Sisters Share A 'Day with a Fashion Stylist'"Thank you once again for a great personal styling experience. What a great way to spend time with my sister during her stay here in Ottawa. My sister and I really enjoyed all of the various activities and found them very enlightening. We are excited about the new ideas, future purchases and making some of our current pieces a little more figure appropriate." Marian G., Ottawa
"I wish you were in Winnipeg so we could go through the rest of my wardrobe." Fran S., Winnipeg (visiting sister)

"My wife said and I quote: 'That was the best birthday present ever.' As much as this was my gift to her, it's you who made this gift such a success. I would never have expected her to get as involved as she did!! Kudos to you for making her enjoy shopping anew! I was so happy that she'd had such a good time and so grateful to you for making it so much fun. Thank you for all the time and advice. It was well worth it. She learned a lot! She's very happy with the gift and the service. She keeps telling everybody about it. One thing is for sure, you've certainly impressed us!."Jon L., Gatineau
"It takes a lot of courage to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, especially a new look, but I can tell you that the experience is totally worth it!
I love how I feel in my new clothes. I know I look stylish and put together and I have found new confidence. I had a bit of a struggle getting used to my new hair style and some of my clothes but now I look forward to trying new looks.
I never really enjoyed shopping before. After having 2 children my body just wasn't the same and I did not know how to dress it. After spending 2 days shopping with Wilma I learned what looks best on my body and how to shop for deals at places like Winners. Now I try to etch in a little bit of time for me to shop for myself and it is fun!" Beth B., Ottawa
Scaled Back "Einsteinian" Look"There are so many people walking around (me included) that cannot analyze themselves in an objective way as to how they are seen by others. We simply do not have that insight into ourselves. I'd had the same self-styled tired 'look' for too long. I didn't realize I was giving the wrong messages about myself. I couldn't have done this on my own; it would have been too radical a change, nor could I see that I need a new look. Wilma helped me accept it on a rational and psychological level. She intuitively sees the new you that you cannot see. She helped me feel important and you feel her compassion to help you. It was a great experience.
Everyone seemed to approve of this 'new me', including myself. This does wonders for one's confidence and psyche giving me greater credibility in my business and personal life.
Next is my wardrobe and I'm excited to see what changes Wilma will make in my clothes closet. I sense I'll gain even more confidence and style with her insight. Thank you PS!" Tony Hayton, Ottawa Entrepreneur
Husbands Surprise Wives With A 'Day With A Fashion Stylist'"Spending a shopping day with a fashion stylist was such an awesome birthday gift. I highly recommend it. My husband loved all my purchases and my family was floored as I incorporated old pieces with new ones."
One year later...
"I know your guidance will have an even greater impact in the upcoming months. I decided to just go for it and follow a life long dream of mine so I'm starting my modeling course next week. I've told so many people about my experience with you. I LOOOved it!" Christie-Leigh Macartney, Ottawa CPT, Nutrition & Wellness Specialist

"I really needed the push and I appreciate Wilma doing that. She reassured me that I would look younger, more confident and even sexier!
What you told me was true; I see it now. Thank you Wilma for helping me see that I needed to make changes to my hair and wardrobe. I love my new image.
I look at myself now and wonder why I didn't do this years ago. I love my new look!" Matthew V., Ottawa
