Veronica Van Gogh Graphic Design Review

Having worked in the web design business for years, I had a very specific vision of my finished website.  Veronica was able to translate my verbal instructions into corresponding visual elements.  More importantly, she took my basic design instructions and created something that was beyond my expectations.  Between Drop Box and email, I was always kept up-to-date on the status of my projects.  In addition to my website, Veronica also created the design for my business cards (EVERYONE comments on it when receiving one) along with other important collateral for my business.  Very fairly priced.  Highly recommended.

Now Voyager Travel Review

I want to personally and publicly thank Now, Voyager Travel for all their help during my "crisis" with Air Canada.

Basically, what happened was that Air Canada delayed all my flights and then lost my luggage on what was supposed to be my 15-day "dream vacation" to Norway and Scotland.  My luggage contained important daily prescription medication as well as technical hiking gear (the bulk of my trip involved hiking in Norway).

I was basically stranded in Stavanger, Norway for 3 days because Air Canada lost my luggage and could not find it (as I was told by their so-called customer service operators) .  Air Canada could not locate my luggage for 3 days, and by that time the medical condition that affected my legs got worse and I could barely walk in my hotel room, let alone go hiking!

So, adding to the bad customer service that I already received from Air Canada staff while I was stranded at Toronto International Airport, they then told me that I could NOT leave to go home earlier than the original date of my airline ticket. Otherwise, I would have to pay extra just to go home early!

How messed up is that?!?!?!?  First, 1) They lose my luggage, 2) My medical condition got worse, and 3) I missed the VERY reason for visiting Norway (my hikes were pre-paid with special Norwegian hiking guides)--and now, 4)  I had to pay EXTRA to Air Canada just to get home? That is the lowest of the low in customer service!

My FANTASTIC travel professional Jonathan (who was on his own vacation at the time) and his colleague Peter IMMEDIATELY did everything that they possibly could to get me booked on ANOTHER airline as fast as they could.

Heck, if I were to pay $1500+,  I was NOT about to give more money to Air Canada.  So, Now Voyager travel got me onto KLM Airlines--which made me so happy.

It is great to be back in the United States--and I thank Now Voyager Travel for getting me back home from this "Air Canada nightmare."

Thanks a BILLION, Now Voyager Travel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A happy, always-satisfied, proud and loyal customer of Now Voyager--for over 7 years now.

You guys are THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feed Health Review

I had an unfortunate streak of superfluous illnesses last winter and was getting really frustrated. No amount of sleep, exercise, or echinacea was protecting me from the latest thing going around. Then I realized the one thing I was really missing was a foundation of healthy eating habits. This busy career girl was subsisting on takeout, airport food and sauvignon blanc for far too long. It was time for professional intervention.

Lindsay does a very thorough intake of your likes, dislikes, habits, and attitudes about self-care to find places where you can improve and expand. She's thoughtful, attentive, and truly interested in educating you to live a healthier life. Through a personalized program, you learn that healthy eating is more than just getting your vitamins - it's about buying whole foods, learning to cook easy dinners for yourself, and knowing exactly why you should care about things like non-GMO foods and free-range chicken eggs.

She's even led me through Rainbow Grocery, where I can now navigate the formerly intimidating bulk section with ease, willingly buying things like millet and dulce. My Southern mother says she has no idea what I'm eating these days, but as long as I'm getting my vitamins, it's cool.

I should point out, while we've seriously changed my approach to food, Lindsay hasn't encouraged me to rule out anything "fun" - I just know how to make better choices at any given moment. Sometimes a bloody mary feels like a fabulous idea, and that's okay.

Working with Lindsay is one the best things I've done for myself. Definitely worth the investment!
