FEEDBACK
What Clients Are Saying
"Mandy is wonderful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help or guidance with their brand. Mandy is approachable and open, which I loved to open up about what I truly wanted my brand to be. I asked Mandy to help me as I had taken the plunge to focus on teaching yoga, away from an advertising career. I needed guidance to find my personal brand. Mandy will guide you to find what you and your brand stand for, who your audience should be and most importantly, especially for me to define your worth. I felt it was more than identifying my brand but also coaching me. It has been brilliant, and already I am attracting clients, teaching what I feel right for me - more restorative/ calming practices and I feel I am on the right path.
Thank you."
