"Felicia is such a great asset to our profession. She has just the right balance of structure and freedom in her class, she is very generous with her time and knowledge and knows how to maximize a group dynamic. I was in a place of overwhelming creativity, and she was just what I needed to figure out what my goals were and where I should focus. You have no idea how much you will accomplish when you have someone to be accountable to. It is like having a workout partner. You don't want to let them down, but in the end, it's you that gains!

Joanne Wright
"Before the class, I felt that my peers and folks who knew me thought this business was just something for me to fill the time/ mothers hours... and it was kinda true. But I really wanted to be thought of as a professional. Since [I took] this class and am really thinking about where I want to go and grow, my business has cleared the air and made me more confident. Now when I talk about my business, when someone asks, I tell them. My friends and clients are really happy and excited about the direction I am going. I am really feeling like I am - and am being seen as - a professional :-)

Felicia has helped us to feel proud of what we have accomplished and has seamlessly become a part of our team. Her organized sessions and follow-up keep us focused and accountable. She brings to the table her knowledge both as a spa owner who has personally experienced both failures and incredible successes. That experience, along with her work with other businesses like ours allow her to provide ideas and suggestions that are consistently on-target with what we are trying to accomplish and at times seem absolutely brilliant.”
