Jasmin, I wanted to let you know that I consider you an amazing person and someone who truly impacted my life in arguably one of the most significant and positive ways yet. It’s an incredible thing you’re doing being you, and you’ll never quite imagine how many lives you’ve touched or will touch through your genuineness and acceptance. Thank you Jasmin, really, thank you.

Jasmin’s story of triumph and her mother’s legacy helped me tap into a source of strength that I didn’t know I possessed – especially when I’m feeling less energetic or patient with my kids. The anecdotes and examples she shared are wonderfully broken down into manageable “bite size pieces” that feel very clear and simple. Most of all, when I feel “mommy guilt”, I remind myself of Jasmin’s words that mothering is a very hard job and that quality of presence is the most valuable gift I can ever give my family.

I became aware of this author from her speaking engagements and podcasts interviews, and figured it was time to get her book. Since I am a huge fan of Eckhart Tolle, and I knew that she was too, I was curious how this Columbia University trained psychotherapist was going to integrate her spiritual background & studies of consciousness with her psychological training. I was extremely impressed with how she mapped out a clear road map of the inner experience. I realized things about myself that I never realized before, and got new strategies that I had never considered.

Beautifully written with raw emotional content and practical lessons aimed to encourage any parent who wants to be the best version of themselves. As Jasmin puts it, “it’s okay not to know what to do.”  Letting go of that control, knowing that every day is going to be different, and that is okay, is such an important theme for all mothers and one that has empowered me as I learn alongside my three children. Refreshingly honest and inspiring, Extraordinary Mommy is a must-read.

Wow- what an amazing read…..if you want to start feeling more in control of your life, and more specifically your mental well being, I highly recommend this book…

Unlike so many other “self-help” books, this one really has a way of breaking down really complicated concepts into smaller, more digestible bits of information. I especially loved the takeaways and steps for action that the author put at the end of each chapter.

This book gave me hope….it really opened my eyes to the power we have in creating the life we want. I am so eager to utilize some of these tools on my journey towards my own mental and emotional well-being!

What I love most about this guide is that it validates the thoughts and fears of a mom. Through the loving examples, I felt empowered through the daily challenges and emotional struggles of being a care-giver. I found the strategies to be practical to digest and implement. Being a mom is the most important job indeed; I’m thrilled to have this bible at my fingertips.

Jasmin is one of the most unique people I have ever encountered. She emanates warmth and goodness, and has been a source of wisdom, support, and love in my life. She has an innate ability to objectively evaluate any circumstance and give guidance in the most positive light. This has helped me through many life situations and allowed me to attain a higher level of inner peace and love.

Extraordinary Mommy is filled with wise, helpful, and perhaps most importantly, totally doable practices for mothers. Jasmin offers easy-to-use tools and strategies for real-life moms needing peace, calm, and centering—along with a dash of compassion comes from her own experiences as both a mom and a therapist. This is an excellent and much needed book. I’m so grateful Jasmin wrote this easy to read guide!

What I find so valuable about my sessions with Jasmin is simply the ‘space’ that she creates and allows – space to get emotional, space to reflect, space to “go there” and simply just space to BE, to feel, to breathe, to exist as you are in that moment. She does all of that without ever making you feel judged or reprimanded, and she’s excellent at cutting through all of the mental static to hone in on what’s really at the heart of things.

I started seeing Jasmin during a particularly challenging period in my life. After countless therapists, Jasmin was the first to challenge me, and teach me how to support myself. She does not look at you as a “case,” but as an individual. I have never felt like it was worth my time to go to therapy, until I started seeing Jasmin. I have infinite appreciation and respect for her as a therapist, and would recommend her to everyone.

This book has helped me shift my perspective when I am feeling impatient or frustrated with my kids. The two simple phrases, “At least” and “I get to” are my quick reminders to be grateful. For example, “At least we are all healthy…or I get to deal with my daughters’ backtalk because I am blessed with healthy daughters who have preferences.”  I recommend this book to moms of all ages. Its format is easy to read, with succinct summary points at the end of each chapter for a quick review. If you are looking to create fulfilling, mutually respectful, and loving relationships with your children, this book is a MUST read.

Having never seen a therapist, I truly did not know what to expect. I did not expect to find the warm, generous, compassionate, fun and engaging Jasmin. She helped me navigate the inner depths of my soul. She’s a constant source of inspiration and you do not feel like a “case” or something to be fixed. I gave Jasmin much resistance when I first started and she stuck it out with me with patience, care and a constant smile. I so look forward to my sessions. I do spinning as a workout for my body; Jasmin is a workout for mind and soul.

Jasmin, you were the best therapist I’ve ever had the honor of working with. I’m so grateful for your help in getting me out of the “stories” that I was telling myself. You’re a great listener and one who also offers fantastic advice. Although I always knew you were my therapist, and you always acted like one, I looked forwards to the weekly sessions and thought of our time together as talking to a wise friend rather than “just” a therapist 🙂

I have shared more with Jasmin and gained more from her then anyone in my life. She is a gift. Wise beyond her years, determined to know and love herself and others… it is her compassion and desire to be good to people that shines forth in her radiant smile. Her glow is contagious, and what a joy it is to rest in her presence.

As an entrepreneur, passionate about both my career and parenthood, I wanted to learn ways to be an amazing mom while balancing my business. Extraordinary Mommy helped me feel confident in my ability to parent the way that I believe is best for my family. It gave me useful tools for how to approach our life as new parents. For example, now I allocate “work” or “family” time and put my phone on silent when I’m with my daughter, so that the time I spend with her is of the utmost quality. I also prioritize my own well-being without guilt. I read so many useful passages to my husband that whenever a new issue arises he says, “What does the book say about that!?”

I have been seeing Jasmin for a couple of months now and am so glad that I found her. Jasmin has a unique approach that promotes an extremely positive experience, and I am learning so much through our amazing conversations. She creates a loving, caring, and non-judgmental environment where I feel safe to explore things that I have been afraid of for years. I am learning to accept and love myself for the first time in my life. Jasmin is an inspiration.

I’ve been in and out of “therapy” for over 30 years. I am also on a “cocktail” of drugs for bi-polar disorder and a recovering Alcoholic and Compulsive Overeater. It took me a long time to find someone who could balance the various sides of my issues and perspectives on life with intelligence, compassion, insight and creativity. Working with Jasmin has made a huge difference in my life.

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and all the sudden we are faced with challenging emotions. This book will allow you to navigate your emotions more effectively while also recognizing the value you have as an individual.

I have been working with Jasmin for over five years and to say that she has changed my life is an understatement. She came into my life with such humility and ease that it was impossible to deny that the universe had brought us together. She has made me realize that I have the power to change my life. I recommend her guidance to anyone who is seeking some new way to see themselves and life.

Jasmin’s effortless charm and profound insights infuse every page of this incredible little gem of a book. She somehow manages to both comfort and challenge the reader in every single chapter. I especially love her focus on self-care and the tools she provides to combat the drama and overload of modern parenting. I’m glad I didn’t let the “Mommy” focus dissuade me. Be prepared to be inspired!
