<span style="font-size: large;">So, you're interested in working
together to improve your well-being...</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I began
the study and practice of Herbalism in 1993 and have been seeing clients
broadly since 2008. I am a graduate of <a href="https://www.planetherbs.com/herbal-courses/36-lesson-professional-herbalist-course.html">East West School of Planetary Herbology</a>. <i> </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I welcome you to become my client - to partner together in the pursuit of your well-being.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I
offer <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/decoction-how-to.html">custom herbal formulary</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">along with<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/consultation.html"> consultation</a>, education, guidance, and support</span>. Let me tell
you what this entails, and about <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/melissas-background-and-philosophy.html">my background and philosophy</a>, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to see if we are a good match. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Together, we will get to the root of your concern(s). I don't just deal with the branches, the symptoms - I get to the root. For instance, headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, menstrual cramps, etc. [insert what is troubling YOU here], all have many possible reasons they may be happening. You need to get to the root, determine the reason and address it by choosing the right herbs for the job, to truly do deep, lasting Herbalism work. This is where my many years of study and practice with both the plants and the states of the human body come in. <b>I will take the time, and I have the understanding, to SEE your body and then formulate <i>specifically for you.</i> There is no one-size-fits-all answer to health issues; that is not how I practice. I offer you something more.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">By addressing the root, returning the body to balance, the symptoms go away. As an example, if you have a headache, I won't just give you a pain killer, I will ascertain *why* you are having headaches and address that. By addressing the root with the right combination of herbs and diet, the headaches go away for good. It may take some time, and during this time, I'll make sure you have symptom relief. Having headaches, and many other "common" ailments, is not normal or healthy. <b>Contact me and we can get to the bottom of your concerns today, to restore your well-being on a deep and lasting level. </b></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
will work with you when you're at your wit's end and have not gotten
the help you need anywhere else, and this if often the case as many come to Herbalism as a last resort, but it's
much better that you come sooner, if possible. Generally the longer you have been unwell, the longer it takes to get back on track. <i>I also work
preventatively; there is no health concern too small. </i> Or large for that
matter; I will consult with you on *any* health concern, acute or
chronic - and any age from infant into the 100s.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I need to state right off that I do not
work with people taking certain/most pharmaceuticals. I make exceptions for a few things like thyroid hormones, inhalers, birth control, insulin for type 1 Diabetics, etc.... contact me if you are not sure. I realize this rules many
out and I apologize. This is because pharmaceuticals have many side
effects, contraindications, and interactions and it is not my area of
expertise. In this litigious society, I do not want the liability of
working with someone also taking pharmaceuticals, as unfortunately
the herbs and Herbalist are often the one to get the blame regardless. If you
and your doctor have decided you want to transition off
pharmaceuticals; I am willing to work alongside both you and your doctor in the
transition, but I cannot legally recommend or oversee anyone stopping pharmaceuticals, otherwise...</span><br />

To begin, you will fill out my <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/intake-and-consent-form.html">intake</a>,
which is an extensive questionaire – this is so that I can “know” you, know
your specific body/mind, your specific ecosystem, and its interaction
with the greater ecosystem that surrounds you. I see each person as
an individual, with your own constitution and current state of
balance/imbalance. I look at the <b>whole</b> as everything is
connected, nothing separate. Each detail influences the big
picture.</div>

Once I have your intake and have reviewed it, we
will communicate via email or skype to clarify details, then I will
spend some time immersed in a focus on you and your current dynamics to determine the course of action and create a formula, then we will connect again for
consultation. This will include education/recommendations on
lifestyle and diet and a custom herbal formula which I will ship to you; the custom herbal formula is included
free (a $50-100 value). Usually I create <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/decoction-how-to.html">decoction</a> formulas as this is a strong and
powerful way to ingest herbs. Being able to customize to this degree
means the formula is very specific to YOU, <b>here now</b>. Sometimes I
utilize infusion formulas and/or tinctures, and as needed, external
applications. I have about 250 herbs available in my
apothecary for decoctions and other formulary and also make a product
line, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RavenwindBotanica/?fref=ts">Ravenwind Botanica</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you prefer I can recommend
tablets/capsules that you can order online from a company that makes
these. This latter offer means it is much less custom, though still
chosen specific to your situation, but it means you needn't make or
drink the decoction - this is what works best for some. The
decoction is what I prefer you do, you will get results faster, but
it takes some time for you to make it and it often does not taste good to the
average palate. I admit, being a long-time Herbalist, I love the
taste of many roots, and bark, and leaves, even the bitter ones –
because I have experienced the good they do!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Each consult, whether initial or
follow-up, includes my answering your questions and supporting you as
you go, along with monitoring the process and responding as needed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>True Herbalism is not a “take this
for that” or a “one size fits all” type of practice. My
understanding and what I will share with you goes deeper than that.
I will get to know you and your specific situation and offer you a
customized response to achieve real and lasting results for your
concerns.</i></b></span></div>

My Herbalism path ultimately began with
my life-long fascination with the world around me, especially the
natural world, as I was given free reign in the countryside and
woodlands throughout my childhood, even though I wasn't raised with
much direct exposure to herbs specifically. Celestial Seasonings tea
was about it. I did however, become intimate with many plants, who
were my childhood companions, and whom I would later utilize for
health: Yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace, Dandelion, Chicory, Burdock,
Plantain to name a few. I didn't get direct exposure until 1993 at
the age of 19 when I serendipitously began working at a
greenhouse/nursery that specialized in herbs – <i>Blue Ridge
Botanicals</i> – growing over 200 varieties. I always held a fondness for
and connection with plants, so naturally, I immediately became
fascinated with these wondrous plants called herbs with spectacular
smells, and lo and behold, a multitude of uses for us, including much
to offer for our health.</div>

I immersed myself at once in the vast
study of Herbs, and haven't looked back. I've always been an avid
reader and am heavily self-taught. I read Materia Medicas and other
non-fiction for fun, and for hours a day. I've not owned a
television during these decades, preferring to read on my favorite,
captivating topics: Plants, Health, Philosophy.<br />

Back in '93 I also began ingesting the
herbs, taking them all the time. So much so that a boyfriend at the
time called me a hypochondriac because I took medicinal herbs daily. I guess he didn't realize that not
only is there such a thing as preventative care, but also that
regular ingestion of various plants is very good for us – we get
different nutrients, tastes, and regulating and balancing effects from them.
In other words, they aren't just for when you feel really unwell,
though of course they are of benefit then too. There is a spectrum
that goes like this:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Food
<------------------>Medicine<-------------------->Poison</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What matters is the dose. Herbs run
the full spectrum. Almost daily consumption, as I have done for almost 30 years, is a healthy part of life (and also super educational for me
in understanding herbs). Some herbs being more food-like, are
consumed in larger quantities more frequently, others more
poison-like are only administered to the right person at the right
time. And still others fall somewhere in the middle... Being a
trained and experienced Herbalist, I can help you determine which
ones are right for you in this moment...</div>

For me, and this is something I
recommend my apprentices do often, ingesting herbs is a great way to
get to know them. So is growing them. I am not suggesting that you,
as my Herbalism client, need to do this, unless of course you want
to, but want you to know that I have done this a lot and still do;
hardly a day has gone by since 1993 that I have not ingested herbs.
The point being that not only is my knowledge from extensive study,
but also from direct experience (either in myself or a friend or client). In
addition, I have spent the majority of my career directly involved
with the living plants themselves, whether that is in the wild or in
the garden, or that magic place where these two meet. I've done this
either gardening at home, or as an organic landscaper (my main source
of income, I currently own and operate a landscaping business –<i>
Metamorphosis Plantscapes</i>). I know many herbs intimately from seed
to harvest to herbal remedy. They are quite the teachers themselves.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
These fields of Horticulture and
Herbalism may seem to not be that related, but actually they are
completely related for me because I see the garden and the human body
with a similar mindset. When care-taking either I look for places of
balance/imbalance. I nourish the terrain to feed the branches/body.
I look at the whole, not taking one part out and considering it
separate, as nothing is truly separate in our world. I look for the
root of any problems I see, rather than just putting a patch on the
symptoms; I attempt to get at the cause and rectify things there –
for good. I aim to create an ecosystem, whether it is a garden or
body, that is healthy and vibrant throughout. The body and life
itself, has an amazing, innate healing force within it. I attempt to
support this and, as my Herbalism client, to support you, in having
this flourish.<br />

Since my early Herbalist years I have
helped myself, those closest to me, and my cats with herbs. In 2008
I began seeing clients broadly as a Clinical Herbalist. That same year, I began my study of
TCM, <i>Traditional Chinese Medicine</i>, by starting the professional
course at <a href="https://www.planetherbs.com/herbal-courses/36-lesson-professional-herbalist-course.html">East West School of Planetary Herbology</a>. I wish I had
begun this sooner because TCM is profound. I am thankful at least
that I discovered Eastern philosophy in my early teenage years (I
spent my free time at the library); it really spoke to me and I read
everything on that topic I could get my hands on – it guided my
life. This early immersion in Eastern philosophy laid a good
foundation of understanding when I finally began my study of TCM. I
am enamored with this thousands-of-years-old tradition of
diagnostics, herbal energetics, and formulary. It has added much to
my Herbalism and is a large part of how I practice now. I utilize
herbs from many traditions, including some from Ayurveda, but my
understanding of the body and the plants is largely orchestrated from
TCM and Western traditions.</div>

<br />
There have been two times over these
decades that I did not do Horticulture for a living. Well make that
three, I did a brief stint as a florist, but other than that being
art, it is not too related to Herbalism. I managed a health food store, <i>Valley
Farms Natural Foods</i>, for a couple years. This was back in the late
90s when you couldn't find health food, or supplements, or herbs, at
the grocery store. It was a good experience because I got to see
that area of Herbalism where the focus is largely on “active
constituents” and, on the other hand, self-help. I am all for
people taking their health into their own hands and think it's a very
important undertaking – one that I fully support, but I am disillusioned
with the idea of an herb only having one active constituent. Herbs
work together, again as a <b>whole</b>, often synergistically, and
are naturally interactive with the human body. Taking one thing out
and concentrating it makes it more like a drug, more likely to have
side effects – and also patent-able and profitable, wink wink. Herbs taken
“in context,” meaning in their whole form, don't confuse the
body. You practically eliminate side effects when the right herb(s)
are taken for the right person at the right time and in the right
combination. Formulas are more than the sum of their parts. The custom formula I will make for you will be specifically tailored to YOU.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I understand that people need to make a
living, myself included, but I am not in this for monetary profit; I
am in it for health: yours, mine, the whole world... I do my part by
doing what I can in my immediate environment, whether that is with
people, places, plants. I am wary of profit being a motive in
science and health, with drugs and other patent-able things being what gets
funded, while something simple, but miraculous, that you can grow in
your yard, gets ignored, or worse, denigrated. <i>I prefer to look to
long-standing, deep tradition and direct, intimate experience for my
understanding</i>. I do consider science in my understanding, but only
after determining if it's actually valid – something that I took an
entire class on in college, scientific validity that is, along with
taking statistics to understand the math behind it. Both classes
were required for my major. I have a B.S. in Psychology; graduated
with honors in 1995, and minored in Philosophy and Environmental
Science. I find the link between emotions and health a strong one with each feeding the other in a mutual feedback loop. <i>Herbs can be very helpful in improving emotional situations too.

I also spent a couple years working as

with the opportunity to put my eyes and hands on books that were
created (literally hand-written and drawn on vellum) when the “New
World” was being explored including some actual copies of the first
Western Herbals, including Culpeper, Gerard, and many more. I assisted with research and editing of a book that
was begun while I worked there: <i><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="a-size-large" id="productTitle">'An

I have studied with many
Herbalists and TCM practitioners over the years including Michael and
Lesley Tierra, Brendan Kelly, Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, Harriet Beinfield, Efrem
Korngold, 7Song, Kathleen Maier, Phyllis D. Light, Benjamin Zappin, Thomas Easley, Christopher Hobbs, Sean Donahue, Jim McDonald, Paul Bergner, Kiki
Geary, Guido Mase, Roy Upton, Miles Coleman, Susan Kramer, Matthew
Wood, David Winston, and more... I've read the books and articles of
so many others... a few whose work I am especially fond of are Kiva Rose, Lonny
Jarrett, and Heiner Fruehauf. Perhaps I will study with them someday, but have given up flying, so that limits me. I am a member of the <a href="http://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/mission">American Herbalist Guild</a>.</div>

I've spent most of my working years
working for myself. In my first business, began in 1997, <i>Serenity
Gardens</i>, I grew and sold potted organic herbs and perennials, herbal
wreaths, and fresh bouquets at Farmer's Markets. My current
business, <i>Metamorphosis Plantscapes & Artworks, LLC</i>, began in
2006; in this I offer Landscaping, Art, and Herbalism. Another
aspect of my arts that I offer to the public are collage
workshops and one-on-one sessions, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/426001877542167/?ref=br_tf">Renew and Release: Collage as aTool for Transformation.</a> I also work intimately with another lover
of plants, the honeybee. I have been a natural, treatment-free beekeeper since 2007. I achieved black belt in Tae Kwon Do in 2008, have completed Reiki level I training, and otherwise work on an energetic level with various internal practices personally. I am a long-time meditator and dabble with (not trained) Yoga, Chi Nei Tsang, Qigong, Shiatsu, Shamanic Journeying, Shadowwork, Somatic practice, and the like on a regular basis.<br />

I am a '<a href="http://www.awakeninthedream.com/the-wounded-healer-part-1/">Wounded Healer</a>' having
experienced severe trauma which I worked through. <br />
In addition, I am Lyme-literate, having been initiated
into the understanding of living with dis-ease when I acquired Lyme
in 2011. I was very sick and it took years to resolve,. Admittedly I do not feel
confident that Lyme is not a lifelong relationship with a bacteria we
can only hope to keep in dormancy. Nonetheless I am better now and have been well for years. <i>Both of t<span style="font-size: medium;">hese experiences mixed

<br />
<br />
INFORMED CONSENT<br />
<br />
We
both understand that only a physician (MD) can diagnose, treat, and
prescribe medicines for illness or disease. As an herbalist, and not a medical doctor, I neither diagnose nor treat disease but recommend herbs, dietary,
lifestyle and other modalities to help the body-mind to achieve optimal
physical and emotional well-being. Any mention to named diseases is
referenced as a part of the overall assessment and condition of the client. <br />
<br />
I understand that the human body has the innate power
to heal itself. Without this power to self-heal, even the most advanced
medications and surgical procedures would ultimately fail. The role of
the herbalist in this healing process is to consider the client as a
whole person and to make suggestions in lifestyle, diet, and
supplementation of herbs and/or vitamins to foster an increased state of
balance and health with the intention of optimizing the body's
self-healing capabilities. <br />
<br />
As appropriate and necessary, I
encourage and advise clients to seek professional medical advice
regarding any illness or disease they are suffering from. Background
health information can aid in the process of a holistic, herbal program
and therefore can be shared at the time of the herbal consultation. Any
concerns about your health and supplementation with herbs or diet should
be done in consultation with your doctor. This consultation with me is not a substitute for that.<br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;">Be
sure to mix up formula since it settles so that you are getting a

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;">A
glass pot is ideal, second best is enamel or stainless steel - do not
use other metals. I find it easiest to use a pot with a pour spout
on the edge (or you could strain it into a large measuring cup -
these usually have pour spouts). A wire mesh strainer works well for
the non-powder ingredients. If there is only a little powder, you
can just let it settle to the bottom after straining and then pour
off leaving the powder in the bottom to re-use or discard depending
on the day.</span></span></span></div>

<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">If
there are a lot of powdered herbs in your blend, you need not concern
yourself with straining completely the first day; you want to re-use
this powder in your second decoction. On the second day, after
decocting, use a coffee filter or the like and squeeze out all liquid
(to drink) before discarding marc. It is okay (but not needed) to
drink the powder (though maybe not pleasant).<br />
<br />
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US"><i>This
is a two week supply since you use the herbs twice. </i></span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">You
should re-use the <br />
herbs the next day (same directions) or you
can just repeat immediately after making first <br />
batch and then
mix the two results together, half the liquid and use for two <br />
days.
Discard marc after simmering twice. This re-using is done because
the first decoction extracts the more volatile constituents (which
get destroyed through a longer decoction), while the second decoction
is for constituents harder to extract.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;">If
you do not drink all of your daily amount, just have it the next day.
It will keep in the fridge up to 4 days, same with the marc (so you
could make a double batch at once). If you need to keep it for
longer freeze it. Make sure to get it to at least room temperature
before drinking. If you skip a day or days, just continue when you
can.</span></span></span></div>

<div align="left" style="line-height: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: small;">Otherwise,
keep me posted of any physical changes (for instance headaches,
changes in bowel, sweating, stomach pain, etc.) Any symptoms you
might experience with taking the formula are very telling and are
part of determining what is imbalanced; any unpleasant reactions can
be remedied. Let me know when you get close to finished with your
present batch and we can discuss where you are at and I’ll
reformulate and get another batch ready.</span></span></span></div>

start with a 2 week supply so that we can see how you respond; this
tells me more about your body’s state and I may want to tweak the
formula for your next 2 week batch. As you change, your formula
often changes too.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Initial
Herbalism Consulation</b></span> - $215<br />
(save $100 off the $315 rate for filling out the intake
yourself, see below)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Includes <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/intake-and-consent-form.html">Intake</a> receipt and analysis,
clarification discussions, <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/consultation.html">Consultation</a> including Lifestyle and
Dietary Recommendations and Protocol with Follow-up Consultations for
two weeks after your receipt of your <a href="http://ravenwindbotanica.blogspot.com/2016/05/decoction-how-to.html">Custom Formula</a> <b>(2 weeks worth of
herbs, a $50-100 value), which are included free and shipped to you</b>. I also include recommended acupressure points, when applicable, that you can use to improve your situation.<br />
<br />
***Quite often,
especially with chronic or deep-seated issues, herbs will need to be
taken for months, and your formula modified along the way. Once you
have done the Initial Consultation, you then go to the Follow-Up
Consultation price as long as you are my regular client, even if your
situation changes.<br />
<br />
<b>Please send me a filled out intake, a signed consent form, and a tongue picture <i>before</i> paying. </b> You do not have to do this, but if you pay and then don't follow through and request a refund, there is a $40 fee, so you will only be refunded $175. Once you have turned in your intake and paid, there is no refund, as I will have begun my work that you are paying me for.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt;">"About a year ago, I <wbr></wbr>contacted Melissa with a <wbr></wbr>growing health problem that I <wbr></wbr>was unable to address on my <wbr></wbr>own. I had fallen into a <wbr></wbr>darkness, a crippling <wbr></wbr>depression with bouts of <wbr></wbr>severe anxiety, frequent <wbr></wbr>panic attacks, and migraines. <wbr></wbr>Melissa quickly responded, <wbr></wbr>full of kindness, compassion, <wbr></wbr>and sensitivity, recognizing <wbr></wbr>the need for urgency in my <wbr></wbr>call for help. Over the <wbr></wbr>following months, she <wbr></wbr>provided me with various <wbr></wbr>decoctions, infusions, <wbr></wbr>tinctures, and countless <wbr></wbr>knowledgeable suggestions for <wbr></wbr>dietary and lifestyle <wbr></wbr>modifications. She diligently <wbr></wbr>touched base with me and <wbr></wbr>adjusted her treatment plan <wbr></wbr>as things began to change. <wbr></wbr>Together, after a few months <wbr></wbr>of dedication, we were <wbr></wbr>finally able to achieve a <wbr></wbr>state of restored balance <wbr></wbr>physically, mentally, <wbr></wbr>emotionally, and spiritually. <wbr></wbr>Now, almost a full year later,<wbr></wbr> I’m living a more healthy <wbr></wbr>and happy life than I have in <wbr></wbr>a long time. I could not have <wbr></wbr>achieved this wonderful state <wbr></wbr>of overall health and <wbr></wbr>homeostasis without Melissa, <wbr></wbr>a wonderful, passionate, well-<wbr></wbr>educated, and incredibly <wbr></wbr>talented woman."</span></div>

really appreciate Melissa's time and effort toward helping me find a
healthy balance in my life. She took the time to see me in person and to
ask extensive questions to ensure she provided me the most accurate
herbs for my situation. I loved her attention to detail as well as
providing me with information regarding her herbal protocol so that I
learned what I was putting into my body. I am appreciative of her
talents and knowledge, and recommend her to anyone that wants to find
balance for healing. Working with Melissa was a fantastic experience! "</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">"I sought Melissa's help for a sexual issue and a digestive issue.</span> Her
approach was completely holistic, and involved herbal concoctions,
diet education and recommendations, and also addressed issues of
psychology and mindfulness. </div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
Both of my issues have been completely resolved, and in <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">general I am in better health and feel better than I have in many years. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> An</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> interesting
aside is that I have had zero allergies for the past 9 months, whereas
before I would have allergies in the spring and fall and would take
Claritin for extended periods. Also, while I have never been prone to
sickness beyond the occasional cold, I haven't even had a cold since
beginning her protocol.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Melissa
is knowledgeable, insightful, and dedicated to her work as a healer (a
label that she is reluctant to accept). Her
protocol was not a quick fix, but rather was a pervasive reworking of
some aspects of my life, and I'm much the better for it. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I recommend her highly."</span></div>
