“Thank goodness for Sarah.  She helped me prepare for a keynote address so that I felt prepared, calm, and centered for my speech.  With techniques drawn from a wide background in stage performance and Alexander technique training, she helped me in all aspects of my presentation, from breathing to using my voice effectively and even where to stand and how to move.  Thanks to Sarah, I received a standing ovation at the end!” Cathy C., Leadership Coach
