“I am completely delighted! Michelle, it’s been 5 days since you took me out shopping and I now finally understand the name of your business! I am (was!) absolutely the Reluctant Goddess. Last week, I relented and allowed Michelle to style me so that my image and my activites actually match! I hemmed and hawed over spending a day and the money with Michelle for ages before deciding, even after she’d done such a great job on identifying my ‘colours’ and helping me understand what I needed to know and why some things are just no-nos. Still I was not convinced that a day with her would make a difference. As a business mentor, I love efficiency, and when it comes to making sure that I’m looking my best and able to present myself well ‘out there in the world’, I am NOT the most effective person for the Job! Even though Michelle had managed on a previous occasion to show me exactly what colours to wear etc, I’d still not done anything with the information. I came to understand now that I get a bit too overwhelmed at the thought of shopping, connecting the colour dots and understanding what might look good on me! to be truly honest, I preferred allowing myself to continue to look a little unkempt and feeling a little bit dowdy. So I (reluctantly!) gave Michelle the go ahead nudge and I can only say that I’m just so so pleased I did. Not only am I extremely happy with all I now own, and the fact that I can be fully confident that whatever I now pull out of my wardrobe fits whatever occasion I need it to, without me thinking about it! THAT is magic and efficiency at it’s best. More importantly, I was so impressed with how Michelle took care of me, made it so easy to select and choose things that she’d already put together so all I needed to do was simply get in and out of clothes, say yes or no, and move on to the next shop. If you have ever had any doubts about shopping, about how you look, about what goes with what, or are just plain scared about the whole prospect of having to work out what your own image needs to be, then hand yourself over into the capable hands of this woman, now. You too will be walking around with a huge smile on your face, happily swishing about in clothes that fit you perfectly, are fabuloulsly figure huggingly fit and make you feel so confident that you can go and be seen anywhere at any time. Truly, it was a life changing experience. It’s taken me 5 days to write this as I wanted to check that the effects were not just an ‘on the day’ miracle. I’m so pleased to say they are not. (I’m actually finding myself looking forward to my next ‘top up’ seasonal session). The time I’ve saved, the fear I’ve not had to face and the joy I feel just speak for themselves! Thank you.”
