Ask Arda Life Coaching, Menlo Park CA

Yao helped me through a lifelong struggle that I had been dealing with.
She helped me see things from a different perspective and gave me the tools to retrain my mind, body, and reactions. She is very warm, kind trustworthy, and made me feel comfortable and open.
There were many times during our session where I allowed myself to feel completely vulnerable and it was during those times that were the biggest transformations from you. This is a journey, but I am grateful for the tools that Yao has shared with me to continue to make the changes that I need to push forward.

I have been coached by Jonathan for quite some time now and have noticed a difference on how I process my daily life. Jonathan's approach to family stress, possessing grief and how to overcome anxiety has been life changing. He is an amazing Life Coach. I would recommend any of the coaches at Ask Arda to help you build a centered life that brings that bring more peace and happiness.

When I met Arda, I was at a crossroads with my career, and was feeling unsettled in my relationships. I was confused emotionally and didn’t know how to move forward. Every session with Arda started to completely shift my paradigm. His meditations, method and guidance has helped me process my thoughts and emotions so profoundly that I have stepped into my power of true realization. I now own my own business, I’ve set up healthy boundaries, and use his tools for sustaining harmonious relationships. He is a very caring listener and holds a gentle space for emotional processing, without judgement. He provided me with a path towards inner awareness and I am truly grateful for his kind hearted soul. This experience has been a breath of fresh air. Don't hesitate to work with Arda, you will only rise to realize a new way to break through your own self limiting patterns.

I worked with Jonathan. He's been tremendous in helping me navigate some challenges I was having at work and at home. He skillfully helped uncover old issues that was affecting my current situation and shared a variety of tools that I can use on a daily basis to break free of old patterns. I learned breathing techniques, meditation, communications skills, productivity hacks and more. Ultimately it felt very empowering having someone in my corner giving me the support I needed. More importantly, I saw dramatic improvements in my work and home life. Even got a glowing review at work where my boss noted my positive changes.

I only wish I learned this things many years ago!

There are times when life hits you hard, Divorce is one. So hard I felt the pain penetrating my whole body. I know I need help, professional help. I called many therapists and psychologists, repeating my stories again and again, searching for some connection and resonation. Arda's voice was so soothing，he offered solutions and suggestions to me rightway over the phone, and connected me with his colleague Yao Zou.

Mrs Zou speaks bilingual languages, Chinese and English. I like this additional option although we communicated with English. She is kind, caring, bright and professional. She listens, and I know she understands and cares about my feelings. She teaches me a 3 * 3 breathing exercise which is powerful and efficient when I get emotional during the sessions. She connects me with my inner self, and power. She helps me regain confidence and comfort. She guides me with her smile and warmth through this difficult time. By the 3rd session, I was already looking forward to meeting her again. I am glad I reached out for professional help. Don't hesitate and be skeptical when you are in a dangerous situation. I know recovering from loss, pain, and grief might take longer than I would like. Life is such a journey filled with smile and tears, we will keep moving on.

I cannot say enough good things about my experiences working with Arda. I can honestly say every area of my life has completely transformed and improved because of Arda's 5-step Power Process. The tools and techniques that he shared with me helped me begin to understand my limiting thought patterns and behaviors. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin, my relationships are more joyful and fulfilling, and I am more aware of the professional path I want to pursue.

I was referred through my functional doctor to reach out to Arda for stress reduction and emotional wellbeing. He introduced his simple 5 step POWER to me, which has shed light into our subconscious programming and brought awareness between mind, body, heart, and our own limiting life and thought patterns. Even though the connection between thoughts and actions are recognized by many teachings, few point to the impact of residual emotions or energy stored in our body. The POWER method allows us to recognize that and release the residual energies stored as triggers in our body. This technique allows us to uncover the root causes of our stuckness in work or relationships and lead us to reprogram our lives to align with our high self. It is a journey through which I have gained much insights and wellbeing.

Unbelievable mindfulness practice that will truly transform your mindset, and your general happiness with life.

My life is so much more enjoyable, fulfilling, and stress free since I started the Rise 2 Realize approach. The transformation was at both a professional and personal level.

I cannot stress how much their mindfulness teachings can actually help everybody!
