Giulietta and Cheryl are a great tag team for a lot of fun, inspiring, and practical advice. It's like a little kick in the pants!

Giulietta, I really enjoyed your "Overcoming Your Business Fears" life shop. I really appreciate how you skillfully and humorously guide us around the touchy issues we all feel alone in, but that are really so common to everyone's experience. You provide a sense of safety for us to reveal, even to ourselves, what's holding us back, while at the same time playfully encouraging boldness at every turn!
I look forward to progressing to the "Now That You've Overcome your Business Fears, What are You Going to Do with All that Brilliance and Extra Cash?" life shop :-)Barbara Kessler, improv actress, producer, singer-songwriter

I hired Giulietta to review and help reinvent an essay I was completely lost with. She gave me intelligent, sensitive, frank, creative ways of not only re-imagining the essay, but also gave me several spin-off ideas to work with. Lots of detail, encouragement, positive energy. I highly recommend her!!"

Life Shop morning with Cheryl’s intuitive poetry suggestions, readings and experiences gave meaning to how to honor our wild and precious life. Giulietta’s insightful sharing of artful tokens, cards to inspire inner curiosity, were part of a clear, well-organized outline for discovering that writer-someone in all of us.

What a refreshingly open and nonjudgmental experience! I felt so comfortable sharing the quirks of my life and the feedback and advice I received in return has stayed with me over the last few weeks ~ I have already started incorporating some of the ideas I learned from the group into my day to day life. Thank you for a wonderful workshop!

The Step Into Your Greatness & Make Your Own Economy life shop was unique. The intimate size of the group enabled us to be open about our life goals and dreams without feeling intimidated. The approach, while organized, offered many opportunities to digress and play. Since the class ended, I’ve been jotting down random ideas for making my own economy, feeling ready at all times for my genius to flow!
The insights I gained in the life shop and from Giulietta’s follow-up letter have helped me make changes in the way I approach teaching and making art. I want to allow my students and myself more time for exploring different options.Doro Simone

Giulietta is a true Muse! I took her personal essay writing life shop and was flooded with both inspiration and hands-on advice. She primed my creative pump, helping me look fear in the face and say, “I can!” I left her life shop not just encouraged but emboldened.

You definitely inspired me to expand my thinking by removing limiting self-doubts, and identifying and taking the first steps towards goals that seemed too lofty or out of reach prior to your session. You effectively led the session in such a way that I was quickly comfortable sharing my inner-most doubts and dreams. Thank you for helping me to expand my horizons and “think milky-way big.“

I want to thank you for your “Milky-way Big Thinking” life shop. It gave me courage to voice my deepest desires, and to realize that they are within my grasp. Through the exercises was also able reconnect with a strength I had been overlooking, and that may be an integral part of realizing my goals. Thank you for shining a light on it.

Giulietta’s essay writing workshop was the highlight of my summer, partly because I wanted to take a workshop like this was for years and partly because she made it so rewarding. Giulietta creates intimate sessions with abundant encouragement, story examples, lists of resources, and time to read and critique each other’s work. She thoughtfully guides each student and creates a rich and exciting atmosphere for sharing ideas and life stories. Once you take her workshop, you won’t want to stop connecting with others in this deep way and writing more stories.

Giulietta's "Overcoming Your Creative Fear" workshop was amazing. Afterwards, I went straignt to a karaoke venue and sang my heart out to a Beatles tune. Thank you for facilitating such a thrilling kick-start to face my singing fears, take them on and finally burst into song!
