“This was an inspiring and life-changing event for me. I am a better and stronger person for it and am not afraid anymore of pursuing the things which are important to me, no matter the odds. Before, the gatekeepers to my fulfilling my dreams would always keep me at bay and in the shadows; Marisa has shown me that I should strive to be the best I can be instead and let my inner light shine through!” – Jeanne Peterson, Toronto

“Through Marisa Santoro’s inspiring direction and business experience straddling both a successful career as an American woman leader in corporate as well as her growing a sought after organization as an entrepreneur, I was drawn to her given my own career background. I too came from a professional corporate world (in the UK) and cut over to being a small business owner in New York. Marisa has given me much needed input on my signature speech, helping me frame a consistent “voice” in business. I thoroughly enjoyed her “gutsy moves for women” programming, it opened up much possibility for me and has helped me form complementary partnerships I hadn’t considered before especially coming from the UK to the States to start a new venture! I look forward to learning more of future Dream shoe seminar programming!” – Chini Perera, New York

“MY HERO! Can’t believe it! I got a teaching gig and they have me in the instructors catalog already. The teaching will begin sometime in May and, at that time, they tell me, there’ll be a major promotion–plus, that’s when you’ll see the catalogs in those little street boxes. I started to look at the list of instructors and started to think things like “oh, they’ll never want me…”. It’s like you have no filter for the words “I can’t”.What an inspiration you are to me.” – Irene Ross, New York

“Marisa, you have truly been an inspiration to me and your words resonate deep within me. They affirm that my actions as a woman and as a human being do count for something and that I am justified in fighting for the things which are important for me – family, career, well-being. Attending your seminars and tuned into your articles reminds me that I am not alone in this. Hundreds, thousands of sister-souls are behind me, empowering me, supporting me and loving me. Thank you for helping us, one soul at a time!” – Jane Peters, New York

“I am in the crossroad of “reborn” my power to pursue my dreams, but the way is long and tough. After so many years of protecting myself to avoid being hurt, not showing my real potentiality, my light is deeply hidden , just a little flame that only fires in short snaps triggered by external means as music. You cannot imagine how your work is helping me.” – Ana Isabel Agorreta,Netherlands
