""Eco-Coach gives detailed and informative workshops and yet keeps the information organized very well, so I wasn't overwhelmed when attending their workshops. The presenter was absolutely friendly, knowledgeable, and very encouraging of questions and concerns from the audience. I felt I could ask questions about what I needed to know without feeling intimidated at all. They know their stuff and they're able to present it in a way where I'm able to apply the green tips immediately and see the difference right away in my life, my home and at work!"
