What workshop participants say about Laura...

"Consolidates pertinent material from a variety of sources (Artist's Way, Natalie Goldberg, Journal guides, all kinds of inspirational music to journal and free write, etc.)."  Eric Saig, Chelsea, MI

"Encouraging, enthusiastic attitude-encouraging each person in the class…I'm liking it a lot"   Judy Cason, Brighton, MI

"Informal discussions that help…with no particular agenda…let's us walk our own path in our own feet."   Brenden

"Excellent depth of knowledge on music and songwriting: provides basis for ability to both ask and answer questions well. Very good preparation for class; it's taught with high intention and integrity."
                                                         Alan Saers, Ann Arbor,MI

"Bringing in a song assignment is making me aware of the techniques and connecting them with what we're reading and learning about. Makes it real and inspires me!"
                                              Laura E, Ann Arbor, MI

"Shares personal story. Laura, you made the group environment such a welcoming, warm place to be, without that learning new perspectives and ways to process things would be much more difficult, if not impossible."

"You have created a very open atmosphere where I feel I can be open and say what I need to say. There just are no limitations here." Melissa E., Ann Arbor, MI

"Laura is very approachable and supportive. She presents as a student/teacher - a great combination!"

"Her eagerness and excitement over the material is contagious! She lets us all share with the group our struggles, our attempts and our successes." Sue Guinee, Ypsilanti, MI

"Allows us to follow some tangents/go with the flow on conversation and at the same time can facilitate the group and keep us on track without feeling intrusive."
                                                            Katrina R., Ypsilanti, MI

"My son has really come out of his shell. He has gone from not wanting to be seen on stage to being Harry Potter in the play. Now he is in the choir in his new school that travels all over the state. This confidence has crossed over into other areas as well. He rebounds from "ribbings" much faster now. Thank you Laura for giving him a gift, which we could not. I always knew there was something deep inside David that needed a way out and I think you helped him find that path."
                                                   Tracy M., Ft. Wayne, Indiana
