TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST GROUP PARTICIPANTS…
“Sydney brings her genuinely warm and enthusiastic approach to her work and teaching. She takes care to create a relaxed and supportive environment, encouraging group members to participate fully in the growth process should they so choose. Our particular group was highly interactive. A very real sense of camaraderie developed among the members as we began sharing our parenting challenges. Drawing upon her background in psychology, guidance counseling, and experience as a mother herself, Sydney provided valuable insight and guidance as we explored potential solutions to our challenges. Everyone was able to leave each meeting with practical strategies to try at home. Personally, I found that the implementation of these strategies brought about immediate – and very positive – results! Sydney is a knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate person and professional. I would highly recommend participation in any group or class that she chooses to facilitate.” - Kim G.
“I participated in Sydney’s “Get your Groove Back” group workshop in January 2010. She expertly facilitated the group, helping each of us identify the areas in our career or personal lives that we wanted to evolve. As a result of Sydney’s coaching, I validated how important it is to devote time to reflect on my life’s desires and apply specific actions to make fulfilling life changes. I value the time I spent with her and am inspired by her intuition, professionalism and drive.” - Laura I.
