Scott - Software Consultant I remember really clearly what prompted me to go see Luis. I kept hearing these amazing stories of getting help, and people were just raving, and so I just had to go check him out for myself. For my own self, my own journey, and trying to be happier, and deal with my stuff, I was just really curious. Actually what I did is I went to one of the free seminars to go check him out. When I went for the demonstration I just got a really good vibe. It was just like, wow, this guy seems really cool, I really trust him, and it was at that point I decided to schedule an appointment with him. He struck me as being so easy going, and non-pretentious, and easy to be around... click for more

Margo - Non-profit Professional & Mother Interviewer: What made you contact Luis originally?

Margo:
I had suffered from depression since I was a teenager. For about 8 years, from the time I was 22 until I was 30, I saw a psychiatrist weekly--or almost weekly--for those entire 8 years. I had tried over 15 antidepressants, probably 25 different combinations of things, and had done all sorts of different types of talk therapy. I had seen several of the country's top psychiatrists and gotten many second opinions, but nothing helped. I was thinking of trying electric shock treatment because that was the last thing that traditional western medicine offered to me. Then some friends referred me to Luis. I flew from the east coast out here to Nevada City, and spent three weeks here. I saw Luis three times a week. In those few weeks, the sessions with Luis began to significantly alleviate the depression and terror for me. I'm sorry I gave you such a long answer. I get so excited by it!... click for more

Bernice I never would have believed that I could actually have a memory released as I did with the fact that I made the decision about myself when I was thirteen years old - 57 years ago - that there was something wrong with me, and that is what caused the depression that I had. There was so much anger around it. I definitely feel less anger now... click for more

Bill Generally when I went to see Luis, it was usually with some frustration regarding an experience in my life, at work, for example. Or difficulty with someone I would be interacting with, and wanting to feel more comfortable in the situation.

One of the main values I received from working with Luis is learning tools that I could use myself to help me deal with pain that I was experiencing in the Pain Body... click for more

Rose - Therapist/Counselor I became acquainted with Luis shortly after I had finished reading The Power of Now [by Eckhart Tolle]. As fate would have it, I had picked up the book, and read it. I was just amazed by the book. Then, one day on my way to work, I was listening to KVMR and they were talking about a Power of Now group that had formed in Nevada City. I was like, "Wow, that's amazing!" and they gave a number and I called.

I went to the session and met Luis that night at the Power of Now meeting. He began talking about the book, and about working on being present, and I thought this was wonderful... click for more

Maureen - Schoolteacher As a practitioner, Luis was recommended to me by two people whose opinions meant a lot. I was going through a very rough time including heavy depression, anxiety, insomnia, a lack of a sense of self, and some physical ailments as well.

I remember meeting my friend, and he showed me how to do the "chop" (Psychological Reversal). He told me I was going to need it a lot. It turned out later to be very true, as my self-esteem was low and I was beating up on myself. I felt very much like a victim... click for more

Lorine - Waitress How I ended up meeting Luis was, I had heard him talk on the radio about two or two and a half years ago. So I called, and I got a flyer sent. It was very interesting. I've always been interested in Tibetan medicine and eastern types of work, instead of just conventional. I put the flyer aside, and I put it in the drawer for about a year or so, and then I started going to see a psychotherapist. And it just didn't feel right. I went about five sessions and I said this isn't working for me, and I remembered the flyer. I went and I got it out of my files, and I called [Luis] up and I talked with him on the phone. And I knew this is what I was looking for, and that's how I got an appointment with him. That's how I started... click for more

Kelly - Woman It seems like lifetimes ago when I first went to see Luis. I had seen other very good healers. It would get help, but nothing that seemed to get to the root of my problem.

I had a number of symptoms, but mostly what they centered around was a basic inability to move in my artwork and past certain traumatic experiences I had undergone... click for more

Katherine - Health Practitioner Interviewer: Why did you originally come to see Luis; what made you call him?

Katherine: Well actually, I wanted to know more about Eckhart Tolle's work and a friend that I had met invited me to attend a group -- one of the Monday night groups [Power of Now] -- and I originally went for that purpose.

Interviewer: Thank you. Did you have any particular problem or symptoms that perhaps prompted you to set up a session with him?

Katherine: Yes, I've had chronic problems in the pelvic area without a lot of resolution. I have been in medical treatment -- the medical model -- and not getting much relief... click for more
