TESTIMONIALS
Caylie is absolutely amazing! She is empathetic and kind and intelligent. I found this workshop to be so inspiring and powerful and am so grateful to have experienced this workshop. Please put more workshops on!
Caylie is an amazing presenter with amazing knowledge. Can we have more of these types of workshops? I loved this!
My name is Susan. I attended your program over the weekend with my nieces. It was incredible, we absolutely loved it! Thanks again for all your time and energy.
This workshop was professionally run and I enjoyed how it was interactive with several activities throughout. This event being online meant that I could have all of my notebooks, pens and pencils at my disposal without having to bring them all with me to a location. I found it beneficial and I now have several ideas of things I can incorporate into my personal and professional practices.
This event leaves you with mixed feelings... its full of warm and vulnerability... but it also gives you strength to stand up and face the world. Whatever you are facing remember to also look around and help the others that suffer... always be kind. If it’s possible I would love Caylie’s email to thank her personally.
Caylie is an excellent writer who has delivered a thoughtful and powerful workshop that provided us with good techniques and inspired us to write to express our feelings and help deal with strong emotions. Her positive listening and support encouraged everyone in the room to express themselves without feeling being judged. Please arrange more workshops with Caylie. We’d love to have her back.
This was a very empowering and uplifting session. Caylie, as a presenter, was truly authentic and genuine. She gave us wonderful ideas and made it so anyone could do it. I wish there could be a part 2!!
