“Tricia has a gift of making people feel seen, heard, and encouraged. Her communication style is warm, clear and motivating, like a good friend, who also happens to know her craft inside and out. The course content is fun, approachable, and thoughtfully structured. She's gonna push you alright, but to be a better version of yourself. You can tell she truly cares about helping people grow. Tricia brings genuine energy and presence that makes the real difference. I highly recommend working with her.”

-Julius Nuñez, Becton Dickinson

“Tricia helped me view my fear of public speaking from an entirely new perspective. Using science, facts, and a little bit of exposure therapy in a safe environment she instilled a belief that one day I would be able to express myself clearly and with confidence. I will definitely attend future classes!”

-Ann Clifford, Realtor
