Check out this testimonial from 9/02: "Hi Saqra, Just wanted to tell you that I've had great success using the stage fright CD. Since I'm not feeling so freaked out I can really focus on the music and my body. What a great thing! ;^D The eyebrow touch point totally works...I often found myself doing the "Turkish headache" gesture anyway, so now its easy to incorporate that in if I start feeling a little lost during performance. Count me as a happy customer and a happier dancer! Warmly, Hanan from Olympia" Another from 3/03:
Saqra, I just wanted to send an e-mail and Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I purchased the hypnotherapy cd last week and had a chance to listen to it for 4
days prior to my performance on Sunday night. It was the first time in 1 1/2
years of performing in public that I didn't break down and publicly cry from the
stress of it all! Not only did I leave my troupe mates with the jaws on the
floor at my 360 turn around, but also I had fun... and for that I will be
eternally grateful to you and your wonderful cd! We have a few students in
class who have complained about stage fright and not only will I be recommending
your cd/program to everyone, but I will have an article in our quarterly
newsletter! Shukran,
Shahlah |
