Core Level Healing

I signed up for a Core Level Healing personal 10 day Detox Retreat as well as several phone sessions with Kathleen Downey. She presented herself online as successful and experienced and a «Certified Ecopsychologist». When I attended the retreat, I found Kathleen both unprofessional and unethical.
As a licensed mental health provider myself– it is deeply disturbing that Kathleen is working in this field and advertises under the title of Counseling and Mental Health. Kathleen demonstrated lack of confidentiality by talking about her clients (by name) and their issues. She also demonstrated poor boundaries, poor communication skills, and a lack of ability to focus on my individual needs. My experience is that she projected her personal issues onto our work together. This did not create a «healing» or empowering environment and I decided to leave early and to continue the program at home.
When I decided to leave, Kathleen did not provide any closure or support, was not available to say goodbye, and I have not heard from her since. In my experience, she was more concerned with getting paid rather than supporting me in completing the retreat in a better environment.
On a positive note– Kathleen is a wonderful cook and her recipes are very good. But BE WARNED about working with her in a «counseling» or retreat context. It was a very disappointing and upsetting experience and I left feeling worse then I have in years. Hopefully this review will help others not make this same mistake.

As always, whenever I am in doubt about things in my life I know its time to go see Kathleen, and once again she has cleared my doubt and shown me a clear path. I don’t know what I would do without her help. She is an amazing healer! Thank you again and again Kathleen!!!
