I have been a meditation student and practitioner for over 20 years and still have found her techniques and approaches to be immensely helpful. Wish I had found her sooner! Her abilities to hold a sacred and clear space is really remarkable. I am so glad I took her class "Energy Management for Thriving" and have implemented her running energy mediation into my daily practice as it is quick and effective. I had always found hard previously to do a daily meditation practice. I have also used several of her techniques "on the fly" for protection and clearing. I look forward to working with her in the future. Stephanie Ansley Miller, Massage Therapist

Kirsten has helped me change my life. Using practical techniques that resonate with my unique…read morecircumstances, she taught me how to eliminate negative patterns at work and in my personal interactions. Initially, I was nervous and uncomfortable. Kirsten helped me feel at ease and was very open to feedback. If I felt misunderstood, I could tell her that in a very direct way and she would respond with a genuine desire to understand and get things unstuck. Kirsten is a great professional coach but where she really helped me is as a life coach. My path through life includes plenty of bumps and those bumps project into almost every aspect of my life. Identifying how this impacts me and those around me has been the most empowering experience of my life. Kirsten is flexible in terms of meeting format and can engage using in office visits or Skype. I've even Skyped with her from a conference room at work. Kirsten is refreshingly caring and unlike what I've experienced with traditional counseling practitioners. I never felt like she was watching the clock, disinterested or judging. She is always willing to answer questions via email with thoughtful responses. She is worth every penny and I highly recommended her.

I highly recommend David for support in framing out a new business idea and ensuring that you are focusing on the right things at the start. Five stars all the way!

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.
