When we first met her, we knew she was the right person to help our son with his college application. She planned everything ahead and kept my son on track with all the application processes. She was always creative and shared new ideas from different aspects of the applications. She was tireless in her enthusiasm and generous with her time, especially during the holiday season. She gave my son the most considerable support. The competition is fierce for Asian male engineering students, and she helped my son create the strongest application possible. My son has already been accepted into an Ivy League university and another Top 10 University. She is an outstanding mentor - she works not just on the essay but on developing the potential of each of her students.

I am very grateful to have worked with Alice throughout the college application process!…read more Before I met Alice, I felt very unsure and stressed with deadlines, having gone through many different ideas/drafts for my essays. By asking specific questions and providing prompts for thinking, she helped bring my writing to life. In addition to providing advice/direction, she also always eased my stress and was a pleasure to talk with. With Alice's feedback, I was able present my best self to my colleges, helping me get accepted into my top choice school early.

Inspired by Marisa's dedication and encouragement, I once again began to write and meditate daily and reconnected to a creative flow that I was missing. I'm grateful for the rigor she brought to each meeting. In addition to the well planned arch of each class, and the workshop as a whole, Marisa did an incredible job of offering 4-5 writing practices between sessions to give us a range of options to keep us engaged. Two months after her workshop ended, I committed to writing a book and am drawing on material produced in her class. If you are looking for a teacher that integrates mindfulness and embodiment into the class exercises, you've found her. :)

Working with Marisa one-on-one was an exciting, clarifying, and empowering experience…read more The wonderful suggestions she made for strengthening my work were always preceded by a plethora of caring and well-thought-out observations of the good things already evident there. Her ideas also felt like they never limited my choices, but rather served to shine a light on different possible avenues I could take in my revisions and future projects. She pointed out what was well-written without sparing me the rigor of a professional-grade critique of how my underlying goals might be served even better. We clarified my goals and intentions together, in an atmosphere of trust and good will. I was struck by how Marisa flows from one point to the next during discussions--her mind moves in ways that are consistently smooth, smart, and profoundly respectful of the work. The way she approached my work (and myself as its author) made richly evident the skills she developed during her years as an MFA student at the prestigious University of Iowa Writing Workshops. Marisa helped me to tackle technically challenging structural and thematic dimensions of my work as well as managing to allow me simply to hear and to embrace my writing voice more fully. She offered suggestions of craft books to read that would further support my writing process. Without giving me inflated expectations, she inspired me to pursue an MFA of my own, which I begin this year! Moving forward in my writing life, I feel I have been blessed, empowered, and expertly guided toward greater growth, fulfillment, and success.

My daughter is not a naturally talented writer so she needs extra guidance and support. She thoroughly enjoys her sessions with Michaela and feels that she is patient, thoughtful, approachable, and provides great suggestions to improve her writing. My daughter's confidence is growing little by little, which is wonderful to see. Michaela has also gone the extra mile to read the books my daughter is analyzing and writing about in school, which I know not every tutor is willing to do. Highly recommend Michaela if you have a reluctant writer in your life that needs a little extra coaching and love!

I can highly recommend Nina Feldman Connections from the point of view of a service provider who…read morehas been referred to many clients over the past 15 years.

Jacob was a easy to work with, allowing me to suggest several edits from the original footage, and did exactly what I asked. He is a professional and reasonably priced.

Our photo-taking plan had fallen through on us, and being from LA, we didn't have access to many photographers in the Bay Area. Everyone we checked out fell short of our hopes. Then a college friend of mine referred us to Studio 7C. Dagi is as sweet, smart and personable as it comes, so I knew we were off to a great start. When we checked out her website, we were blown away by her style and attention to detail. We so thrilled when she agreed to work with us on super shot notice and a tight budget. We just got the photos back (only a few days after the shoot) and they're absolutely stunning. She is incredibly talented and her eye for design, composition and lighting is perfection. Even the editing is flawless. We couldn't be happier with the overall experience of working with Studio 7C and would highly recommend her for any creative services--it's obviously that she does everything with great care and polish. Thanks, Dagi! :)
