Our Clients' Testimonies

"Alyssa is understanding and insightful. The exercises she came up with helped us better understand the differences in our communication style as well as our values, and how to work through those differences. She knows how to get to the root of the issue and ask the hard questions. I cannot recommend Alyssa enough."

Previous Couples Therapy Client

‘After connecting with Tawn on Instagram for a number of months and resonating with her content and perspectives, she seemed like the perfect person to help me with establishing a schedule and approach to manage the multiple facets of my life: parenting, working for an employer, taking a certification course and taking time for myself. After completing the program, I left with a custom schedule that I could adhere to and even recently edited that schedule with the changes in my life. Tawn really listens and works with you to come up with a solution to detangle the lack of organization in your mind and translate it to paper so you don't forget and so that it can easily be reworked with the changes that come through life. I'd recommend anyone serious about making changes in their life to work with Tawn.’
