I want to thank you; the path in which you guided me to heal my, Spirit, Soul and Body, I can't express how my life has changed.

The energy you give, inspired me to change. The aura you display can only come from love. I constantly did a lot of zoning out and never thought about the things I needed to do.

I have worked with Claudia to deal with childhood trauma. She is a gifted intuitive and healer who has developed a unique approach for accessing the consciousness and helping clear stuck energetic patterns. My health, happiness and emotional well being have greatly improved during the course of my work with Claudia. She continues to expand her abilities and I look forward to her continued support, caring and wisdom.

Over the last 2 years Claudia Smarkola has worked closely with me in the areas of physical, cognitive, and spiritual healing. Physical – By using researched and established methods, simple yet effective exercise therapies one can do at home, Claudia helped me find physical relief from both a distal tremor in my left hand, and lower back sciatica that I suffered with for 19 years. Cognition – I had dealt with rather sever stress and anxiety for years to the point of separating myself from people. Claudia provided techniques I could do on a daily basis to help ground myself back into reality and once again function in society. Claudia also provided life coaching to help me focus on my future endeavors in a positive way. Spiritual – Claudia introduced me to Native American shamanistic spiritual healing sessions that both revealed past factors that occurred in my life and had a negative impact on my well being and provided spiritual uplifting that definitely made a positive difference. I have felt very comfortable with being both open and honest about many aspects of my counseling needs. Claudia takes an understanding and definitely non-judgmental approach which I feel has produced a very welcoming “wellness experience.” I would highly recommend her.

I had several healing sessions with Claudia. I had a spot on my shoulder blade that just ached all the time. I felt like it had an emotional component. I had read “The Emotion Code” and learned that trauma can get trapped in your body and cause physical issues. I had tried everything else to calm it down: meditation, massage, physical therapy and traction, but it kept aching. Claudia did find some trapped emotion from childhood trauma; she did shamanic healing on me. The ache has been better since we worked on it. She told me it would probably take two sessions which is what it took. I don’t understand how she does what she does but I do believe Claudia is a gifted healer. I hope you can find relief with her, as I did.

Claudia Smarkola has been my peer therapist for 4 years. She is a superb therapist. She brings depth of understanding, compassion and creative insight and support to her work. I always knew when we worked together that she would help me learn skills to help me see what might be holding me back or causing me fear and anxiety. She always empathized with the emotions and experiences I expressed and helped me discover their roots that were hidden from me but were causing me difficulties and distress. Many of the revelations and skills and meditations she helped me to work with I still use. She got me through some very difficult times and helped nurture my growth over the course of our work. She did some healing work on my back which was also very helpful. She is a very talented, dedicated and experienced therapist and healer. It is clear she has worked hard on her own emotional and spiritual journey and is able to bring the fruits of that work to understanding and helping her clients on their own journey. I heartily recommend her. She was a trusted and treasured part of my pursuit of emotional growth and stability and I know she can bring this too many others besides myself.
