Testimonials
I had my 11th Birthday Party with Elizabeth Stahl in January. I think this was really one of the most fun. My friends and I are still talking about it. A lot of my friends favorite thing to do was the Goddess cards. They really work! A bunch of my friends also liked the hula-hoop game we played. We also made beautiful Crowns. I made mine with flowers and gems. My friends and I decided that it was one of the best birthday parties they've been to. Also, just to add, Liz is a super nice woman!<3 Rachel Kidd
I hired Elizabeth Stahl to give my
daughter a very special 21 birthday surprise party last September
in 2007. We flew her out to the West Coast to facilitate her “Girls of Power
Party”.
We all loved the crowns we wore, the
amulets that we brought, the noise makers we shook, the hula hoop we swung and
the love we shared. The event was so special and personal it felt as if
it was a sacred ritual that was passed on from generation to generation.
My
daughter’s party included three generations of the women in our family. In
attendance was my daughter, my mother, my Aunt and myself. I think having three
generations celebrating together gave my daughter an insight to how deeply she
is connected to the generations that have walked before her.
My daughter’s circle of friends
experienced an evening that deeply touched
and enriched the lives of every woman in attendance. I heard from her friends
for days and weeks after the party. Each one had their own unique perspective, but
none were without a sense of spirituality, connection and love and joy.
Turning 21 is cause for a special
celebration, but having a “Girls of Power Party” was truly the finest way to
usher in such a very special celebration. Thank you Elizabeth, I hope to have you in my home
again for another momentous occasion very soon!

To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to recommend the Girls of Power
program created and implemented by Elizabeth Stahl B.A., N.H.C. The Girls
of Power program was offered to the middle school girls enrolled the Odyssey
after school at Girls Incorporated of Lynn from February though March 2008. The
girls who participated did so voluntarily and would have been happy to have the
group continue.
The girls enjoyed the program tremendously and
maintained regular attendance throughout its duration. The program
highlighted and met the girls’ need to express themselves and discuss their
emotions. The weekly lessons were active and evoked a wonderful sense of
play and imagination in the girls. The props and approach that Elizabeth
incorporated set the tone for self-reflection and reinforced the girls’ sense
of the sisterhood and inner strength. I was very happy that our members were
able to participate in the Girls of Power program and would recommend it for
any group who is interested in helping girls become Girls of Power.
Sincerely,
Lena Crowley
Thank you Liz, I loved my Goddess Party and all of my friends did too! Thank you for making my birthday so special!
