My 3.5 year old daughter was a non swimmer, and after just 6 lessons she is floating for 10 seconds on her own and swimming 4-5 feet! My 6 year old son was swimming prior to meeting Cyrus but his skills have greatly improved. He wasn't using his arms much; now after just 6 lessons he is swimming the freestyle, and learning back stroke, breast stroke, and the butterfly. I couldn't be more pleased with their progress thanks to Cyrus. I highly recommend him.

We had a venue change during our planning and she supported those steps with kindness and efficiency. Our day was beyond perfect because of her. Above and beyond anything we could have imagined from a planner.

I got married in May 2023 and hired Kim to assist. She is responsive at the start, says all the…read moreright things when she's trying to get you to sign a contract with her. After that, it goes downhill - but that is precisely when it matters most. She didn't really help me throughout the planning process and wasn't proactive in asking me what I needed and what holes needed to be filled the months leading up to the wedding. Her package says it's month of coordination (or maybe she even refers to it as partial planning, which it definitely is not) but it's truly just day of. Her assistant was slow and she and Kim couldn't find stuff on the day of even though I had labeled all of the items and boxes clearly. She does the bare minimum and for what she charges, it is simply not worth it. If I hadn't been so organized and on top of it, I know my wedding wouldn't have gone well. *The month before our wedding, she acted super erratic on the day of our venue logistics meeting/walkthrough/tasting, talking very fast and way too much about random things totally unrelated to our wedding. It was like she was there to have fun and eat/drink as a guest rather than to be helping us take care of important business. We were embarrassed and uncomfortable by her behavior but I told my husband not to rock the boat because we had already signed a contract with her and I didn't want it to affect our wedding day. I kept having to redirect her to stay on task. She also kept talking about other couples she was working with and how she was annoyed with them changing their wedding plans by moving up their wedding date. I don't know why our wedding planner would be talking about that during our meeting. I had to do the same thing of keeping her on task during our actual rehearsal, because we needed to stay on schedule to get to our rehearsal dinner venue on time. She just kept chatting like she had all the time in the world. This seems like a pattern with her. Plain and simple, I should not have to follow up with and manage someone who has been hired to help me do that. *A week or so before our wedding I emailed her with some updates/questions and it took a week to respond. I understand she is probably busy but I didn't feel like she prioritized our wedding in general. If a key component of your work is communicating and liaising with your clients, especially when there are only days remaining before their big day, you should respond quicker than three business days, which is what she says her response time is. That's too long IMO especially for time sensitive matters. *Kim never obtained/provided the room or ceremony lawn layout and asked at the actual rehearsal for the wedding how I wanted the tables in the ballrooms arranged. It is unbelievable that she only thought to ask this important question less than one day before the wedding. This is pretty standard for what planners provide - in fact they often provide renderings/AutoCAD floorplans. She does neither. Again, something I had to do myself. *Our dog was in the ceremony. I told her who was responsible for picking him up and taking him to our place after the ceremony, and provided her name and number. Kim didn't pick up her call. When she told Kim she called, Kim said "oh that was you? I don't pick up numbers from different area codes." Okay, but I Iiterally provided this person's first and last name and her number beforehand to avoid this situation. Other vendors working our wedding said they tried to call her multiple times that day and she didn't pick up. That is super disappointing to hear. She also didn't pick up my calls! *She has a few rentals but I feel the pricing is misleading. She only told me after I agreed to rent chargers from her that there was a "$10 cleaning fee." It's not about the $10. It's about transparently including that info in her materials. I felt like she pulled a bait and switch over a few things she did related to the petty cash amount (that she requires). Overall I felt like she nickel and dimes clients to do things she should include as part of her services. The services she provides for the price are super bare bones. *She also did/said things that I felt were unprofessional like she made references multiple times to us being Jewish/referencing a chuppah (which we did not have) despite knowing we weren't Jewish. One time, okay, you can chalk it up to a mistake or some sort of confusion. But multiple times? I don't know what she meant by this--it made me feel like she didn't care and/or didn't even know how to tell her couples apart. She also made multiple spelling errors/typos in her master timeline document that I had to correct. The wedding is now over but the final timeline still has some spelling errors. These are a few examples of things that she did that I felt shows she did not care about us, our wedding, and how she just did the bare minimum for a very high price (not worth it!)

My work with Dana during my first pregnancy has been exceptionally healing. After spending years in…read moretraditional talk therapy and finally hitting a wall, I was looking for a somatic healer. While doing inner child work on my own during the pandemic- I could feel that there was embodied trauma that I wasn't able to move through from my own childhood and birth. I knew I wanted to deepen the process of healing before my daughter was born, and Dana was a perfect fit for this. Her use of Reiki and Somatic work allowed me to access and communicate with my inner child in ways that I didn't think were possible. My work with her has been a beautiful healing process, and I was even able to communicate and receive messages from my unborn daughter in our sessions- which was such a blessing, and offered me a newfound sense of trust in my process with her. As I near the end of my pregnancy, I feel so much more settled and at ease knowing that I've done this deep work for both myself and for my daughter. Dana is true light worker, and I'm so grateful I found her.

At the start of our lesson, we did a warm-up/stretches to make sure our body was ready before surfing. Then, we reviewed how to get up on the board and balance/positioning techniques. I asked a lot of questions on surfing etiquette, conditions, safety getting out, etc. and Dan was helpful in answering all of them. I liked us progressive way of teaching as the lesson went in and my skills/confidence improved. We took a little break as I got tired and the waves got a big bigger (since I feel more comfy on smaller waves)...and then went back out to catch a few more.

We live in Las Flores Canyon near the campus and we have watched in amazement and awe as this magical epicenter of love and support has enlivened our local community and been a connecting link in bringing together families with like minded awareness. The teachers and directors are some of the most lovely and heart centered people on the planet. They see our daughter for who she is, and have been an enormous help in guiding her spirit into the most beautiful expression of her instincts and interests. I am very particular about clean food and it's such a relief knowing that they only serve organic food and snacks! They take care to be very respectful of dietary restrictions and the special needs of each unique child- it's such a huge blessing and absolute requirement for me. The teachers have each shared such sacred wisdom with me about each developmental stage, and I continue to learn so much from them. Anytime I have questions they always take the time to help guide me toward more understanding and grace with my child. It really means the world to me to have this beautiful support in this conscious community. One of our deepest desires and highlights of parenthood is providing the absolute best for our children to enable them to flourish and grow in the most harmonious and conscious way possible. During the first parent meeting this year we all sat in a circle and expressed how incredibly grateful we each are that this sacred space still exists in this world, and we all wished that we would have had the opportunity to attend such a delightful school when we were young. It's truly and honor and great privilege to have found this treasure nestled under the ancient oaks and so close to home in so many ways.
