Stop thinking about it and work with Jon. There are no words to describe how incredible he is as…read moreboth a teacher and an actor. I recently took his Self Tape Mastery 3-Day Intensive and WOW. I truly cannot recommend it enough. I've been acting for a few years now (mainly commercials and short films) and I had always wanted to train with Jon. But to be honest, I was pretty intimidated because I know many of his clients are booking major projects. I went into the class so nervous I wouldn't measure up, but I felt at ease immediately and couldn't stop thinking, "Why didn't I do this sooner?!?" Jon is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about the industry and the amount of insight he shares is invaluable. My mind seriously was racing trying to absorb everything. Plus, he creates such a welcoming and supportive environment. He tells it like it is (something I've been searching for in an acting teacher for years), but in a way that makes you feel empowered and capable. I genuinely didn't want the class to end. And yes, by the end of the three days, I walked out as a stronger actor and I promise you will too. Jon is also one of the most supportive people you'll meet. He'll be your biggest cheerleader and is the kind of coach who simply wants to see his students succeed. In fact, I went back to tape an audition with him just a few days later, which was another fantastic experience. He really is a one-in-a-million coach and LA is lucky to have him. I'm already looking forward to getting back into his studio again soon. So if you're considering working with Jon, take the leap and invest in yourself. You'll walk away with priceless knowledge and guidance from one of the best.

I've been following Jonathan's IG for awhile now -- the self tapes he posts of his auditions and…read moreother actors grab your attention instantly. I had saved his name as a place I would try if I ever got a big audition. I did get two auditions for two shorts that are going to be showcased at Tribeca (should have gone to him!). I saw that he was offering an On-Camera Self Tape Mastery 3-day Intensive. He doesn't offer classes frequently so I jumped at the chance to get in. These classes fill up fast as I believe it's a max of 6 students. I was extremely nervous because I knew I was going to be the most green actor there. And his clients book big jobs so I was expecting he was going to be super tough on me. But Jonathan created such a safe environment to have fun and that it's okay to make mistakes and learn. Each day he shares his wisdom and every person gets in front of the camera. You also get the tape from each day so you can see your progress. I enjoyed his easy-going, no-BS teaching approach. Just from the three days with him, I can tell that he is a great acting coach, reader and that he really cares for his clients and want them all to win. He treats his client's auditions as if he was the one auditioning and gives his 110%. So not only do the tapes visually look amazing, he will pull the best he can out of you. As far as parking, if it's the evening 5-8PM class, there are at least 4 metered parking right in front of his studio and more across the street and a few blocks away. Two out of three days, we were able to grab a spot right in front. It's 2 hours metered parking, but he will remind you close to the 2 hour mark to go fill the meters. I believe it's $1/hr (which isn't bad considering for LA). I can't wait to do self-tapes here! Go here and you won't regret it !

I took their free Essential Keys class, and then despite feeling fear went with my gut and signed up for Doorway to Transformation, and then again despite feeling really strong fear of disapproval from my family and fear about the money, went with my gut and enrolled in their certification programs. The energy healing counselor program, especially, has been the most profound transformational course of my life. I found a community of people, teachers and students, who have supported me in my hardest times and been there to witness my growth. Being witnessed by people who care was so crucial for me. I went from living in constant emotional turmoil to experiencing so much more love, joy, and real connection in my life. If its the right time in your life to embrace a new you and transform the things inside which are keeping you stuck or hurt or lonely, Lionheart is an incredible place and group of people to take the journey with. I'm still on my journey, but feel like I'm coming out on the other side with more love, renewed self-confidence, and an extremely acute inner knowing of my life path. Plus, and I think this is the best part. By going through the program, you will learn incredible tools in order to develop powerful emotional intelligence, which will serve you when the challenges in the outer world get tough. Thank you Lionheart.

Before I came to Lionheart I struggled with anxiety, chronic pain, and a belief that I was "too…read moresensitive". My career was keeping me in a constant state of stress which affected my health and relationships. I was in a pattern of disassociating from the stressful experiences in my life and invalidating my emotions. I would need extended periods of alone time to help me recharge from the over-stimulation I was feeling on a regular basis. I had been seeing a healer who is a graduate of The Lionheart Institute and she suggested The Essential Keys to Energy Healing class. I had been working with her for 3 years and saw tremendous personal growth during that time. I went to the Essential Keys class not really knowing what to expect and left with a feeling of excitement! There is something about the group energy that my body and soul needed to enter the next phase of my journey. I heard a voice say "This is it!" but my mind said "Hmmm I'm not sure about this. What exactly are you getting yourself into here?" As a result of the work I have done with Lionheart I am celebrating the fact that what I was getting myself into was ME. I now have a deeper connection with my essence and what simply brings me happiness. This gave birth to a major transition in my life. I made a big career change and have successfully started my own energy healing practice that is supporting the lifestyle I always wanted. One where I can create my own schedule and put aside time to explore my many interests. A lifestyle that supports my personality and creative gifts. I no longer feel "too sensitive" because I know my sensitivity is a gift that I can use to help others. I learned the anxiety I was feeling was my intuition telling me I was in a work environment that did not match my soul's longing. My new schedule has opened up time for me to do yoga every morning and make food for myself which has drastically lessened my chronic pain issues. I now listen and hold space for my emotions because I trust they are the key to my intuition and my intuition navigates my path towards joy. I acknowledge my commitment to this process as the key to my transformation. The teachers and students at Lionheart provided the support and encouragement I needed to see it through. The support continued even after the classes were over. The Lionheart Institute has a comprehensive education where you learn how to heal yourself, heal others, and set up an energy healing practice. Post graduation they get you in contact with teachers who provide practical steps on how to turn your practice into a profitable business. I have also made life long friendships with my classmates. Without all of these elements I would not be where I am today which is building a business that brings healing energy to the planet. I thank them every day for that gift.

There are sing-alongs, dancing, and instruments all in the 45 min class. We tried a couple of other studios in the neighborhood but they seriously pale in comparison to LadyBug. We're so happy we found it! The scheduling is so easy, there are limitless make-ups in case of illness or other things that come up in life, they truly make it easy for parents. There's an app with all the songs too so you can listen at home, we listen all the time and sing along.

We were hooked from the start! The music is excellent, with fun reimagined classics and beautiful original songs, all spanning a range of genres in a kid-friendly style. I've also noticed the developmental benefits for my son after only a few months. He's an introvert, but every class I watch him come alive! His ability to keep rhythm, sing, and move to the music has grown, as have his confidence and sociability. What I love most about Ladybug is the community vibe. The teachers are all so lovely, the families are so sweet, and the energy as a whole is warm and vibrant without the overstimulation today's fast-paced world often carries. Our Saturday morning class is the highlight of our week and I'm so happy with our investment in this learning and family time. Worth every penny!

Attention to Cupertino--- Magikid robotics Lab owner. I am…read moreworking at Ad&c Design, we've been proudly providing professional signage services for over 15 years. We care deeply about every order, treat every project seriously, and always keep our promises--especially on quality and on-time delivery. In September 2024, we completed a custom sign for Magikid Lab. All design details--including size, color, materials, and lighting--were clearly confirmed by the owner, Brian, before we began production and installation. After the sign was installed, Brian later raised concerns about the brightness of the letters and refused to pay the remaining balance of $1,200, as stated in our signed contract. To resolve the concern, we proposed a simple and professional solution: bring the exact letter ("G") back to our office for testing. This would allow us to explore adjustments--such as increasing the LEDs or modifying the vinyl--without making changes 18 feet up that might not satisfy them again. We informed their manager, Ashley, and removed the letter with notice. We then invited them several times to our office to test solutions. They never showed up. Later, a second co-owner, Mr. Lester, took over communication and sent us a very aggressive message, offering only $600 and demanding we return the letter immediately. He then accused us of theft, called the police, and threatened to have us arrested if we returned to the site. He also warned that he would post negative reviews across Yelp, Google, BBB, and more, labeling our business a "scam"--despite never attempting to resolve the issue properly. He further threatened to report us to immigration (ICE), hire another contractor to fix the sign at our expense, sue us in court, and file complaints with the Contractor State License Board. These threats are not only unnecessary--they go far beyond what's reasonable for resolving a routine business dispute. We're disappointed--not just by the breach of contract, but by the unwillingness to spend even an hour to solve the issue professionally. We ask: is it really worth damaging someone's business reputation over $1,200 when we've clearly shown a willingness to fix it? We believe that mutual respect and professionalism are essential in any business relationship. Unfortunately, the actions taken by the ownership of this educational business--choosing threats and public attacks over simple, cooperative problem-solving--raise serious concerns. As a parent and business owner, I would personally think twice before sending my own child to a place run with this kind of behavior and attitude. We remain committed to finishing this job under the contract. If the owners wish to terminate, they must do so formally and pay the balance owed. We continue to serve our clients with honesty, respect, and professionalism, as we've done for over 15 years. --

Somehow two of my three looks "got lost" and I never received them. They took no accountability and told me that all photos that were taken should be included in the Dropbox but that wasn't the case. My looks were nowhere. Additionally, right after I brought this up to them I stopped receiving emails for internships and opportunities for their job board. It definitely wasn't a coincidence. They told me that I "unsubscribed" (which I didn't) and there was no way to re-add me back on the list.. doesn't even sound believable. I spent thousands of dollars and it was a waste.
