Testimonials

Working with Barbara was an absolute pleasure! It is clear she is an experienced listener, as she took adequate time to get to know me and understand my story. She guided me though her process and asked clarifying questions whenever necessary. The end result was a beautifully written piece, which I feel captured exactly what I was looking for in my speaker one sheet. Throughout the process, Barbara was always cognizant and respectful of my time and budget, which I greatly appreciated. I will most definitely be working with Barbara again and referring her to others!
