TESTIMONIALS
Stacia did an amazing job turning a thesis I wrote into two lovely articles, with pictures! I appreciate her creativity and attention to detail. She asked questions to better understand me and what I wished to communicate, and was a joy to work with. I will definitely work with her again on future projects! 10/2020
Anastacia provided me with a professional book query letter and is currently editing my manuscript. She is professional, listens to my input and has provided me with valuable feedback and professional final products. I would highly recommend! 11/08/2019

I had the pleasure of working with Anastacia one-on-one to find a match. I wanted someone focused on finding me a relationship, and helping me get out of my own way with my unsuccessful attempts in that regard.
Anastacia has great intuition about people. She diligently screened top quality people for me to meet, and I was happy to get back in the flow of dating.
When she found Rob, I could hear the change in her level of enthusiasm, as she assured me that he met top criteria and so much more. It seems like every day I spend with him reveals just how on target her matchmaking abilities are. I recommend her wholeheartedly! 3/13/2022

Anastacia was my Matchmaker and Dating Coach for a few months during Covid when meeting people was especially difficult. She spent a lot of time with me diving into my likes/dislikes and really got a great sense of who I am and what I wanted in a loving partner. Anastacia understood what "tripped me up" in dating on my own and got to the heart of what I needed. Her straight talk approach was really helpful in cutting through any defenses or ambiguity and getting me to a place where I'm now open to and ready for love. Dating has become much less stressful and I enjoy a much better dating life as a result! 2/2/22
