Client Experiences

"My work with Xochi was initiated by the onset of some difficult health issues.  Xochi has such a profound gift of gentle presence and intuitive understanding.  Each session more of the root physical, emotional, spiritual causes are discovered and cleared.  I leave feeling aligned and aware and untangled from whatever issues I brought into the session ..."

And that is just the point...
how the world, moist and beautiful, calls each of us
to make a new and serious response.

That's the big question,
the one the world throws at you every morning,
"Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?"

​- Mary Oliver

From Ashley in Los Angeles, CA
"That was the most amazing session yet!  Right after, I kept urinating; it was some form of release.  My womb was silent for the first time in a number of years. Absolute exhaustion set in a few hours after our time together.  Happily exhausted today and excited to see, feel this huuuge shift....Thank you for helping me!  I am in a state of rejoicing - crazy good!!!"

From Curly Willow in Cotati, CA
"Just a quick note to say thank "YOU" for being "YOU".  There is "YOU" who delivers in a way that feels as though there is unbroken continuity between "YOU" and your work - your authenticity shines through so pure and powerful that I had to write this to let you know that you left a deeper and more lasting impression on me than I had before my session.  Many blessings to you on your journey!"
​
From Sheila in Dublin, CA
"Thank you so, SO much for yesterday! Hearing you speak about your journey was incredibly comforting to me and exactly what I needed to hear in every way. I feel for the first time in a while, firmly assured that I'm not "crazy" (or alone) in wanting to do this kind of service and feel empowered to keep walking on the path with playful curiosity and trust. I'm still in awe (and probably always will be!) of the synchronicity in meeting you and am bursting with joy (and happy tears) that you're in my life.  My heart feels so deeply full and inspired.  I am looking forward to our future sessions/workshops together. What a joy!"

From Kirsten in Petaluma, CA after a Mitote
"Thank you!  I have so much to be grateful for - being with others in such vulnerability, none of us knowing what to expect.  The subtleties of the "experience" - so amazing!  I was in such a trance during the Mitote and am still working with it.  Thank you!"

From Esther in Oakland, CA
"Dear Xochi, I just want to tell you that I've been pausing to ask the question as you suggested, "How is this all unfolding perfectly?" and I love it!  This question is a masterpiece for my brain, helping me to shift from seeing things as a problem to wonder and curiosity.  Thank you!  I love you!"

From Tess in Sonoma, CA
"I am still in a state of utter amazement after our time together today.  Feeling so giddy!  Thank you for all of the wonderful work you do!  I am so grateful to be able to feel love and freedom now - you are a huge part of that!  You give people the freedom to truly love and connect.  It is such amazing work."

From Marsha in San Rafael, CA
"I have an amazing sense of calm and peace since my last visit with you.  I have shifted from a state of agitation and blame to a sense of calm and surrender:-)  Thank you for waking up these emotions in me."

From Amy in Santa Rosa, CA
"Hi Xochi!  I just wanted to thank you again for a very liberating session!  WOW!!  I feel very transformed!  You rock!"

From Deanna in New York after a Mitote
"What has struck me since the Mitote is how calm and serene and positive I feel.  I'm not focusing on people's edges or negativity.  I feel so renewed!  I feel a shift and expansion in my way of perceiving, with a deeper connection to all things around me.  Its so incredible and it happened and is happening so gently and quietly.  New doors of perception I am slowly opening.  Much gratitude and love!"

From Jennifer in Mill Valley, CA
"My sessions with you seem to take me out of my story.  Even though I may be recounting my story I can somehow step out of it and laugh.  I think that is why seeing you is so effective for me.  I am no longer a victim in my life - instead I begin to see and actually laugh about all of the funny things I do to wiggle out of my life.  IT IS SO HELPFUL!  I am so grateful to you for sharing your journey with me as well - it helps immensely to know I'm walking this path alongside you.  Thank you for oh so much!"

​From Sarah in Petaluma, CA
"I finally went to the dentist as you suggested and he found that I have exactly what we discovered in my session with you.  You were right on.  Keep up the good work!  Thank you!"

Text from 6-year-old Gina in Oregon
"I miss you and I wish I were with you right now.  I miss you Xochi, love you.  It was a great day with you and I wish this was the same day.  How are you doing?  I wish you were moving, Xochi.  Thank you for letting me be with you for one day."

From Monique in Bali
"Thank you Xochi for SEEING me, for VALIDATING the work I have done, and for making me feel heard.  Part of me is just stuck in the old neural pathway of feeling unsafe that started from my surgery as an infant.  My mind has been playing tricks on me.  However now I am beginning to see how I have the power to create new neural pathways, and that shifting these pathways is the most powerful thing.  You are right!  Much love and gratitude!"

From Amy in New York, NY
Xooooooochiiiiiiii!  My face is healing by the minute!  It is amazing!"

From Joy in Lake County, CA
"I just wanted to let you know that meeting with you has changed my life.  I am looking forward to working with you a lot more.  You have inspired me!"

From Lois in Petaluma, CA
"Dearest Xochi, I can't thank you enough!  What an incredibly uplifting and soul lightening experience!  I feel delightfully relieved of pressure and contraction and a lovely expansion of peace in my being, calm and happy and open to possibility, oh joy!  I'm filled with appreciation for you sharing your spark of life; you're making art!"

From Steve in Mill Valley, CA
"I like your approach!  Opening the heart and melting blocks and walls. I feel different today. Better. Freer and more in my masculine power! So powerful. Energy flowing and firing all over the place.  I really am feeling inspired and blessed to be working with you and burning through all of this old baggage.  Quite the accelerated alchemical purification process.  Thank you!!"

From John in Petaluma, CA
"I highly recommend The Emotion Code to help remove old stuck blocks and programs. At each visit, with Xochi’s loving guidance, we dove more deeply into stuck patterns and I left the visits feeling more hope and peace. She also provided me with clear, concrete ideas on how I could continue to improve even after the sessions. I truly believe that the issues we worked on have resolved and I feel so much better. The best part was to have a calming, loving and gifted person like Xochi guide me through this process. Thank you!"

From Chris in Cotati, CA
"Xochi, the workshop was pure delight and wonder!  Thank you so much!!  What a mind opener!  Really expanded the portal of my non-thinking!  The knowledge you've amassed is notable...and the way you presented it demonstrated the great degree of flexibility, equanimity, and open-mindedness you continue to cultivate....as well as the joy, delight, wonder and simplicity that can be involved when we learn to recognize left brain influences coming in and out! Fascinating! THANK YOU!" 

From Jessica in Petaluma, CA
"My teenage son, my horse and I have all had sessions with Xochi and our lives have been changed.  I personally now feel moved enough to want to practice The Emotion and Body Codes.  I felt held, heard and transformed on a deep level.  My son felt completely at ease with Xochi, and since the session he has been feeling lighter, staying in balance and inspired by life.  He wants to do more!  I highly recommend these treatments with Xochi;  just being with her is healing.  The work is mind blowing and miraculous, and the unconditional love that shines from Xochi's heart and soul are equally as healing...maybe more."

From Sherry in Au Gres, MI
"Calm is a word I would never use to describe myself!  This week I had a remote holistic healing session from Xochi.  She is absolutely beautiful in every way!!  I must say I was nervous and fearful of doing this, but I am so thankful for this gift I was given because it was an absolutely AMAZING experience!!  The word I was left with at the end of the session and the way MY WHOLE BEING has felt since then is "calm".  No matter what has come at me or who has tested me, I have felt calm.  Everything feels different than it ever has before.  AAHHHHHH!"

From Karen in Petaluma, CA: 
"My work with Xochi was initiated by the onset of some difficult health issues.  Xochi has such a profound gift of gentle presence and intuitive understanding.  Each session more of the root physical, emotional, spiritual causes are discovered and cleared.  I leave feeling aligned and aware and untangled from whatever issues I brought into the session.  In particular, the last few weeks have been AMAZING.  There are finally some paths appearing and it is SO exciting!  They make sense as my "what's next" to the extent that I just know its the way forward.  I'm starting to feel energized within myself.  Much gratitude!"

From Christine in Arlington, VA:
"Working with Xochi, I was able to come present to the anxiety banging around inside of me--come present to it, accept it, and discover God's presence in it vs. running from it, trying to shove it down, and it screaming all the louder.  Almost inevitably, after each session, I felt myself more at rest with being God's beloved daughter, regardless of the larger circumstances in my life.  This has been a great gift to me."

From Merry in Penngrove, CA:
"Working with Xochi was very refreshing.  I came to her looking for mentorship and perspective on my own Emotion Code journey.  Her quiet and trustworthy spirit completely relaxed any nervousness I had.  She was able to show me where my fears lay and how to see them openly.  I had never been in such a meditative state before and it was amazing to see how your body transforms in empty space.  I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and so grateful to know such an intuitive practitioner.  I look forward to working with Xochi again!"

From Richard in Sebastopol, CA:
"I've been seeing Xochi on and off for over a year.  She is constantly exuding warmth, acceptance and trust, and creates a safe and loving space wherever she is."

From Anne in Cotati, CA:
"Wow! It was a really great experience for me! When I was standing I felt like I was in Mountain pose with my body shifting and lengthening into position, moving ever so slightly to discover a better position. At one point my eyes were closed and I was pushing forward so I opened my eyes to see what angle I could possibly be at only to discover it was the most straight up and down I think I’d been all night. Fun!  The pain went from a 4 to a 0 within that short span of time!  That was amazing.

And what else was beautiful was while you were sending me this energy my thoughts went to an event I was feeling awkward about attending next week.  I knew I was awkward about it because of the same old story – not being wanted.  And when I’m like that there is no logical way to change my mindset about it that I’ve found. But as the image of being there appeared to me I saw the whole scene change in front of my eyes. I was no longer awkward and withdrawn, I was present and emitting light.  And then thoughts could come in that were even logical about why it was really good for me to attend this event, unlike before.  A general sense of peace for myself and the meeting came.  That was a really neat unexpected benefit!  After the session was over I was able to lay there happily with all the new peaceful sensations, and the lack of pain!"

From Jolet in Sonoma, CA:
"Xochi and I have been exploring both the spiritual and scientific aspects of healing, and how it actually manifests itself on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.  Having studied several exciting healing systems, we have come to the realization that they all have one very important thing in common--healing is based on the body remembering its innate perfection.

Anyone coming to Xochi for guidance on their healing journey will encounter a very intuitive and warm person who herself is constantly evolving.  Through her in-depth knowledge of the Emotion and Body Codes, she helped me discover the reason behind my chronic fatigue, and her fluency with Holistic Kinesiology allowed her to figure out instantly what my body needed in terms of supplements."

From Mike in Penngrove, CA:
"Xochi has helped me to trust more in life's flow.  Her sessions have been gentle, soothing, practical and freeing.  I see her once a month and each time come away with a renewed appreciation for the miracle of my innate body-spirit-mind wisdom.  I feel more grounded within my True Self and I love the immediate results!  You will find that Xochi's voice and manner are warm and loving and bring much comfort."

From Kathy in Petaluma, CA:
"Thank you for the session last night!  While standing I noticed my body started rocking back and forth and then I noticed that I was in need of taking deep breaths in order stabilize myself. After five minutes, I laid down and started to have memories of my mother when I was a young child. I fell asleep almost immediately after that and woke up right when the session was ending, feeling slightly dizzy and in a complete state of relaxation. It was really such an amazing feeling.  Also, you were 100% correct about the trapped emotions you found when I was a child.  Now I am feeling a bit more clear-headed and filled with a sense of peace. This peace however has also led me into a sense of grief and depression which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing and is most likely all a part of the process.  Even though the grief and sadness have not diminished, my voice is more accessible. Since our last session, I have not felt so intimidated or conflicted about being able to ask for what I want.  I also sensed that my chest had opened up and I didn't feel it become tight when speaking with people or presented with new situations. As a result I found that I was able to stay more grounded."

From Mary in Petaluma, CA:
"One morning last summer I woke up and made my family breakfast as usual when I felt a sharp pain in my side.  I had not felt this pain before and felt a sense of panic.  I was supposed to work that day and did not know what to do because the pain was really sharp and it was hard to breathe.  I called a friend and she suggested that I call Xochi.  Xochi came over and helped me to realize that the pain was related not only to my own guilt about making a big decision for myself but it was guilt carried from my relationship with my mother.   It was preventing me from sleeping well and eventually brought this sharp pain.  Xochi helped me recognize it and release it, and the pain went away almost as suddenly as it came!"

From Ruth in Sebastopol, CA:
"I was standing in the beginning, being very still and my hips started rocking from side to side, slightly. I couldn't hold them still, they were just going.  All of a sudden I realized that I could relax my right shoulder. I let it go, and it felt level with the left one. I stood there a bit longer and let myself just stand there and relax. It felt really good. I haven't been aware of myself like this in a really long time, it makes me want to do more!  Now 3 days later, my neck has been without pain or discomfort since the energy work.  It always feels a little different than the other side, but it doesn't burn and ache like it has for so long.  These last few days I haven't really had any pain or discomfort. That is so cool! 

Also, last night I had a dream that I was experiencing an earthquake, and I wasn't scared because I knew it would be over soon and things would be better afterward, and I woke up right after and the first thing that I thought of was how well I had handled the "shift" in my dream.  It goes deep, Xochi!  It's quite exciting!  I am REALLY looking forward to the next session!"

From Kate in Houston, TX:
"During my session with Xochi I was impressed by her intuitive gift to discover so easily what I really wanted to hide during the session. I say that laughing, even, because it sounds a little ridiculous that we would go into a healing session wanting to hide our pain, but I did. I was looking for a way to go around 'the way' through. God is ever-present, though, and certainly blessed our discussion because afterwards, I was liberated to let go of people and situations. I am so thankful to Xochi, I felt safe to share, cared for and heard. I also have to give my thanks to our God, that people of the Kingdom are stepping out unafraid in this time to use their God-ordained gifts for the healing of each of us and thus taking their part in the healing of the world."

From Claire in Albuquerque, NM:
"Thank you for sharing energy work with me last night.  When I was standing for the first 5 minutes, I felt a physical shift and literally like an opening of my hips/sacrum, so that was cool.  Then I sat down and was asleep on the couch before I even thought about it again.  I woke up right before the end and went straight to bed and could feel the emotional intensity rising.  But when I woke up this morning it had diminshed.  Now the emotional intensity is very low.  Something shifted last night and I am feeling so much better!  Thank you for making the opening:)"

From Dave in Albuquerque, NM:
"Wow!  Thank you for all this valuable info!  My childhood memories (under the age of 13) are “wiped out.”  I can recall only very few incidences, so what you shared is very interesting.  What resonates is the “re-enactment” of situations that “continued the vibration” – which I did for many years by choosing inappropriate partners for relationship after my divorce.  What also very deeply resonates for now is the word “merciful” – which I am pretty much “bathing” in during this Lent – as it works its grace both ways: inward and outward.  So this was a great session for me and I thank you so much for sharing this process.
