" — Former singles bootcamp client, Federal Government, Midwest, US

"We wanted to let you know we first met you at a wedding expo! Then we hired you for couples coaching because we wanted to better understand what it would take to help our relationship last.

Thank you!" — Former Couples Client, Accountant and Stay-at-Home-Mom, Western, US

"I met you on a lesbian cruise when you were leading a speed dating. I want to thank you for a great event.

Is that not cool or what?" — Former Speed Dating Attendee, Vet Tech, Midwest, US

"I started to work with Barb Elgin after four scary years of meeting women the hard way. Online dating just didn't cut it for me.

" — Former Client, Doctor, Northeast, US

"I was thinking of you today and how much I owe to you. I'm doing wonderfully! I truly believe I have found the individual for which I have searched. ALL of my requirements are met. The thing I find most interesting relates to a question I raised about focusing too much on "the package" and not enough on how my ideal relationship would "feel". "The package" is not at all what I expected but the "feeling" is extraordinary! Well, anyway, the whole thing is a bit scary, yet, very peaceful and amazing. Thank you again for making yourself available and for teaching the possibilities!" — Former Client, Teacher, Southern, USA

"I have met a wonderful woman and we are dating and having such a great time together. She is beautiful inside and out, very attentive, and just perfect for me. She loves to spoil me and me her. Values are aligned, compatibility, backgrounds, fun, happy, sexy, I feel so blessed I can't believe it. Thank you so much for your help. Your class helped, believe me. I will have to send you a pic of the two of us. She is taking me on a weekend getaway in a couple of weeks. Yipee!! " — Former Client,  Coach Sappho's Attract Mz. Right Boot Camp,

"I wouldn't have found or joined lesbian groups in my community, such as the reading group or the coffee shop group. I wouldn't have started to speak up for myself and come out to family. I wouldn't have learned to believe in myself enough to be where I am in my business and I wouldn't be comfortable in my own skin. I wouldn't be able to sit and talk with my sister about MY life. I wouldn't have looked for a special someone. I wouldn't have met her at through an event sponsored by Barb Elgin. Without Barb Elgin, my life wouldn't be nearly as satisfying as it is!" — Former Client, Entrepreneur/Healthcare Professional, St. Louis, MO

"I am a 38 year old lesbian who became very tired of looking to meet new women in all the same places and through all the same means. I was desperately searching for someone who shared my same interests and life experiences as well as someone who was older and more mature. It wasn't until I started attending Barb Elgin's events that my excitement was renewed! Now I am meeting women all over the country and am making new friends. I also recently went on my first date with a 44-year old lesbian and am already looking forward to our second! This is the best money I've ever spent...Thank you!" — Former Client, Marketing Professional, Southwestern USA

"I have participated in many group and individual counseling or coaching sessions as I have journeyed through my life. Much of the information given I still utilize in my daily dealings socially and in my career. So, before joining Barb Elgin's group for couples my concerns were that I know it all, what else can I learn? I'll be bored and not get any value from this experience...It's a waste of time and money. I was wrong...You can never know it all when it comes to communication, there's always some little gem that only a third party could point out. Through this group, I am learning more about us as a couple, before I did a lot of work on me, by myself, now I'm taking the step to look at an us...That's a very important change of focus and one that I need to listen and learn more about, I want to have a strong, healthy us...and this is setting us up to handle things in a loving, respectful way. I'm looking forward to developing a vision for our relationship, it's exciting to me to get that insight into our relationship and our future together.
