As a special education teacher in a specialized classroom for children with autism, characteristics of autism, and children with behavior challenges, I understand that caring for children with autism is a beautiful and fulfilling journey.

"The Information I learned from the Stress to Peace Workshop, which was conducted by Dolly Oksman is valuable. I realized the Importance of Self-awareness and finding the root cause of my triggers. I also learned some strategies that I need to do to have self-control and handle my emotional outburst. I recommend this workshop to anyone who is experiencing stress."

"I just had a wonderful workshop on Living a life of Stress to Peace. Learning what is the cause of my stress and how to recognize the beginning of it. Also how it affects our way of living and health. Really woke me up. I also learned different techniques on how to lessen my stressful life. Dolly was so great and I feel that this workshop and future workshops are for me and for so many out there that need to feel safe with someone like Dolly that can really help us with everyday stress. You will love this workshop. It was very motivating and spiritual. It is the beginning of me loving myself. Thank you Dolly."

"I participated in Dolly Oksman's workshop on Living an Authentic Life: Self Love. Initially, I did not have a clear understanding of what it means to live an authentic life but am now able to explain this concept as Oksman's presentation was not only enjoyable but highly informative. She does an excellent job of applying her own life experiences to the topic, which helped develop my understanding of what living an authentic life looks like. I would recommend this workshop to anyone as I believe it provides valuable guidance toward implementing self-love and, thereby, being able to more effectively help others."
