From a 30 year old man who struggled with addiction and childhood Trauma. We had only 4 sessions together (February 2021): 

“Before working with Hadas I had a lot of negative thoughts aimed at myself. I was unable to deal with a lot of basic necessities to properly take care of myself and meet some basic needs. This turned into some addictive behaviours and a lot of avoidance. Through working with Hadas, group therapy and other online support tools, I was able to get to the root of a lot of my personal issues.

Hadas is a very warm, nurturing person with a lot of presence. She offers a lot of great input whilst at the same time leaving room for you to really talk at your own pace. I’d recommend her to anyone who is needing a coach that is comfortable to take the reigns and lead the conversation at times, this was very helpful for me having not done coaching before!”

From Hannah, a 23 year old women who was struggling with high levels of stress (February 2021):

Dear Hadas,

I can’t thank you enough for all of your wisdom and help this winter. Below is a testimonial for your website:

” I cannot believe how fortunate I was to find Hadas’s services when I did. I had just been formally diagnosed with ADHD after a solid decade of struggling with focus, procrastination, time management, self-confidence, self-care, and social anxiety. I had been struggling with medication and was looking for alternatives for both my mental and physical health. I was at yet another breaking point surrounding my university courses and the intense pressure a mountain of missed due dates and deadlines were causing me. How lucky was I to at that point come across Hadas’s website? Upon our first meeting, Hadas immediately created a calm and safe atmosphere for me to be able to feel comfortable opening up. Hadas never treated me like I was broken or need fixing because of my “ADHD” brain like I had experienced with therapists and doctors over the years. Instead she helped me see the unique skills and beauty that my ADHD brain had already. With plenty of wisdom and sensitivity Hadas has expertly assisted me in honing in on my own strengths and applying them to where I was struggling. For the first time in many years I was able to approach my studies and tasks without the crushing stress and actually complete them to my satisfaction. In this, Hadas has been a key part of my journey of rebuilding my self-confidence and allowing me to see my own potential without sacrificing my own creativity or spontaneity. If you are struggling with any problems similar to mine or ones that commonly come with an ADHD diagnoses I can’t recommend Hadas’s coaching enough. Thank you Hadas!”

Love,

Hannah

With the utmost gratitude and love:

I’ve had therapy on and off for years and nobody has ever understood me this profoundly or made me feel as nearly as safe Hadas has. No matter how hard it may be to articulate what I’m feeling, Hadas has a way of helping me bring the root to the surface right away so that we can explore it together. Hadas understands and can expand greatly upon the sensations, thoughts, feelings etc that I have always feared to have been to ethereal for most people let alone science based therapists to understand. I have never looked forward to therapy/coaching the way I look forward to my sessions with Hadas. I laugh, I cry, we close our eyes and mediate if that’s what I feel I need in that moment and she lets me know that I can reach out outside of sessions if need be. Hadas is a game changer and I recommend her to every friend of mine who expresses a desire for a professional to talk to.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

From a 22 year old UBC Sciences student struggling with organization and motivation, and complex relationship with her parents (October 2020):

Prior to working with Hadas, I had struggled with my academics for most of my undergrad. After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, I was determined to not become reliant on medication and sought out alternative strategies to manage my symptoms. I came across Hadas’ website as I was searching for a professional with experience working with individuals with ADHD and decided to send over a consultation request. The support I received from Hadas is so much more than what I could’ve asked for. Hadas always approached our weekly meetings with kindness and compassion, her non-judgemental attitude really allowed me to fully express myself. She created an inviting environment for me to discuss my struggles, and her extensive experience truly showed as she was able to effectively tailor her teaching to suit my needs.

After 5-6 months of meeting, I have seen a noticeable difference in my mindset to learning as well as a dramatic increase in my confidence. No words could ever express the gratitude I have towards Hadas, her teaching has truly been a life-changing experience!

From a 28 year old women struggling with ADHD like difficulties in her work place and other relationships (September 2020):

I have been working with Hadas for over a year now and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! I have seen great improvement in my life since I started coaching – when I came to Hadas I was struggling to balance all the moving parts of my very demanding job. Now, every time I leave our session I have the energy and excitement to take on the challenges I face knowing that I am well supported. I can feel her genuine care and concern for my wellbeing but she also challenges my thinking in a way that helps me continue to grow.

Hadas’ style as a coach is very supportive. She is extremely attentive and can clearly understand what I am trying to achieve, which makes her feedback and suggestions always on point. You can tell that Hadas’ experience and education make her well equipped to work with individuals, but I believe her disposition, being naturally compassionate, and open-minded make her an incredible coach. 

I look forward to a long-lasting working relationship and many years of growth I will have with Hadas. 

From a 40 year old women struggling with physical health and difficult family dynamics (August 2020):

“Hadas is an amazing human being and life coach. Hadas not only integrates her expertise and experiences into her coaching, but also her love and passion to inspire and make a difference in her clients lives. Additionally, Hadas is compassionate and uplifting, as well as patient and insightful. I am really benefiting from her coaching.”

From a 26 year old university student (April 2020):

James and I met once a week from January to April 2020. When James contacted me he was heart broken and unmotivated to complete his university course work. I had the pleasure of guiding him away from the path of self-sabotaging onto the path of self-fulfillment in only 12 sessions. I am proud of him for his determination and participation in this process of transformation. Here is what he wrote to me following his completion of all his university requirements and having a peaceful closure conversation with his ex girl friend.

“When I first reached out to Hadas, I was in a rough spot, having trouble getting over someone and struggling at school; my self-esteem was at a nadir. Counseling and a medication schedule hadn’t done a great deal to help my particular situation, and I sought extra help mainly because I didn’t know what else to do. I booked my first session less because of a studied choice from available options, and more because Hadas was the first one who picked up that day.

I had expected sessions like the talk-therapy that you see in movies, where you talk about your problems and your dreams and your childhood for an hour, but that wasn’t what I got. Talking to Hadas felt more like talking to a friend than to a psychologist, because that’s what it was. It was always less of a session and more of a conversation, and it’s hard to overstate how reassuring it is talking to someone who you can not only trust, but who you know has talked to plenty of people in similar situations before.

Not so long ago I was in a very low place, and one that I was starting to wonder if I’d ever leave. Now I’m somewhere else: graduated, looking forward instead of only inward and downward, and proud of it. It’s always hard to draw lines of causality in life (and she would be the first to tell me to own my success!) but Hadas’ coaching was a big part of it and I am very glad for having had her help.

When I first went to google to seek professional help I was looking for a therapist, but what I had in mind wasn’t precisely what I needed; I needed a coach, and that was what I got. Hadas didn’t help me so much as she showed me how to help myself, and that’s why I’d recommend working with her to anyone in a present similar to my recent past.”

 

From a mother of my client who is in elementary school:

Thank you so much Hadas for the support you have given our whole family. You have helped us clarify and make some major life decisions and have become a true friend and mentor to our daughter when she needed some guidance and a kind, listening ear. Her confidence has blossomed and she is so much more comfortable in her own skin, being her own, unique person while still recognizing the need to be adaptable in her social and school interactions. While school may never end up being her favourite environment, she is learning to face the challenges, advocate for herself and do her best – and I think she has been surprised to find that her best is better than she thought! I’ve been so grateful too to have someone to talk to about her who isn’t judgmental and truly has her best interests at heart. Your kind and gentle way has been wonderful. Thank you for inspiring her and being there for all of us.

From a father of my grade four client:

For the last 18 months, Hadas has been working with our daughter through a variety of social, emotional, and learning issues. Our daughter has been seeing Hadas for most of grade 3 and grade 4. Due to Hadas’ intervention, our daughter has measurably improved in all of the aforementioned aspects. Not only is she performing better academically, but also feels more confident and more socially connected. Hadas is a consummate professional with a keen intellect and a remarkable ability to help children adapt and negotiate the challenges of classroom and school environments. On a personal level, Hadas is caring, gentle, compassionate, and utilizes intervention strategies that are supported by research and experience. We are forever grateful to Hadas for helping our daughter and for contributing to the stability of our family unit.

N.A. developed soulful executive functions needed to make critical decisions: 

Thank you, Hadas! You created a space for me to grow, and make meaningful changes, and take charge of my life. Through our one-on-one dialogues, I gained deeper self-understanding. Our guided meditations provided the perfect tool for bringing that self-understanding into my day-to-day life. Thank you for bringing energy, enthusiasm, positivity, and determination to every meeting, and for helping to bring out the best in me. — N.A.

S.I.C. developed her ability to experience bliss:  

“Hadas, I want to thank you ever so much for all the help you have given me. With all the techniques you’ve shown me I’ve found such a happy place! You helped me find my courage and to fight on any challenge that comes on my way. You are compassionate, insightful, patient and above all, genuine. I truly appreciate all the care you have with your patients! S.I.C.”

B.G. overcame test anxiety through soulful empowerment of his executive functions:

“I was at a very stressful period of my life, and thankfully I found Hadas. I was under an extreme amount of pressure with having to retake my licensing exam, because of my long history with test anxiety. Not passing this exam meant if I would not be able to continue to work and provide for my family and this gave me crippling anxiety. I had never tried hypnotherapy, though I had heard how positively it can help. Hadas offered a calm, non-rushed environment, that didn’t make me feel like I was being held to time restraints. I had three sessions where Hadas taught me the importance of breathing and the breathing techniques used through meditation, which resulted in me finally being able to catch my breath and focus. I re-sat my licensing exam soon after and I incorporated the techniques I learned from Hadas. I PASSED! I honestly believe that if I had not found Hadas and hypnosis that I would not been able to complete the exam successfully, because I would have been too stressed to concentrate. I am forever grateful for her hypnotic assistance and caring attitude.” B.G.

A.L. experienced joyful evolution: 

“Hi Hadas, I want to thank you for yesterday, all that you offered, all that we shared, your time and effort. It was amazing! It has opened so many doors for me. Opportunities to grow, to change out of old patterns… I had a chance today to reflect on it and really enjoyed going over some things that have become clearer.” A.L.

Claudia described her empowerment to evolve into bliss: 

“Hadas, I feel so much better! I’m so very grateful for your help. I have a lot more clarity than before and I feel a lot lighter. Thank you again! I feel immense gratitude for this level of help. Thank you for your gift of your work and effort. I’m so excited, grateful and empowered to have this practice. It feels so right and potent.
Finally I can be free and be me!
Blessings and Love,
Claudia.”

Barbara described her deep transformation through self-understanding: 

“It has been my great honor to meet Hadas. I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I met Hadas Av-Gay in person, I knew immediately I’d met a deep, spiritually evolved soul. During the course of my reading, I could not help but weep with relief in moments because I had never had anyone read my deepest self with so much accuracy. Hadas’s gentleness and way of conveying powerful information to me, made such an impact in the most positive way, as many things I had felt and experienced in this life, suddenly made much more sense. I learned things that I had long suspected and needed to know about. The dots finally became connected. I am grateful to Spirit for leading me to Hadas and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have a deeper understanding of their past, their lessons and their purpose.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this testimonial.

Barbara

Vancouver, BC”

A.D. was grateful for the teachings and guidance she received during our work together:

“Dear Hadas, Happy New Year!! I hope you are all doing fantastic and enjoying the season 🙂

I had a great experience with Hadas. She is very professional and insightful. The work we did was a life changing soul healing. The messages she had to pass on to me were very detailed, relevant and accurate. They were extremely helpful and have guided me for the last couple of years giving me a lot of clarity.

Hadas has a deep understanding and knowledge, which she combines with a very intuitive sense.

She truly has a gift.” 

A.A. testimonial is presented as is for Hebrew readers as it was given to me:

לפעמים בחיים, יש רגעים שהכל נראה קשה, מבלבל , תקוע , לא ברור ובעיקר מפחיד.

כך הגעתי לפגישה הראשונה שלי עם הדס.  הדס עזרה לי לעזור לעצמי במציאת תשובות לשאלות קשות שהטרידו אותי מאוד . שאלות כמו,  איך הגעתי עד הלום?  למה אני מרגישה רע כלפי עצמי.

הדס עזרה לי להסתכל על החיים ב “big picture “

לא רק מהאספקט הפסיכולוגי אלא גם מהזוית הרוחנית,  שנקרא לזה- היקום.  הבנתי שגם ליקום יש את התוכנית שלו לגבי המסע שלנו בחיים.  הדס עזרה לי לראות איך צומחים וגדלים מכל מצב של קושי ובלבול. איך להסתכל על דברים ממקום של צמיחה ולמידה. המפגשים שלי איתה “העלו אותי על הפסים” מהר מאוד ובעיקר למדתי לסלוח לעצמי ולשחרר את רגשות האשם שהיו כמטען עודף בחיי.

להדס יש את היכולת לעשות זאת עם הידע העצום שיש לה בתחום הרוחני והפסיכולגי.  זוהי גישה שמשלבת את שני האספקטים ביחד ומביאה לתוצאות מהירות.
