TESTIMONIALS
"The difference between Lisa and a therapist is that Lisa gets results --fast! The connection that she has been able to create with my daughter is one of genuine trust and caring. As a result, she has reached my daughter in ways that others before were not able because they were just doing a job. Lisa is establishing an enduring bond of support." - Susan - Mother of Client
objectively evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Lisa helped me to focus on my strengths when it was time to look for a long term career. She was so positive and sincere and really worked with me to figure out how to earn a living while doing something that matched my personality. Lisa is a motivator and I always looked forward to meeting with her. ~ M. Dumont Union College 07’ ABOUT REIKI Being a person who is open to trying new things, I was happy when Lisa Crofton invited me to her studio to introduce me to the art of Reiki. I really did not know what to expect, and when I arrived for my initial appointment, I learned that this healing practice was more common than I thought it was. Lisa also explained the basics of how she would be working, and I was encouraged to ask any questions I had. The environment of the studio itself was very relaxing. Soothing background music, tranquil scents and peaceful décor made it easy to relax. When my session was complete, my body felt a bit more rejuvenated and my mind a little less cluttered. Lisa explained that she had looked at my chakras and sent healing energy to certain areas where it was needed. I decided to start coming to Lotus Moon regularly because the art of Reiki itself is very interesting, and I do feel that I have gained energy and a sense of clarity as a result of Reiki. With my hectic schedule and all the running around I do, sometimes it’s easy to feel like I’m pulled in many different directions. The added energy and “balance” I have experienced from Reiki has definitely made a difference in my ability to handle everything that comes my way. Sincerely, Katrina DeVona Reiki erases my stress, relaxes my mind and heals my body and soul. The incredible peaceful healing I feel each time is like a mini vacation. I owe it to myself to give myself this gift and each time is a new experience. - Lyn Johnson
Lisa has outstanding interpersonal skills, initiative and creativity in combination with a very positive attitude, a high work ethic and a unique ability to listen and respond to the challenges that children face.....Lisa's program allows every child the opportunity to develop positive life skills which include: confidence, character, anti-bullying, friendship and relationship building skills. I have seen students become stronger individuals capable of making better decisions, improve self-confidence and build peer resistance skills. Additionally, I attended Lisa's parent workshop...Lisa was well- prepared and used real-life experiences that all the parents could relate to in their daily lives. Simply put, Lisa is a person who can make positive differences in the lives of children and parents. Stephen Nyerick, School Counseling Department Head Joseph A.

"Without Success Cafe I would not have learned how to ignore people that would make fun of me, but if they would make fun of my friends, I would know how to stand up for them." Kayla A. "Without Success Cafe I would not have learned how to be tolerant. Before I would get really mad at my sister and how I forget about it and get over it." I am more respectful to my parents" Codie W. "If I didn't have Success Cafe, I wouldn't be able to learn as many life lessons that I have currently am learning. Also since joining, I have learned how to ignore people that annoy me and obey my parents without back talk. Since the beginning of Success Cafe I have learned to have more self control and tolerance." Brandon B.

who make fun of me, stand up to people, and many other things. It is also a place where I can talk freely. I can now tolerate bullies, and have the confidence to stand up to them." Kyle M. "Success Cafe means to me that I can share life stories. It means I can learn from those stories. I try to learn from things I learn from this club. Without this club I wouldn't learn how to be a good person. I wouldn't have all these friends. I learned how to ignore people. How to talk to my parents. How to help people and me. More confidence. More respectful. More understanding." Rebecca C.
I would be missing out on learning how to control my anger, how to have a positive attitude and how to make the right choices and more. Because I joined Success Cafe I have learned to have more confidence in myself. Also, I learned to treat others the same and to ALWAYS put myself first! Arianna R.
Being part of Success Café has given K a sense of belonging. K and K have learned to respect others and be kind. Communications skills have improved. D is more apt to feel better about himself since attending Success Café. My child is more confidence and has better self esteem…he now understands what respect means and although he has always been respectful, he now knows when he is being respected! The peer bonds he has made has been wonderful. He knows how he feels and that others may feel the same. We have found that D’s attitude toward other people has changed for the better; he has been more outgoing and not as afraid to speak to others. I am hearing please and thank you – repeatedly. ‘May I have’ is also used much more. R finds other ways to deal with anger and frustration! She used strategies learned at Success Café & told us she has found ways of dealing with difficult people.
