Deniece's Testimonials

School 

"Deniece joined us on a volunteer basis in 2023.  She began by providing support at lunchtime for extra supervision of our over 900 students population. 

Quickly this turned into a compassion project where Deniece collaborated with me on the "You're Important" heart sticker project.

​

Twice a week Deniece has come into our school and passed out heart stickers to our students saying, "You're important!" to each student as she looks them in the eyes.  She does this with anywhere from 150 - 250 students per day.  She has also spent time with students after lunch in the office who have needed moral support.

​

Students have mentioned, "This is the best part of my day!"  "Deniece helps me not be sad."  "Because of Deniece I'll be OK today."  The students are now telling each other, "You are important!"  And I've seen them take a sticker and put it on Deniece and say, "You are important too!" 

​

We've got a movement going on here!!  Deniece has been wonderful!"

"Deniece is able to speak her own experiences and that helps me to recognize that I am not alone with my own hurt and painful emotions.  She is candid and that helps me to feel safe to explore my own emotions."

"I have listened to some of Deniece's classes on compassion for my own personal journey.  When I heard she was working on compassion in the workplace, I was thrilled because we own a small business and have been looking for strategies to manage employees. 

I reached out to Deniece, so far two times, to guide me and coach me through some situations.  She put the situations I was in in a much lighter perspective and really helped me navigate through these with a business mind, efficient mind, clear mind but also a loving mind.  It was very eye opening.  I will be calling her for more advice."

"Deniece's calmness and heart-centered teaching style is very comforting and allowing.  Her class is inclusive and open.  Good questions are asked to create thought and reflection.

We desperately need more soul guides in our world.  Thank you for your service to humanity."

"The way you related to the group with stories and sharing kindness from the heart was especially helpful for me. The class was well organized in topics the flowed together to create a simple but complex mindful experience.  You make me feel welcomed and in a safe space to share."

Cary S.

Meditation Student

"I found it really helpful when you asked us to set our intention for meditation.  In the past I have tried to meditate and have just felt like I couldn't completely clear my mind.  But setting an intention helps me focus on one single thing and not feel like my mind is racing trying to empty itself.

I found your class very helpful and really enjoyed your teaching style, slow and calm, taking time to make sure everyone had a chance to speak.  

It was evident from the personal stories that you shared that you have been able to implement these strategies and meditations into your own life.  I think it is always easier to take advice/guidance from someone who is actively practicing what they are encouraging others to try.
