“Mica was great with M. After the session ended, I asked M how she felt and her face lit up with a big smile and she excitedly said “great!” She was very nervous to start, but she seemed much more confident and relaxed after the first session ended. She’s looking forward to next week! Thank you for offering weekend sessions!”
