“I have been very pleased with the accomplishments (personal and professional) I have made over a short time and I thank Jaya for helping me along the way. She helped me see the value in my practice and the best areas to make it grow. I will be going on maternity leave and still have some sources of income. I also feel that with Jaya's help, my business will continue to grow and evolve during my leave, to blossom even larger when I return. Jaya has helped me to clarify my goals, set a plan of action and hold me accountable for its implementation and completion. In short, she's been part coach, part consultant, and part counselor and friend all while being a true professional.”

"I have signed up for intensive coaching sessions with Jaya mostly for the purpose of learning how to re-brand my healing services. From the beginning of the conversation, I felt really confident in her experience and expertise in the field of healing. I particularly appreciated her precise suggestions and comments based on her long-term experience. As a business coach, she helped me evaluate my services and re-brand them. It was such a breakthrough process to me... I learned so much from Jaya. Thanks to her strong leading role as a coach, I was extremely motivated and was able to achieve the results more than I expected!"

“Jaya has this remarkable gift for offering simple yet amazingly profound insights and advice. Virtually every session I had with her resulted in a breakthrough of one sort or another. Seriously, every session! She zeroes in on problems/situations and offers solutions that work for YOU - no cookie cutter stuff here. And if that's not enough, she is incredibly intuitive and can instantly tell whether something is right or not. There were so many times where I said "yes" to a suggestion but she KNEW it wasn't right for me. So she would try another tack. Result? The ultimate (and correct) suggestion worked wonders, again accelerating my business and saving me tons of money in the process.
 
In my business I use a lot of metaphors, and one is definitely appropriate here. My business is like a boat and Jaya is at the rudder. She keeps me on course yet will make corrections in direction as necessary, never wavering from the ultimate goal of the journey.”

“Jaya has been a great inspiration to me personally and to my business. Several times over the past 5 years I've hired her during transitional periods in my business. She is my go too person for the big shifts. Her intuitive insights have always been helpful in problem solving for me. I tend to hire Jaya when I'm at a crossroads and want a level headed savvy business coach with a creative intuitive heart. She has helped instill confidence in myself and take me to the next level in my business. What I love about working with Jaya is her kind gentle way to deal with hard issues. Her authentic caring helps me know that advice is offered from the head and heart. Her uncanny ability to shift from helpful tips in admin and financial systems to a brainstorming marketing PR session is so beneficial for an entrepreneur. I learn so much from Jaya. I definitely recommend Inspiration Inc.”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Jaya is. When I met her I was struggling, overwhelmed and stressed out being a new Day Spa owner. Jaya really "got me" on many levels and helped me see that there was another option for me that I hadn’t considered and that fit me better. She also supported me through some very rough times and difficult transitions in my business and helped me clarify my business direction so that it truly matches me as an individual. She was essential in helping me make the transition from being a Day Spa (which although it had always been my dream, didn’t fit my personality style and life goals) to being a high end solo esthetician. She helped me see it was a better match for me and helped me let go of ego attachments I had to being "big". For me, smaller is better. She also helped me look realistically at my finances and re-evaluate my spending. I have substantially reduced my expenses with her help.  Jaya's direction recently landed me in the right location and business model, and I am soooo much happier, pinch me! I highly recommend her for private coaching--go for it!

The return on the Power Up! Practitioners Business Course is almost immeasurable. My best day before, excluding Christmas gift certificates was $1200.00, but my average was about $500. With the new client interview technique, I have had six $1000 days—boosting my average to $700/800, and one day totaling nearly $3000.! For an esthetician in business just a little over a year, in a totally new location, with pricing in this area well-below metropolitan areas, that is nothing short of amazing!!!
 
And the client feedback is amazing as well. All have greatly appreciated the extra care and attention and gladly agreed to add-ons and entirely new product programs. One in particular stands out because she interrupted me mid-sentence and told me that she had been getting facials for nearly 20 years and never had anyone ask her the questions I asked or be such a "true professional" She now calls herself my "client for life," after only 3 sessions. She wanted to purchase all new products with her 10 session microderm package—she bought everything....I mean everything! I have noticed a really big difference between the new clients and prior ones and would love to know a graceful way to introduce this interview with
those clients. Most of all its been really rewarding to create such solid client relationships right away. The new clients have been telling all their friends and it wont be long before $1000 is a slow day.
 
I must also give a plug and thank you for Jaya’s Inspirational Days & Nights CD. Since I don’t have time to actually put aside to listen to it, I made a compromise. I listen to it in the car on my way to and from the shop. It gets me focused by the time I get there and helps me unwind on the drive home. Its been a great tool for me to get really clear on what I need to do that day other than seeing clients and helps me to let go of "The List" of things to do in my head. Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective.”

“I appreciate my coach (Jaya Schillinger) for her knowledge of the realities of the industry, and the fact that she consistently has focused on the key behaviors that result in business improvement from both a financial and organizational standpoint. In a field where there are limited networking opportunities and often a pervasive “it’s lonely at the top” feeling her support has been invaluable.”

“Jaya, your perspective as a coach in which you bridge these two worlds of “healers” and “business” has been invaluable. I think you are a rare breed. At least I don’t meet many people who have such clarity and good sense and integrity in both areas. I believe the healing professions need the kind of healing that comes with your good sense and clarity about business. I came to the healing profession with my own personal baggage around the “money” side of business and how it shouldn’t be important or ever stand in the way of “helping” someone as well as not feeling like I deserve to get paid for what I do.  As a woman in a healing profession, without any experience running a business, I have needed the kinds of support and perspective and guidance you have been able to give me around this issue.  I trust your insights and integrity. Thanks for having my back all this time.

As my business consultant I have been able to count on you to give me the nuts and bolts of how to price my services, how to market as well as how to identify my patterns that don’t serve me and what to do to get out of them. You have done this with compassion and a sense of humor. You have also been very patient with me. I appreciate that as well.”

“How can I express what you’ve done for me? Makes my eyes fill with tears to think about it. I think one of the toughest parts being about being a solo entrepreneur is feeling like you’re alone in the journey. Every day there are new choices to be made, some of them could make or break your dream. At times that reality feels so heavy that you can’t make a move in any direction. I was at that place. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to even take another step. What Jaya did for me was to help me get out of my own way so I could see my own accomplishments. She helped me to define my vision so that the choices became easy. She dragged me kicking and clawing down the road of learning to write copy for my website—thank you Jaya.

Jaya has helped me to focus on the stuff that really matters and I’ve learned to let go of the things that simply weighed me down. My business is only a tiny part of who I am and it was taking over my life. I have a more healthy perspective and am starting to feel more balanced. My family thanks you.
 
Since this is an ongoing journey my friend I don’t feel like this is an ending or graduation. I will take what you’ve taught me and grow. When I’m ready I know you will be here for me.”

“My journey with Jaya started in May of 2006, a year ago in the middle of the night, as I had been asking for guidance during one of the biggest transition periods of my life. I found it when I came across Jaya’s website. I started by receiving her e-newsletters. I took a few months contemplating having a coach. I scheduled my complimentary coaching session in July. In 45 minutes she gave me hope, a resource to one of my biggest stumbling blocks and a great recommendation for a book. We connected instantly. I liked her style, she had a system, and she was intuitive. She gave me a great deal in one complimentary session. I knew I couldn’t hire her until I ended my current business relationship, but she gave me a few great tips and keys of how to get that accomplished. She was on my wish list for when that day came. I continued reading and using the information she sent on her e-newsletters.

 
I became the sole owner of my company November 1, 2006. I gave myself the gift of Jaya’s coaching on 12/24/2006 we began working together in January of 2007. It has been a great journey. She has coached me through re-naming my Spa, re-branding my business, creating new services, bringing in my private label skin care, creating a new web site, building a team of professionals to help me run my business. She helped me to see the bigger picture of my business which I knew I needed to do, but wasn’t sure how to cross over. We work very well intuitively. She suggested a name for my business that I had been thinking about for 4 months. She suggested books for me that spoke to my spirit and I have found very guiding. I have felt comfortable sharing my intuitions with her. Her coaching form keeps our sessions focused and productive. She is responsive to the e-mails and understands when I really need support. She coached me on self-care, which is an ongoing challenge as an entrepreneur, practitioner, mother, wife, and woman. I’ve just got done creating this entire new entity and I’m thinking about my five-year plan. She has sparked my fire, after a number of years of stagnation. Thank you Jaya, Our paths were meant to cross, and I am trusting that this is not the end, of our journey, only a rest on the path. You are more than a coach.”

Susie Raymond, Owner/Esthetician of White Sage Spa in Milwaukee, WI

“2006 started with Power-Up! (Practitioner's Business Course) and ended with a six figure gross for this solo esthetician! I set goals at Power Up! that I thought were ridiculous at the time. Especially the monetary goal I set.
 
Power Up! helped me not only achieve my monetary goals, it helped me achieve many personal goals.
 
My small business grossed six figures in 2006 which was a huge increase over the previous year. Since Power Up I have streamlined my business to three days a week and still doubled my personal service sales. I have fired clients who did not fit the practice I envisioned for myself and they still are happy because I found them somewhere that fit them better . I have gone to a referral only model and have a 75% retention rate on all new clients.
 
Power Up! rocks!!!!”

“I’m sure there are many of you who can relate to life changes. At mid-life, you take a good look at what you want out of the next half and re-evaluate. Suddenly it occurs to you that it’s your passion you want to pursue.

 

I kept thinking about my passion as a skin care specialist and licensed esthetician, and decided to follow my dream. So I bought a day spa business last year. It was a dream come true.

 

It was at that time that I started working with Jaya. I just feel she’s lifted my passion to a higher level. Over the last several months, I’ve been impressed by Jaya’s vast knowledge, coaching skills and keen insight into our industry. She’s taken great personal interest, and all of the advice she’s given me has been right on the mark.

 

The results validate this. My clientele is growing, I’m in the process of creating my own line of skin care products, I’ve added services, hired additional staff, and so much more. And it hasn’t even been a year since acquiring the business!”

The coaching experience was fun, challenging and exciting.  I felt completely nurtured and supported by someone who really understood my challenges.

 

I was amazed at the endless resources, solutions and ideas that you shared with a wonderfully abundant source of enthusiasm!

 

I loved my coaching experience with you and I feel proud of what I accomplished with your help.  Thank you so much!!”

“I could talk about that I now have a website and am consistently moving towards a more personally, creatively, and financially rewarding business while simultaneously being of increased benefit to society moving into the niche where I have the most to offer.  But I would rather get into the essence of some of the gifts that have come into my life since beginning to work with Jaya. 

Increased productivity without having to up the pace or work longer hours.  With the clarity of a Zen master guiding one back to the center when the various stuff that gets in the way surfaces blocking the ability to clearly see.  A combination of positive reinforcement with accurate and honest observations where what needs support is supported while what calls for challenge is challenged.  Clarification of the aspiration mutually supported with practical steps towards increased profitability that will allow a creative expression to support one’s day to day needs.  And most recently aiding in the process of facing, opening, and suffering through the inevitable loss of those one holds dear and loves and guiding one back to heart.   

 

When I think of whom Jaya is to me it is very clear that she is a coach, consultant, mentor, teacher, colleague, and friend whom I feel blessed to have in my life.”

“Jaya was instrumental in helping my practice when business has slowed.

“I wanted to update you on my first day back at the job (after the Power Up! For Management seminar.) I was a lot more confident then I thought and realized as soon as I got here that I was going to focus today on catching up with all the paperwork.  And throughout the week I would put myself in the back with all the therapists teaching everything that you both had taught me. 

 

I wanted to let you know that one of my therapists who has been very shy about putting herself out in the gym to meet people and promote herself.  I told her today to put the massage chair out that we just purchased a couple of weeks ago.  She brought it out (it was a very slow hour at the gym to put it out, and she still did) and within the hour she sold herself a client!  A lady came in and bought a series worth $500 and she also pre-booked all those appointments for the next 2 months with that therapist!  I was so proud of her and hugged her and she was just glowing!  It lifted her confidence as well as her paycheck!  It really does start with me, and my ability to give the push.  My confidence to feel like I am telling the employees the right thing to do, and that it will work, turns into the employee having confidence to go do something like that. Thank you so much again for everything!”

"I got a lot out of The Powered-Up! Front Desk class as an owner. I was going to send my front desk person but she had family obligations. I'm glad it worked out that I went and would recommend it to other owners as well. The class had a lot of good suggestions which I am going to implement ASAP. Also, I don't know about other owners but I always wonder "how do the big spas handle this situation?" Talking to some of the girls that are in this position gave me some insight into their front desk policies. Very interesting! It was good for me to step out of the esthetician world and into the "Front Desk" position. I might add too that it really helps to know that, as an owner, you're not alone in your endeavor. Thanks for a great class!"

“Jaya really cares about me achieving what I set out to achieve. She stays on me in a gentle but firm way to ensure that I stay on track. I struggled with this and she hung in there, constantly reminding me of the importance of creating a niche, putting it out there and staying focused on that! She would bust me when I needed busting in ways like sharing her intuition or cautioning me against something that she felt wasn’t going to serve me (in her gentle but firm way) and I always appreciated that!  She has a lot of business savvy for small business owners which was exactly what I was looking for. She also has a great sense of humor, as well as can meet me in the emotional arena. I think she’s great!”

Monica Wright, Nutritionist/Owner of Nutrition Savvy in San Anselmo, CA

“Very educational. The information was delivered well. The class gave me the confidence to fulfill my goals and it gave me the skill to be a more confident person. The education that I received has taken me to higher levels of greatness. Both Jaya and Douglas delivered the information in a well-organized and confident style. The role play was fun and informative. The text will be worshipped like a bible! Keep up the good work. I thank you for coming up with this program, so that I could get the knowledge to be a better professional.”

“I am so thankful to Jaya for the coaching she provided to me as I ventured into my own Personal Training business. Her vast knowledge of business in general, and the health and beauty industry specifically, was invaluable to me. She was able to provide me with tools and insight that were a perfect match for both my business and my personality, and steer me away from those that would not be profitable or comfortable for me. Being a generally shy person, the thought of networking and “selling” myself and my business was terrifying to me. Now I actually seek out opportunities to meet people and share my passion for fitness with them. I’m still not quite sure how Jaya managed it; the transition was so smooth and easy it felt like magic!”

"As a skin care salon owner, I am in constant search for ways to keep my estheticians educated. They love learning, as it keeps them inspired. But good classes are few and far between. I have my own skin care line, so it's not advantageous to send them to a class taught by a skin care company, as their push will be on their product line. So, it doesn't leave me with many options.

 

I sent three of my estheticians to the Power Up! class and boy, was it ever educational! This two day class taught them about what you really need to know to succeed in this business: the relationship you have with your client and how to make it the best it can be. Looking at this business from a true understanding of what the clients really want, versus what WE think they want, is a real eye opener, and Jaya Schillinger and Douglas Preston shed the light on it.

 

Giving the most advanced, most cutting-edge facial does not guarantee your success. But being taught the tools to connect with your clients is what it's all about. As Douglas Preston always says, "the one thing that your competition can't duplicate is the relationship you have with your client." And this class will show you the secrets. My estheticians got so much inspiration from this class and it was worth every penny! If you want to be truly successful, this class is a must!"

“Before I began working with Jaya, my business had slowed down and I was considering changing careers, even though I loved what I was doing. Jaya steered me in the right direction, lit a fire under me, and gave me the confidence I needed to do what I needed to rebuild my business. Now I am so successful that I sometimes have to put potential clients on a waiting list.”    

Kristen Crabtree, Fitness Business Owner in Mill Valley, California

“Jaya has been my life and business coach for the past several years. Since I have been consulting with Jaya I have been able to clarify my business goals and have streamlined my business plan. Jaya's coaching has saved me countless hours of ruminating over what I should do, whether my business decisions were good ones or not so good, and whether or not to take the plunge into areas that excited me but seemed to also be intimidating. Working with Jaya is like having a voice on your shoulder that says "You can do it", "it will work" or "this is not so good for you, but why don't you try..." and...her voice has always been right. Jaya has also helped me through a very difficult personal time in my life. It is comforting to know that she is in my corner.”

“I have had a great experience working with Jaya, and unlike other coaching I have had over the years, Jaya is very generous with her time. I have had several conversations via email where she provided me with answers that would have required me to contact several professionals. She has helped me to locate business tools on the Web and has helped me get my name onto other search engines…definitely over and above what I was to expect.  I have already crossed off several items on my original list and look forward to getting and keeping my life on track. I would recommend Jaya to anyone seeking to focus on their life more.”

“Thanks Jaya, you helped me take my business to the next level. I truly felt supported by you as you helped to create a safe space for me to grow as a practitioner and business person. I also appreciated that you were always 100% present during our sessions. You made work fun and at the same time kept me on track to achieve my goals. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and colleagues. I still listen to your Inspirational Days & Nights CD all the time.”

Years after working with Jaya, I find myself referring back to what I learned during the months I worked with her.

“Jaya came to our salon when we had just lost our salon coordinator who had been with us for 10 years...Jaya reorganized the whole of our front desk procedures to be more consistent and efficient. She took on almost every aspect of the salon’s management, all the while fully documenting every change or new, more streamlined procedure. Jaya’s knowledge & insight into the beauty industry is vast, and has a knack to quickly put her finger on a “weak spot” & offer various solutions and then implement them with a minimum of fuss. Her attributes of efficiency, reliability, and common sense allowed us to feel completely at ease.”

“Woo HOO! - That's how I feel about working with Jaya. She helped me get out of the procrastination rut by bringing out my own excitement over the things I want to do.

“I contracted with Jaya Schillinger for three months in 2004. She was an inspiring, insightful and professional coach, and was very valuable to me during the very early stages of planning my business, North Bay Eldercare Options.

Jaya is perceptive and intuitive, a very "present" listener, and wise beyond her years.  Her coaching felt very personalized to me - she does not use a "one-size-fits-all" style.  She has an ability to get to the heart of issues - all of our sessions felt very well spent and I never felt as though I was wasting money.  Jaya gave me some useful tools that I am still using, including being on the mailing list for her e-newsletters.”

"Jaya’s very caring and nonjudgmental approach makes it possible for me to stick out the journey of developing my own business. I am someone that has a very hard time believing in myself at times, and I give up. Working with Jaya, I can see the bigger picture and stay on track with what is important now, and not what other people are doing better than me. I recommend her to anyone that needs a coach and guide on their journey to success and happiness." 

Carola May, Aesthetician in Grass Valley, California

“Jaya has a friendly easy going way of easing answers out of you that you weren't aware were even there. Our coaching sessions assisted me in overcoming a blockage which before had been unmovable. Jaya's coaching helped me to pinpoint exactly what was distracting me from a more productive state and then worked with me on a step by step basis to replace that pattern with one that was more beneficial to me. As a result, I have increased confidence which enables me to seek out more business. I would highly recommend her coaching services to anyone who was serious about moving to the next level in their lives.”    

Kari K, Personal Assistant & Organizer in Tiburon, California

“Through positive inquiry Jaya has helped me bring forth my own decisions about what I need to do to create the life I want. Though I am navigating some major life changes and that's not always easy, after each session I notice feel clear and excited about my next steps. My confidence has been renewed.”

Candice Kollar, Creative Services Business Owner in San Francisco, California

“I honestly struggled with whether or not this was the right time for me to attend something like Power Up.  My business is brand new, so there’s not much left over money in my budget and just enough income to cover expenses at this point, but I can honestly say that making the investment in Power Up was the smartest decision I’ve made thus far. 

 

It was so easy to get caught up in all the choices and decisions that needed to be made when opening my solo practice (product line, equipment, decorating, business cards etc) that I sort of lost focus of why I’m really doing this and who I’m serving.  While all of that other stuff is important and necessary, what I learned from Power Up is to really tune in to who I am and what personal biases I bring to the table and then turn all of that energy outward and focus on the emotional connection with my client.  I now know that they most often won’t consciously realize that their motivation is emotional, but so long as I do, I can make them feel special and good about themselves.  I think the fact that I was a spa junkie prior to becoming an esthetician helped me focus on what I liked and didn’t like about the experience of being a client.  However, now I feel equipped to take that to a deeper level and make my clients never want to go any place else. I am very motivated by the nurturing component of my job, but I’m just as motivated by wanting to make money and I can see now that there really are no limits and I intend to never limit myself again. 

 

Thank you for a fabulous weekend and I look forward to working with you in the future.”

Michelle Krueger, Esthetician/Owner of SkinCare Solutions in Cedarburg, WI

“Jaya provided invaluable skills for helping me to develop my intuition, deepen my connection with the earth and my higher self, and increase my awareness of my personal energy centers (chakras).”

Catherine Scholz, Music Educator in Sacramento, California

“This experience has been validating & given me so much hope that I can experience joy. For about 2 years, my energy body has felt so full of knots that I have had a hard time really feeling anything anymore—except nervousness, depression, and blah. You’ve taught me so much, and I know my life has been blessed & touched in such a special way. Thank you.”

Alex B, Administrative Assistant in Novato, California

“What I learned from working with you on my dating issues was that it is “invaluable” to find out more about love and relationship by developing my capacity to use my own investigative energy with a lens of ‘unwavering yet forgiving” integrity…I was greatly assisted in this process by your visionary support, humor and suggestions…You provided through your wisdom, your psychic inspirations, and that little bit of witchy/bitchy edge, an important and vital integrity that was often in my face as I found myself in those all-too-frequent “slippery slopes,” yet the power of this true reflective, but non-judgmental feedback was dynamically and relentlessly effective.”

C.D. Personal Development Teacher in Fairfax, California

“I felt very struck that you were the first person I have ever known who can really see me as the being that I am.”

LG, Software Engineer in Alameda, California

"I have been able to be more independent.  I'm learning how to make good changes in my life rather that being afraid to follow my heart.  I had the courage to leave a relationship that was not good for me.  I have been able to deal with various medical conditions and crisis without losing my sanity. You’ve helped me to see past mistakes or patterns and make intelligent choices."

JJ, Kentfield, California

"Working this group aspect has been amazing. Not only are we learning about our own abilities, but more importantly, how we interact with each other. Jaya is an AMAZING and LOVING guide on this inner journey, as she teaches us how we all are blessed with these abilities, no one is better than anyone else. We are all on different paths to the same destination."

SS, San Francisco, California

"I want to thank you again. I sent several people to see you because of how clear and insightful you were…I have been inspired by your words and presence...I'm now fully ready, willing and committed to do my work.  I want to thank you for your inspirational words that night to me. They were the catalyst."

G, Fairfax, California

"I really enjoyed the workshop the other evening... I was quite amused with myself when it finally dawned on me to quit waiting for some revelation from you, because what you were offering was a way for me to give myself the message that I needed most...The entire thing self-validated for me - and I took the message that I need to move back towards work that fills me up instead of draining me completely.”

TW, San Francisco, California

“January 2005 was your best newsletter yet.  I especially could relate to the "Wrapping up the New Year" section as that is what I have also been realizing. Great, great newsletter!!! Truly inspirational. You mix business consciousness and spiritual consciousness in a very unique way as is evidenced on your CD and in your newsletter. Very positive, love based and prosperity minded. You are inspirational.”

KK, Tiburon CA

“I use Jaya's Inspirational Webhosting to host my internet site. Jaya was so kind to me and helped me along personally when I wasn't sure that I could build my own website. That was three years ago, and I can't imagine not being with Inspirational Webhosting.”
