One of the best workshops I have done!

Class was a very fun and informative experience. Also, the instructor was awesome! I had a great experience, although at the same time, I feel like we could’ve accomplished a little bit more within the 2 days.

Reviewed by Kristine K. on 12/1/2018

Sisa, the instructor, was very friendly, open and knowledgeable in her approach to the class. She seemlessly applied the students’ questions to the coursework she already established. Her patience and care was phenomenal. Very rare these days. I am grateful for the experience and feel more prepared to explore my next steps. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
