Testimonials

After my first spiritual coaching session I felt more understood, focused and motivated to move forward. Rav Johnny helped me to create a small enough realistic goal to get started and has continued to be a calm, supportive and empowering force who sees the best in me and what I'm capable of achieving. His altruistic humility is a rare gift.

I reached out to Rabbi Johnny as I was looking for specific guidance in a very personal sensitive halachic area. I was not only blown away by his rabbinical competence but I was overwhelmed by his humanity. Rabbi Johnny has such a unique and special way of helping people with complex contemporary halachic and personal issues. I’m so appreciative to have Rabbi Johnny in my life.

Rav Johnny is very easy to talk to, patient and explains the issues being discussed clearly and concisely. It is wonderful to find someone that is approachable and non-judgmental and provides clear guidance and answers. Thank you, Rav Johnny.

I left my coaching session with a lighter heart, and a greater insight into my life as it stands now. I am ever grateful I had the courage to book myself in for a spiritual coaching session - it was completely worthwhile & transformative. Rav Johnny is an empathetic and insightful coach that gives you the space and encouragement to consider yourself and your life in a wholesome and holistic manner - something which I deeply needed.

Within one hour, Rav Johnny was able to listen to my concerns, reframe them in highly insightful ways, and provide me with a new perspective. I am amazed that he was able to accomplish this in such a short time, and would highly recommend that people who are looking for intellectually honest, insightful, source-based coaching turn to Rav Johnny.

My entire adult life has been a balancing act between halacha and mental health. Somehow, in just an hour, Rav Johnny was able to hear and understand where I was coming from, validate that there really was a basis for asking the questions I was asking, provide me with halachic guidance and sourcing, and help me see that there is an appropriate and acceptable way to balance halacha and health without the need for either compromise or guilt. Our conversation gave me the tools to reframe my approach to mental health and Torah observance and, for the first time I can recall, see them in a positive light.

Rav Johnny, I can never thank you enough. In what was probably just a part of a regular day for you you tackled over 20 years of trauma, harmful advice given by well-meaning rabbanim and educators who simply lacked a nuanced understanding of mental health, and accumulated resentment, frustration, and helplessness. I am not articulate enough to put the shift in my mindset into words or properly express how your empathy and guidance impacted me, but I genuinely believe our conversation was a turning point in changing my life for the better in so many ways.

Rabbi Johnny has a unique talent where he sees the person beyond the halachic matter at hand, and with a warm and caring heart, sensitively handles the topic. I finished our session with a feeling of being heard, understood and guided.

Thank you very much for your assistance and guidance over the last few months as we worked through these sensitive issues. Your insights and direction will provide a solid framework to help us successfully address the multitude of challenges and opportunities we are likely to encounter going forward. It has truly been a pleasure working with someone that not only thoroughly understands these matters, but is extremely knowledgeable on Halacha and able to be empathetic when communicating with everyone involved.
