What People Are Saying
Testimonials from my clients
Measurable results. Isn’t that what everyone is looking for? How do you measure when your heart, soul, & mind feel lighter? Although I can’t break out a tape measure or beaker, I can tell you that by working with Vicki at Essential Calming Solutions, I have had a palpable shift. Each time we have a session, I am amazed at how much we accomplished together. It is truly a partnership whereby she listens and for your underlying needs and doesn’t just hear what you’re feeling. I would highly encourage anyone to go to Vicki. She can help you overcome difficulties in so many areas: mindset, road blocks, downcast spirit, confusion in life, making hard decisions, and more. The tools & resources that she uses will be useful for multiple areas of your life, and will help you uncover the you that you may have thought you lost. I can’t recommend this practitioner highly enough.

Vicki is so wise, and so full of compassion. I had faced a series of losses (and was entering a season where more losses were coming), and Vicki helped me to navigate the grief I was facing with such grace and wisdom. It is evident that Vicki operates from a place of peace, and each time we spoke, the calm she brought to the conversation helped me to find my way back to peace and wholeness the Lord intended for me to live in, even in the face of loss and grief. Vicki has a wide range of tools and tactics that helped me practically lower the levels of stress and anxiety that I was navigating my way through. Vicki was truly a gift to me, in a time when I really needed it!

Working with Vicki using The Emotion Code has been a blessed journey of healing. I cannot speak highly enough for the manner in which Vicki is professional, caring, intuitive, gifted and ever so gentle. With just the right amount of firmness, she encouraged me with the final nudge which I needed to reach a life-long goal. Vicki and The Emotion Code have provided such success in my life. I am forever grateful and highly recommend her.

I have recently had some issues that have really bogged me down. But lately I have been lucky enough to have several appointments to work with Vicki. She has always made me feel completely comfortable, and eased my anxiety and embarrassment of having to ask for help. She ensures that before I leave, I know how to use the tools that she has taught me. When I leave a session with her, I feel upbeat and better armed to face what will come my way.

“I am doing better. Grief doesn’t seem to be as constant a companion as it once was. I would not have done very well without you. You are a precious gift from God.”

Not only is Vicki gifted but she is very empathetic to people who are struggling – having experienced a very real period of grief in her own life.

Vicki Kolbe is one of the top few professionals I know who understands how to best support others in all aspects of healing. Her enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring. She is compassionate and kind, which makes it easy to connect with her. She has a breadth of experience in diverse educational roles regarding the mind, body, and spirit, which benefits all the lives she touches. I feel honored to know her. If you want to invest in any aspect of becoming whole and fully living in every way, no matter what you have been through, I highly recommend working with Vicki.

I highly recommend working with Vicki Kolbe. She is easy to connect with, deeply caring and very competent.  Vicki has the remarkable ability to zero in to help find the sources of stress and blocks that are keeping me stuck and sharing different techniques to help bring forth a deeper sense of confidence and calm.

I can’t thank you enough for your prayers, kindness, gentle friendship and skilled care and ideas – this journey would have been very different without you.

I went to see Vicki to try EFT, the tapping technique. We worked together to deal with the major stressors that have been affecting me over the past year. It felt good to get it off my mind. It has been several weeks since my session and the anxiety has not returned. Not sure if one session always does the trick, but it did for me. Thank you, Vicki!

It was so very freeing to do this session with Vicki! I feel equipped to handle a situation that an hour before I didn’t even know how to wrap my head around. I am looking forward to our next session!

I truly appreciate having Vicki as a Grief Coach. Her style allows me to open up and understand my feelings and tools to work through the grief.  Using different methods and modalities, Vicki has been a huge part of my healing process.

Vicki is a blessing. A dear friend introduced me to her after the death of my mother three years ago, and she has been a fixture in my journey ever since. Vicki has helped me process additional losses, learn how to be patient and kind to myself, and how to embrace vs. rush healing.
 
I’m forever grateful for Vicki’s patience, relatable experiences, empathy, and expertise as a coach. I look forward to having her by my side as I continue my journey through life.  Vicki is the best!
