— NW Shoshone Nation Tribal Member talking to Candice
Candice, I truly have no words to express my gratitude to you. My heart sends you so much love and my soul sends you so many thanks. You helped save my family. You made healing possible for all of us.
— Trauma Survivor, 1 year post intensive
This has been an amazing experience. I want my parents to come here to heal.
— Navajo Tribal Member
Thank you for including us in the intensive. Meg, Chris and Candice have incredible gifts and we are grateful to have this opportunity. It is clear to me that we need to continue with IFS therapy for our daughter and for us! Thank you again!
— Parent of Autistic young adult female
I have thought of you so much this year. Grateful beyond words for the healing you, (and others at your center), helped to facilitate for myself and my children. Thank you for your contribution to the highest good of the Oneness. I am forever changed because you opened your heart to the inspiration of Source, and took me on as a patient of your loving care and guidance. I’m remarkably different today than I was when we started, and even finished , together. Many blessing to you. Sending you and yours love and light. With deep and abiding appreciation.
— Betrayed Partner
I want to tell you how grateful I am to you for the transformation that is occurring in my best friend.  I would never have imagined my partner could make such progress in such a short period of time.  This is miraculous and I am beyond thankful that she found her way to your blue cottage.
— Male partner of Trauma Survivor
I just wanted to send a quick year-end note of thanks for all you both did for me these past few years. Though my marriage was not salvageable, I am a much healthier person than I have ever been because of the work I did with Namaste.
— Betrayed Partner
I just listened to last week’s recording of ND connections class and loved it!
This class has been awesome for really understanding myself and my kids so much more.  It’s fascinating to get this much insight into my own brain… I love that it’s not ‘who I’m and that’s how I’m wired,’ but that there’s actually a reason I do the things I do.
— Autistic Woman attending Candice's Online Neurodiverse Connections Class
I just want to express my gratitude to you both and Namaste as a whole.  I really have felt so fulfilled in the last month of both individual and group therapy.  I really appreciate you both allowing me to voice my needs (that is really tough for me to do and I usually don’t). I know I have so much work to do, but I feel like I am getting so much out of therapy.  I genuinely look forward to your groups.
— Non-Binary Individual In Our Sexual Recovery Program
I feel deeply that both of you listen and take into consideration my needs/requests as well as others.  I am so grateful for what you guys offer at Namaste.  It has been such a source of healing, support, and depth that I have deeply needed.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
— Individual attending Namasté for trauma and addiction
Candice and Meg, I would like to thank you for the fantastic experience that my partner had this past week. If you would, please extend my thanks to Chris and Debbie as well. He appears more at peace with himself, and I told him that his eyes actually look different - more open and peaceful.  I believe that his work with you will change his life, and his future and current relationships.
— Partner of individual who attended a 5-day intensive
We too, are so thankful we found Namastè. It has been a blessing and life changing for our Autistic son & our whole family really.
— Parent of Autistic Adult
Thank you so much for your consistent contribution to the community - you are amazing! Just wanted to send sincere gratitude to you for being such an inspiration to me - thank you, Candice!
Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!”
— Individual attending NCH for Autism support and therapy
I really can’t thank you enough for your compassion, wisdom, and love. Over the past twenty years of individual therapy, I’ve not had a therapist who’s made the rapid impact as you have on my well being. You, Chris, and the Namaste team, are really nothing short of magic.
— Female who attended a 5-day intensive
I just want to say thank you so much for your suggestion for group. I feel so grateful. This is some of the deep work I need and I’m excited to continue working with the group and learning.
— Male attending NCH Sexual Recovery Group
You are a great therapist with a wealth of knowledge. I’m really looking forward to continuing with you and Heath as well as the rest of the gang.
— Male in one of NCH's Sexual Recovery Groups
I can’t thank you enough for a great week. This level of “drilling down” into what makes him tick is exactly what we’ve been looking for, for years. I wish I had found you earlier- we would have moved to SLC just to be close! Thank you for your transparency, patience and wisdom. We are deeply grateful.
— Parent of Autistic adult who attended NCH's 5-day intensive
I have been basking in the spirit of much gratitude since our visit last week, and I wanted to take a moment this morning to reach out and thank you (once more!) for the many ways you continue to support my healing.
— Female Trauma Survivor
There hasn’t been a day gone by that I haven’t felt sure that I was led to your center, your team... YOU. Thank you for everything you have done to position yourself to help people like me (and my family!) find healing. It feels miraculous to me that I am on this path, finding my way back to my Self.
— Female Trauma Survivor
I feel an abundance of love and appreciation for each one of you and for the calm and supportive energy that abounds in that little house. I give thanks every day that I have been so fortunate to know you all.
— Female Betrayal Trauma Survivor
I have missed each of you, your positive energy, and your space at Namaste.It is hard to believe how much I have grown in the three days I spent with you all. I feel like a different person positively. Thank you for being such good caretakers, healers, and coaches. I am and will be forever grateful.
— Bipoc Female, 3 Day Intensive
Candice, it was a gift to meet you virtually today. I wanted to thank you for wanting to get my perspective as you work with my husband. He is very lucky to have found you and your organization. Thank you for working with him and your genuine interest in making him recover and be a better human being. I hope I was able to address the questions you had for me.
— Female Betrayal Trauma Survivor
Chris, After I finished visiting with you I met my kids at the car. As soon as I unlocked the doors she blurted the following ‘Mom! I LOVE my guy!! What’s his name again? Chris? He’s PERFECT for me!!’ She said she felt so understood and validated by you, and that you have already taught her some very actionable skills that she’s planning to put to use to help her cope with her anxiety. That’s a win!
— Parent of Neurodifferent Teen
I really did want you guys to know how much of an impact you had on my recovery. I don’t think I have mentioned my time in recovery without attaching Namaste to it somewhere in the story. I am getting terminated from probation soon. I can’t say it’s all been easy but it was definitely worth it. I am a changed person and couldn’t be happier with the direction my life is going now. Thank you!
