Very motivated instructor. Great Job Lori!!

Lori is a great presenter. Love hearing her shared stories. She has a great attitude and these classes are important for individual well-being.

This was outstanding. I was literally in tears while I was teleworking during the training. At one point I was doing 4 things at once during the training and I just stopped and began to take it all in. THIS HAS HELPED ME

This class made me cry. I had a very traumatic experience in my military career that I never really addressed properly. I have heard of these tools before and have used them but then daily life takes over and fall back into a routine. I appreciated this class so much because it brought up a lot of emotions and let me know that I can feel this way and I can take the time for myself. Reminding me of the tools that can help me feel and "breathe" is definitely something I need to work on. The presenter was amazing and sharing her personal experience made me really feel a connection instead of death by powerpoint. Thank you
