(Her materials) are incredibly meaningful. They serve as great sources of food for thought...Pamela is a shining example of someone that can connect with you on a deeper level to create
inner breakthroughs.

~ Marquise Sims, New York artist

I find her (writings and prompts) very meaningful. They posed questions that I had never thought of before and it really opened up a new perspective...wonderful messages that inspire
new thoughts!

~ Peiqing Lu, animation artist

Pamela’s interactions with the participants were helpful because she demonstrated sensitive, open-hearted, non-judgmental, and focused listening. I felt safe and could sense others did too. She also kept pace with the time limit of the event so more could be covered. This is a delicate balance! I felt heard and included. I noticed I wasn’t afraid of doing it wrong which was freeing.
