Her father and I thoroughly researched the whole pepper spray scene. We all know of people who have their canisters and have simply taken an online or youtube class. That was not thorough enough for us. A 4-hour class was only $100, very well worth it. I got to watch, and my daughter was able to practice and hear of real-life scenarios from an expert who has been in numerous situations. She walked out of there today feeling very empowered. Like me, she may never have to use the spray in her entire life. But she feels that she has been well informed and prepared for so much more than she'd imagined. (She has watched some of the videos and say they don't prepare her as thoroughly as the class did.) We are going back to take the self-defense class together.

I entered a dispute with Mastercard only to be told they could not reverse the funds. So this company is rather dishonest and deceived folks when you purchase from them Buyer beware.

I'll start by saying that we were originally skeptical of getting a doula, but our sister in law…read moretalked us into giving it a try. Best. Decision. We. Ever. Made. We met with Tiffany and she was even able to win over my skeptical husband with her knowledge and professionalism. The fact that she ran an evidence based birth class was an added benefit that helped influence our decision to choose Tiffany as our doula. The class was fantastic! Not only was it informative and go more in-depth then most, but she also taught us how to find sound sources for information regarding various topics, procedures, and other concerns, so that we could make the best decisions for us and our situation. In short, the class was extremely empowering, particularly for first time parents. Now, when it came to her as a doula, she was a life saver! We had just moved to the area and had not met many people yet. Getting to know Tiffany and talking with her about the pregnancy, hopes, and fears helped make us considerably more comfortable with everything. And then Covid-19 hit in earnest and the lock down went into place. Pregnancy and birth are already full of unknowns and anxiety as is, with that, it skyrocketed. Tiffany, however, kept on top of everything, even with hospital and doctor's policies changing on a daily basis. With each and every change she would reach out to us to find a way to work with and around it. She even went above and beyond trying to work directly with the hospitals themselves to insure her ability to be present during the birth.  In the end, she did get to be there for my birth. I ended up suddenly and unexpectedly giving birth at home (we had planned a hospital birth). Somehow she managed to arrive just as the paramedics did. I won't lie, I was terrified. Seeing her face in the middle of all that chaos did wonders for me, helping me relax and focus on what needed to be done. She jumped right in and worked with the paramedics as if they had all been a birth team for years. Everything ended up going even more smoothly then could be expected under the circumstances, and I'm convinced it was because of her presence. I am now firmly of the belief that if you are pregnant, you should have a doula, whether it's your first or fifth. Somehow she becomes that trusted friend, a surrogate mother, and experienced professional who's solidly in your corner. We are so thankful that Tiffany was in ours.

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this place. I recently moved to Vancouver, Washington as a…read moreMaster Esthetician just graduating a 450 hour program of schooling. Fast forward a few months after moving I received a dream job offer at a medical spa that has a location in both Washington and Oregon meaning I needed my Certified Advanced Esthetic license with the state of Oregon to perform the treatments we offer at the spa. Unfortunately hours from Washington to Oregon don't completely have reciprocity between the two, which means I needed to work with a school to make up hours (a CAE license is 500 hours of schooling meaning I had to make up 50 hours). When I tell you I reached out to MULTIPLE schools in Oregon to try and find even a little help to point me in the right direction, Michele at the Advanced Esthetics Institute not only responded to me very quickly EAGER to help me, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that she could help me get my CAE license without any hesitation, and made me feel so comfortable coming to her with any questions regarding this situation. She truly was the only school/person that even seemed to want to help me so I am so so thankful for that - even though I live 2+ hours away from this school, I knew it would be worth every penny and mile to make up time to get my license. From the start, Michele and her employees were always so kind, timely, responsive, and truly made me feel so welcomed and understood with the situation I was going through. Michele even helped find me accommodations when I would drive down weekly, and always checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. Knowing how they treated me (doing me the favor), I can't even imagine how they treat their student and clients - I promise whether you are looking to get treatments, or looking to attend this school you will 100000% not regret it - you will get the best experience regardless! Thank you so much Michele, Bailey, Andrew, Chandler, & Ale from the bottom of my heart, you will always have a friend in me! I am so thankful for everything you all did to help me, you are truly one of a kind! This place feels like home, and I can't wait to come back and visit everyone here!

I walked around and found one, who did not appear to know anything about his class, and vaguely waved him over to join the other children sitting around. On the third day, I discovered that the children were at the center for only the first 2 hours each afternoon, then taken to a park and left, apparently unsupervised, for the remaining hour. While there, my grandson was bullied, including being physically hit below the belt. After this, he refused to return. I paid $180 for this opportunity for him to learn computer animation, and the result was (possibly) 6 hours of instruction, and his humiliation and physical hurt. Shame on this place for allowing this to happen to children.

Through practice and the continued perseverance of both her and her teacher, she has grown so much and is able to self-manage and focus much better, all without the use of medication. I cannot recommend Leticia and Embody Play enough!

From the first class I observed, I knew that EPY had something more to offer than a traditional kid's yoga class. During the class, the families weren't just sitting still and learning meditation techniques. They were running around, dancing, making silly sounds; a huge smile spread across everyone's faces. The feeling of bliss and excitement in the room was palpable. My internship taught me that we all learn best when we are able to express ourselves, play and when we feel connected to those around us. EPY has a way of making every person regardless of age, gender, shape, ability or identify feel supported in exploring yoga, art, movement and mindfulness techniques. I loved my experience so much that I decided to take on a yoga teacher role with EPY after finishing my internship. It has been a joy and an honor to work for this company and I would highly recommend the classes to families and children of all ages!
