What do event planners say about working with Paula?
“The personal story and connection you have. You’ve done the work – been in a very bad place and come to find there is a way to remember a loved one and enjoy life. You have a way of making everyone feel relaxed and they can relate to you. So much of your journey they can see in themselves – they want to find a way to get back to a happy place in their own life.”
“Paula was great to work with from the beginning! She handled the sensitive topic with care, but also wasn’t afraid to tackle the hard subject matter. She was able to put a spin on the topic that allowed our audience to think of their experience in a completely different way than they ever have before. We would book Paula again!”
