I had a guitar set up with these guys, and the setup was actually great so no complaint with that!…read moreHowever, they said they would contact me when it was finished which did not happen, and I wound up having to call them to find out it was done. Wouldn't have been any big deal except the interaction on the phone asking the tech about it felt defensive, like he felt I was accusing him, which I wasn't. Then I got to the store and asked the guy at checkout and got the same feeling. Like my statement about not getting a text was an unreasonable point. Anyway, an awkward interaction, BUT I got it, and all is good. I think it's best when dealing with customers to just try hard to assume best intentions. I somehow ended up feeling defensive by just commenting that I didn't get a text. Like "why didn't I get a text?" That's innocent, right? I think so. In their position I would have said "I'm really sorry about that. We sent a text, and it didn't go through. I hope it wasn't too much inconvenience." Boom, done. Anyway, this all seems so silly as I'm saying it, but it's honestly annoying to feel like I'm a problem when I don't think I did anything wrong. There are a lot of options out there, and customer service is quite important to me. In fact, I'd spend more for it. It's a niggle, but its important to me to feel welcomed.

I needed the tuning machines changed out on a hand built guitar (one had frozen up after 20 years)…read more I had a set held in reserve from a guitar I'd upgrade the tuners on years ago.

Ariella came into my life at just the right time…read more I went from being a "person who plays music" to a musician; and a "person who sings" to a singer. I. Am. A. Singer. I have learned, in my travels of becoming a musician - and I'm on a never-ending road - that confidence is of the utmost importance. I might argue the single most. From the girl who would have been to embarrassed to sing anything more than quietly at the campfire, today I have no qualms about being the soloist. Ariella is a part of that growth. Ariella is a fabulous cheerleader, a free spirit, a beautiful soul, who helped coach me to confidence.

My work with Ariella was life-changing. It had always felt excruciating to sing in front of other…read morepeople--whether in groups or solo--and I knew that it was related to being witnessed in my authentic voice, period, whether speaking or singing. My work with Ariella was a process of coming into my body and voice while being gently held and guided. It catalyzed a year-long process of coming more authentically into myself than ever before, and it all started through the seemingly small practices of vocal warm ups, call and response, or just making noises with my mouth.  Ariella talks about one of her roles as a coach and guide being to offer unconditional love, and I agree. To listen closely enough to one's body to hear the sounds or movements that want to be expressed and to say YES to them--in spite of whatever fear or shame or other barrier exists there--is an act of unconditional love of the self. To be witnessed and held in that process equally will forever change you. Ariella's approach is gentle and intuitive, yet powerful. I loved that she let the wild nature of the body and voice lead the way.  People love tangible outcomes, so here's what changed for me concretely: I joined a choir and sang in a public performance (this was right before the pandemic or else I'd still be singing in choirs), I feel soooo much more comfortable singing publicly, I began creating weekly videos for my coaching business that I posted publicly and actually enjoyed making them, and I began writing and performing stand up comedy publicly.
