You gave me hope when I had lost a lot of it lately. Your expertise and the way you were able to break down the knowledge you have and keep a crowd engaged was admirable and priceless. I truly enjoyed myself.
Who would have thought I would laugh so much at a parent education presentation?!

That gave me a newfound feeling of confidence around this ever-changing issue; during these challenging times, that is priceless to me."
