"I have attended
several dating workshops, read many
books on finding and building
relationships and still couldn't
find a suitable spouse. After
attending Melody's workshop series,
I learned what I was doing wrong,
what I was doing right and what the
red flags were to say goodbye. Her
visual props and interactive games
showed the co-ed crowd exactly what
the opposite sex was thinking and
why. We got to discuss things after
the exercises and boy, did I learn a
lot. If you can't find the right
person to share your life with, sign
up for Melody's classes. It works! I
met my husband three weeks after the
class ended."
