*** My Testimony In March 2020, I fell ill with COVID-19. Although I recovered after about two weeks, I began to experience long-haul effects in the months that followed, including chronic hair loss. By October 2021, I was mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained from feeling chronically ill for so long with no real answers. I was depressed and lost. I knew that I needed to seek help, but I also knew that I needed something different than the more traditional methods of therapy. One evening, I was inspired to check the Mystics by the Sea website, and I stumbled on Judith O’Connor’s information and picture. I was immediately drawn to her and wrote to her that very night. Judith called me the next day, and I knew from the second I heard her voice that my spirit guides had directed me to her and we were meant to meet one another. I’m not sure that words will ever fully capture the gratitude I have for Judith. She offered me a judgment-free, warm, welcoming, comforting space to talk about things that I had never discussed with anyone before. I was able to speak openly about my intuitive gifts and my desire to harness them, and how I was afraid that maybe I was really just “crazy.” Judith restored my faith in myself and gave me the tools to overcome my fears and cope with my illness. She gave me back my hope that I will make a full recovery. Perhaps most importantly, she is the reason I was able to finally deal with a sexual assault that happened in my teenage years; to finally grieve what I lost, work through the anger/tears/fears and then, overcome the trauma that it had created. Judith guided me through a spiritual journey that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life and thanks to her program, I’m released from a weight that held me down for so many years. One of the most “measurable” examples of what I have been able to accomplish thanks to Judith’s program is the fact that finally, at age 38, I learned to drive. For 22 years, my fear of driving limited my freedom and independence. I moved from the suburbs to Manhattan in my early 20s, mainly because a large city with public transportation was the only place I could really get by without a license. I want so badly to move to a quiet place now that I’m older, but without being able to drive, this was never possible. Every time I even thought about conquering my fear of driving, I felt such a crippling, dreadful fear that I gave up and avoided the subject entirely. Well, within months of meeting Judith, I was taking driving lessons in one of the busiest boroughs of New York City. I utilized the grounding techniques Judith taught me before each lesson. And within 3 months of getting behind the wheel, I passed my driver’s test. At age 38, I finally got my driver’s license! A whole world of possibilities has opened before me. I can move anywhere; I can finally take control of my life! Judith’s program was a life-altering experience for me. I am certain that she is gifted, and she knows how to use her gifts to meet each client exactly where they need to be met emotionally, spiritually and mentally. She is a counselor, a teacher, and a guide who has developed a step-by-step program, but it’s clear that she doesn’t just “prescribe” this program to her clients the way a doctor would prescribe a medication and say: This will fix it. Her program is not a passive experience on either side. It’s interactive on both ends, and she invests a lot of time, resources, and energy into working with you to then share in your joy when you succeed. It is really a beautiful experience, and one that I would recommend to anyone. I am so very grateful for Judith! Kristen S.
