Melissa, you have been and continue to be a golden catalyst for positive change in my life.

Renee Fukumoto

This course is amazing and things are changing in my life. It feels so good!

Astrid Menick

If someone would have told me three weeks ago, that I would be this contented with my life as it is now unfolding, I would not have believed them.

Charyll Newman

This program has given me a TON of confidence — more than my life coach and gym members were even able to give — and, believe me, they tried.

Ethel Watson

Melissa is not just an educator, she’s a warm-hearted, down-to-earth, honest, open, incredibly generous and unselfish, ‘live ‘n kickin’, long-distance friend who is genuinely in your corner; the mentor you’ve been searching for who is not only traveling along the same road as you, but who everyday is ‘walking her talk’ (so important…).

Val Kelly

Melissa, you are a gem! I am so happy I found you.

Liana Steinmetz

This course is changing me in deep, fiber-of-my-creative-bones ways… WOW! What a transformation in such a short time!

Mandy Thompson

Melissa I can’t tell you how important these classes are to me

Marilyn Mastine

Really enjoying your program and experiencing real change, I can hardly believe it yet as I felt stuck for so many years.
Thank you!

Michele Gauler

What an amazing and life changing class!! I am amazed every week. It gets better. Can’t quite believe that it could and it does.

Omaste Witkowski

This community is so supportive; it makes me braver and I like that.

Penne Tompkins

Thank you again Melissa. I cannot express how much I am getting out of this course.

Sarah Wherry

I’ve learned more from your classes in these 9 weeks than from seeing a psychologist for 24 years.

You see what is happening Melissa? All this stuff you teach makes me expand into being ME.

Sigrid Stuut

It is such a joy and comfort to be part of this creative community – so safe and nuturing. Thank you.

Stacy

The ability to enter this group with blind faith and trust that has not only been honored but supportive has just changed everything for me this week.

Sweetie Berry

Melissa is an awesome teacher and creativity instigator! I am being mentored by her (for over a year, now!), and it has made a HUGE difference in my own productivity, creativity, and willingness to share my work. I can’t recommend her enough!

Jessica Sanders

In a single session, I suspect you’ve changed my life! Before our session, I had so many fears that kept me from doing my art. Thanks to working with you, I feel permission to call myself an artist for the first time. Thank you so much! I am now your biggest fan!!!

Delores Rhodes

I just wanted to write to thank you again – how much confidence you have given me, in the last few months, but particularly in our strategy session, to strike out and believe in myself, and also not to suffer fools gladly! You are a real find. You really made me feel human again.

Sophia Tise

Melissa helps creative minds align their spark of energy with their inner passion.
She helps clarify one big overwhelming project to breaking down into possible and playful steps. Her specialty lies in coming up with ideas out of the box that I had never considered. So if you’re ready for a surprise and productive acceleration to add on to your ideas, she is the go to person.

Naomi Lancet

Good morning, I’m sitting outside drinking my coffee FINALLY have a chance to read Mabel cover to cover and DAMN girl, your article is brilliant. Between you and Christine Mason Miller I think you could write a book. These are such important words. Thank you for saying it exactly the way you did. For breaking it down into such simple, bite-sized chunks. I truly think this whole issue is one of the most important life-changing magazines any and every artist should own. I am blown away by the whole thing! Brava, and thank you.

Amy Tingle

Hey Melissa,

Just a quick note that I really appreciated and got a ton of value from your article on Tiny Buddha about developing thick skin and how to handle criticism. Historically, I’ve had a hard time actually identifying the fact that it really bothered me, and your article gave me a clear, helpful and valuable framework for handling it appropriately instead of going into ‘retreat mode’. Thanks a bunch and wish you the best!
