MEEC is truly amazing…read more When we realized our son had a speech delay, he was 2 1/2 years old and hadn't began to talk. We didn't know what to do or how to help him. Then a friend recommended MEEC, and we cannot thank the preschool teachers, Speech Therapists or adminstration enough. Every staff member is caring, professional and incredibly patient with the students and parents. Now our son is in third grade and he is thriving in school and social situations. He is now on track to not need Speech Therapy very soon. We also sent our daughter to MEEC for preschool and she didn't have any speech or socializing issues and we are so happy and lucky MEEC provided an excellent preschool experience. My family cannot recommend MEEC enough.

When our home district shut down and placed my two special needs preschoolers on a remote learning screen I knew they needed more. MEEC welcomed them in with open arms and they have blossomed in just these last two months. I only wish I had found them sooner. The early intervention in this critical time period for preschoolers is second to none. The dedication and love of this staff in a period of turbulence in our world with the COVID situation is truly remarkable. I cannot think of a better place for parents to send their children. I cannot possibly put into words what they have done for our children and our family. I can't wait to see what the next months bring. Julie P.

I'm not 100% sure how you write a review of your ol' college, but here it goes:…read more I thought long and hard about giving BW a less than perfect star rating due to things I'm a little bitter about (*cough* school loan debt *cough* no jobs after college *cough*) but then I realized all those things had nothing to do with the great experience I had here. I'll explain: After high school I went to John Carroll. I have no idea why, other than it had a pretty campus, but everything else fell flat for me there. It just wasn't the school for me. I was looking for a warm, social environment with great professors and ratings. So I transferred and found that at BW! (And yes, I went there when it was BWC, not this University stuff they have going on now... but I digress.) Overall, I had a complete and utter blast in college (met my very best friend!), which was exactly what I wanted. The broadcasting dept. was just getting started with their TV program, BuzzTV and my advisor got me right into higher level journalism classes I couldn't get into at JCU (mostly because they didn't even have a good broadcasting program there when I went.) It was nice to get right into classes that actually had something to do with my dream career. Additionally the professors didn't waste any time telling us exactly what it was going to be like "out there," which gave me a much better idea of what I was getting myself into. The few liberal arts classes I did have to take were MY CHOICE--which was refreshing. Like, in my case, I didn't want to take a foreign language so I had the option of taking some pretty sweet history/religion courses that fulfilled those requirements. I absolutely could not get enough of these courses, especially since I got to choose one of my favorite profs. The housing, food, and meal card situation was pretty nice--especially since surrounding restaurants accepted our meal cards. The bookstore had tons of electronics which sort of chiseled away at my food funds, but whatever. The books themselves can get pricey and there's no off-campus stores that offer used books--so that sucked. They did offer a buyback program that only half raped you, so that was nice. Parking would be one of my only gripes, but when is that ever really nice unless you're an upper classman? Just watch out for those pesky campus parking tickets... lol. Plus, the campus is relatively small and the buildings are all within close walking distance. Greek life (I know I'm losing half of you here) was awesome. I loved the social aspect and you can't beat the Alpha Phis! Clearly I was interested in more of the social aspect of school... but I did maintain my grades and even made it to some classes (probably hungover, but who's judging?) Things I wish I would have spent more time with: The Career Department. I just didn't hear much about it when I was there and it looked so small--but I hear from other folks that it's actually pretty good. For me? It didn't help--I only made like 2 visits. I was still stuck in the mindset that I was going to become a reporter right out of college... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! #fail Then again, I have a much better job now than I could have ever imagined. (*wink, wink*)

Baldwin Wallace University is a nice college campus. I visited in May 2026 when a friend invited me…read moreand a few others to go eat with him at their dining hall since he had some meal plans left. I came on the last Friday of the semester (last day of classes). I came during lunch time and arrived alone as the other friends invited couldn't come. When I arrived on campus, there were signs leading me to Strosacker Hall which is where I needed to go. I appreciated the big parking lot which is free. I entered Durst Welcome Center to get help leading me to the entrance of Strosacker Hall and the student worker was helpful in directing me at which point I found my friend. I visited Strosacker Hall (Student Union building) which is where the dining hall is. The options for lunch were quite good. I chose rice and beef which came with green and red peppers. I also got apple juice, a cookie, and a small red velvet Bundt cake. I left full and satisfied. My friend enjoys being an undergraduate student here so if you are looking for a small liberal arts University then go and visit the campus of Baldwin Wallace and meet some staff members. They offer bachelor and masters degree programs in addition to certificate programs. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 83/250 total reviews in 2026 - 924 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 May 2026

I have attended several workshops and also completed the Coach Certification and Gestalt Training programs. I have been blown away by the ethics, commitment, and quality of the GIC staff and faculty. The GIC I know is one of the most open and supportive learning environments I have encountered. Actually, I value what I've learned there more than what I learned in my MBA program. The dozens of fellow students I have connected with at GIC have expressed the same sentiment. We all have been amazed at the personal growth and professional development that have been transformative for us. My only regret about the GIC is that I did not discover it earlier in my career (and life). If you are thinking about studying at GIC try an introductory workshop and/or talk to former students to decide for yourself.

The experiential work which is led by the GIC's faculty is transformative. I have been to two…read moreworkshops at the Gestalt Institute and I am about to graduate from the 20 month Gestalt training program. My experiences at Gestalt have been very powerful catalysts of positive change for me, in an extraordinary variety of ways - my coaching, my teaching, my writing and my personal life. I see there is a very negative review here. It appears the individual concerned had an unsually painful experience. It is important to know that while this does happen it is very rare. Group work is powerful and can stir up a lot of feelings. It is advisable to be in individual therapy alongside group work. In my experience at the institute, faculty are very careful to respect boundaries and not to push participants beyond their comfort. It is true that historically some Gestalt therapists, including Fritz Perls, were not so careful about respecting client resistances. Today, the culture at the institute is much more careful. Faculty will often step in to check with participants about their level of comfort and need for support and whether they wish to proceed. On rare occasions, where needed, I have also seen them step in to protect people if others are pushing too far or projecting onto them. However, it is obviously impossible for faculty to police everything that participants say to each other in group. Also, the work is often deeply personal and so can be painful or create feelings of vulnerability. For instance, some individuals may feel injured when their need to project onto others is interrupted by faculty who need to balance their need with the need of other participants to feel safe. Gestalt faculty have varied backgrounds - they may be psychiatrists, therapists, social workers, coaches, phd's, professors or work primarily with organizations. All have, in addition, gone through extensive Gestalt training. Faculty at the institute bring broad and deep training and experience in many areas. I have a PhD in psychology, twenty years of experience doing psychology and neuroscience research, I am a board certified coach with training from another coaching center, and I am a tenured professor who gets very good teaching reviews. I have a great deal of respect for Gestalt Institute faculty from what I have seen about how they operate. I know many other professionals feel the same way about the institute. It is an internationally recognized center - people come to it from across the USA and even abroad. It is a wonderful local resource for Cleveland. I strongly recommend that you take the opportunity to try out a workshop. It isn't for everyone, but it is absolutely transformative for many. Who would want to pass up on the chance to positively transform their life and relationships?

We were at Scribes & Scribblers for 2 years. The babyland and first two rooms seemed ok. Then we…read moregot to the 2 1/2 - 3 year old room. Within 5 months, we went through 7 teachers. Management hires unqualified care givers and then just fires them. This was very detrimental to our child's development - especially since he was being potty trained (at least at home. The school was just confusing for him) I also feel that the facility was not very clean, especially now having experience elsewhere. Our child constantly had diarrhea, developed warts, and was sick more than normal. Between the "dirty" classrooms, unqualified staff, poor food, and horrible management, I would NEVER recommend this place to any family. Erin Groves was awful to work with. She lied to parents and staff (I was told this by the people who were watching my child) and was hypocritical about discussing behavior of children. When my son was bitten multiple times by the same child (hers, as the staff in Babyland told me), she would lie about the situation and place blame on other children, including my own. Staff were afraid of her and allowed exceptions for her daughter that would have had other families kicked out. If I can give any advice to parents looking for childcare, please take your business elsewhere. This is not a good environment - physically and emotionally/mentally - and is not nearly as safe as other centers. (There is no lock on the door and visitors are free to roam wherever and whenever they please.) **Update. To follow up from below. It was 2 years ago, so that goes to sho that turnover is high. There are some good teachers there, though. In the baby room, we liked our son's teacher. The two rooms after that were great. But the top management was the biggest issue I dealt with while there. There was some communication, but it was minimal. We were told by the office that we should have professional help with our child. Our pediatrician never said this to us. And then one friday, we received a call to pick up our child and not to return. (So how does a family handle Monday morning with work? We were obviously in daycare because that was our option. This all happened after my husband and I started to question staff turnover, missing diapers/supplies for our son, safety and cleanliness, and why "incident reports" were being issued.) Now, I gave it some time, and we have had NO issues since at another, facility. And one that is willing to participate in step up to quality (5 star rated). We were also never given any information on financial assistance.

This is massage for the mind ... through the body…read more The first time I crossed the threshhold of "be in the tao", I was a mess - stressed and tired. Mary Ellen asked me what kind of massage I wanted and I literally put myself in her hands to decide. She chose a chi massage. Within minutes, everything inside me changed. I had visions. I gained clarity. I felt peaceful, yet energized. Creative ideas flowed in my dreams and work for weeks. Everything seemed easier, somehow. It was like a breakthrough after years of serious therapy, but without uttering a word or picking at old emotional wounds. So, of course, I went back. "be in the tao" is in The Gateway office building in Brecksville. The little corner space on the second floor "feels" good. There's a small fountain, Origami cranes floating over the massage table, and I like the music with gongs, chimes & birdsong. Her table is nicely padded and comfortably cozy warm. This time, I wanted to explore the belly massage. It's a detox massage. Who doesn't need to do a little seasonal cleanse. I know its effects are different for everyone. For me, it was like psychedelics without drugs, time-travel sans space suit, and more visions. Let's just say I'll update the post if any of them manifests, and leave it at that. The point is, Mary Ellen dispenses more than muscle manipulation. Ask about the three-years comatose client who, after Mary Ellen's work, is now showing responsiveness to stimulus, for example. If you're experiencing pain and stiffness in your muscles or your mind, consider putting yourself in Mary Ellen's hands.

I highly suggest seeing Mary Ellen.
