One of the cool things about having lived in NYC for 10 years was the level of talent and super charming people I got to interact with. People I met there have moved on, like myself.

I recently received this lovely testimonial from a happy client in New York, and just had to share!
“I first spoke with Sarah when she was based in New York City and I was pregnant with our first child.
