"Last week, Helen Spielman gave performance anxiety talks, workshops, and private coaching sessions at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. She was wonderful! Helen addressed the entire student body of the School of Music with a heartfelt and inspirational talk, where she shared some of her own struggles with performance anxiety and how she was able to overcome them.

She also talked about tools and techniques to combat the negative thoughts that contribute to this problem. After that, Helen did an intense two hour workshop just for my flute studio. She is very gifted in helping people to acknowledge these feelings and in showing them how to convert them into something more positive and constructive. This was an incredible bonding experience for my studio and I can already see how the students are treating each other with a much greater sensitivity than before.

All who worked with Helen just raved about the experience. Several of my colleagues want to bring her back to do sessions for their studios as well. I would highly recommend Helen to any persons who want to help themselves or their students deal with these issues. Working with her would be an incredible gift."

"Helen gave a fantastic two-day workshop for our students at Coastal Carolina University. Her personal stories are touching and inspirational. She has a unique background in education and coaching that offers a special touch when approaching young performers. Many students from my studio have already practiced the concentration and focus exercises Helen presented, and a remarkable number have mentioned how much more aware they are of their mind, body, and spirit on the day of a performance. We look forward to having Helen return for future workshops."
