"After several community meetings where I felt my voice was unheard, Melinda guided me to present a better version of myself. I actually rehearsed my presentations with her, including the body language I wanted others to see. This made all the difference."

"Even with college degrees, I lacked confidence as a teacher. Melinda helped me identify the stress and fear I felt and with her support I began to enjoy being in the classroom."

"I was at a cross-roads in my work life. Compensation was great, fulfillment was not. Melinda helped me create and evaluate my pros and cons list as to whether I stay in my current position or open a new chapter. First she insisted that I see myself as a champion. Once I could do this I realized that my decision making was not as difficult as I thought. She broke down the various pieces of my dilemma. I continue to use her process when I have tough choices to make."

"Melinda was a guiding light during my son's turbulent pre-teen years when he didn't want to learn or participate in activities. Through her constant praise and positive communication, offering him responsibility, he eventually enjoyed what seemed to come easier to others."

“As a life-long Catholic I asked Rabbi Sam to help me address my faith issues in a non-judgemental way because I knew that he is also a man of faith. He shared his knowledge and experience which helped me resolve my issues and gave me the confidence to face my questions and doubts.”

“One of Rabbi Sam’s lessons for me is that I can’t solve all of my problems but I can face them with confidence...”

“There was a point in my life when I just felt stuck. Rabbi Sam helped me see the roadblocks and eventually through his advice and guidance I slowly got back on track.”

“When my Mother was dying, I couldn’t bear to imagine life without her, and it was weighing me down. Rabbi Sam guided me before she died and then continued through the weeks of the grieving process with encouragement and compassion which was comforting and healing.”
