*** My Testimony Thank you for the gift of Mystics by the Sea. I had a session with Mary Clare several years ago, and a beautiful experience with Catherine Crowley, who led a reading for my mother. It was thanks to your website that I found Judith. So many beautiful things have come from your healing center in my life alone, so I can only imagine how many others have had life-altering experiences thanks to Mystics by the Sea.
***My Testimony I met with Judith for about 2 years and worked through her Kiss Your Therapist Goodbye Program and then continued with her as my life coach. Working with her has transformed my life. Judith's program is clearly defined with goal setting objectives. She is very skilled at providing support and guidance to navigate self awareness, trauma healing and realization of our authentic selves. When I first met with her I stuck, stuck in a life without the tools to move past it. It is because of Judith that I have come to a place of realizing what my full potential is and can be. The programs defined goals and Judith's guidance supported me in implementing gradual change in my life. My external world has not changed, I have. Thank you Judith! Lisa
*** 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. Age: 38
*** My Testimony When I met Judith O'Connor, I was in the midst of a failing marriage. Most likely, those closest to me were not surprised as my childhood and early adulthood were highlighted by a near death nervous breakdown, volatile romantic relationships, depression and addiction. Throughout those turbulent years, I worked with therapists who prescribed medication and struggled to understand my lack of self-esteem and self-destructive behavior. They failed to uncover any causes or solutions to my troubles. Everything changed when I began my work with Judith. She was able to pinpoint the origination of my emotional wounding and gave me the tools that I needed to heal. Judith taught me how to break old negative patterns of thinking and behaving. She taught me how to love myself, navigate energy and use my gift of sensitivity in positive ways. Now, those closest to me see me as a confident and empowered woman who is surrounded by healthy choices and relationships. Sharon S. June “2020"
*** My testimony My journey started many years ago when a co worker told me about angel reading session she attended, said I had to go, so I did. Me and my daughter went and we were blown away. From there I had a session with Catherine Crowley and it was amazing and exactly what I needed. Then I had a few tarot card readings with Mary. Again, exactly what I needed. I saw Judith O’Connor who taught me to understand my energy, to learn how to ground myself, this was life changing for me. I could live Again. All were great sessions that helped me with my life and gave me what I needed. Fast forward a few years and I had a traumatic experience in my life which destroyed me. For months I was in a very bad place, I cried all the time, didn’t want to get up and deal with the days, I spent all day waiting for nighttime so I could go to bed and not think about my fear. I needed help, I made an appointment with Mary for a tarot card reading as I needed answers. I cried the first half of the reading and she talked to me, read the cards and my answer came out. I felt the darkness just lift off of me. I will state that she saved my life that day. (Mary - with all my heart, thank you!)
Then I decided to retire and after working for 42 years I now had lots of time to do nothing which was scary. I am a caretaker of my Dad which I would not change for anything. However, this can be draining mentally. I was having trouble again with life, I called Mary and asked her if she knew a therapist and she suggested Judith ( not sure why I didn’t think of her on my own). Called her, started seeing her weekly for my sessions. She has no judgment and her energy and caring personality are so welcoming and supportive when all you want to do is cry. She gave me tapes to listen to for energy and grounding. It is amazing how just this can make a difference in daily living. I was struggling with so many things and she shared with me her thoughts which allowed me to understand what I was going through. She gave me my life back. I was lost and not the happy person I used to be and I really thought I lost her forever. I am me again, loving life, going out and loving myself. I can look in the mirror and smile. (At the beginning of my sessions with Judith I was having extreme anxiety and couldn’t stop shaking. I called Mary for a reiki session, she took me a few days later. I left there calm and no longer shaking. She healed my anxiety.)
I also had my astrology chart done with Kat. Wow is all I can say. Great information. Mary, thank you for Mystics and all that you offer. Everyone is caring and supportive and all have been life changing for me. Blessings Donna “2023
