Testimonials

Coming into Miriam’s class is akin to being welcomed by a caring friend. She has the ability to make all members feel good about the experience, and safe to discuss personal issues and viewpoints. In a very quiet way, Miriam helps each individual reach their goals and better their lives. In both classes I have taken, the members collectively did not want the experience to end. She is an exceptional individual who gives her all to each participant.

I wanted to thank you for facilitating the wise aging course. I have been so impressed with the ease you always showed in steering dialogue among 19 participants to stay on topic, stay focused, and be conscious of the timing of the class in order to get the content covered. All with the finesse of a bird in flight, that just turns with ease that was so natural, no one ever felt cut off or disregarded as to their point. Your insight always on target and thought provoking. Thanks for teaching this class, I have learned things that have already enhanced my life experience, and I will surely use for the rest of my life. Sincerely Katrina Burkhardt
