Testimonials

  • "I'm as excited about it as you are and thrilled because this is where I think the movement is going."
    James Twyman

  • "I remember the excitement of beginning the process of creating my brand. Of course I needed a website! I was lost. I didn't know how to create a website or who I could trust with taking my ideas and bringing them to life. Through a recommendation I hired a company. It wasn't cheap. In total it was $5,000. When I received the finished product I can remember feeling disappointed. The pages were flat and lifeless.  In my mind and heart,  I envisioned people opening my website and being excited to learn about my business and about me. It was anything but that. I had to accept the product I had in front of me and move on,  since financially I was unable to pay for any redo's and their position was "they took the content I gave them and put it on the site."  Honestly, I didn't have the heart or desire to work with the team a second time since they couldn't take my ideas from my heart and transfer them to my media platform. Why would they get it right on the second go round? I had to accept the product. Fast forward to meeting Dr. Pat and her team; we worked together on creating a radio show and slowly as one thing led to another, the idea of a new website came into discussion. The first step was viewing other websites the team had created. There were 3 I went to check out. Each one blew me away! That's the reaction I dreamed about for mine! Each website I opened, I wanted to go from page to page; reading the services offered; learning about the person behind the site....I couldn't contain my excitement. Then reality set in for me. I thought, if I paid $5,000 for what I have, these sites must be triple that. I hesitantly asked about pricing and couldn't believe what I was quoted. I was in!!! I worked with the team closely and they were always open to receiving my content and ideas. There was always an open line of communication. They wanted to know about my business, about me and my message to the world. I would just keep feeding them information and they would go to work. Helpful is an understatement. I pulled together several videos for the site and the quality was lost in transfer. Without hesitation, Jesica said let's do it together and she helped me recreate each video!  She cared that everything would be perfect for the site. The team is full of professionalism and kindness. Everyone is in communication with each other about the projects they work on and have this perfect fluidity about them.  They work in perfect harmony.   I finally got to see the first pass at the site and I was literally blown away! Dr. Pat and her team took my words, my ideas and my business and brought it to life. It was everything I had dreamed about and so much more. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Pat and her team and will never forget the beautiful gift they have given me....my platform for my soul's message." - Jen Zelop

  • "I happened across your radio show this week, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of your guests as well as the energy shifts I have felt personally simply by listening. Perhaps it's the fact that I live less than a mile from the KKNW studio. I was particularly moved by the woman who talked about her experiences with Mother Teresa and by Gary Zukav. Both reflect the global and personal transformation and healing perspective I learned a great deal about from one of my primary teachers Buckminster Fuller." - Blessings

  • "Dr. Pat Bacilli is that rare intuitive Media Educator whose enthusiasm and prescience are "tuned in" far beyond the station. She can generate multidimensional sparks on the air--and possibly around you at home...Her deceptively concise interviews pack a lot more than information...and I suspect are broadcast to unlisted, "non-local" stations far far away...She delivers an "energy burst" more than an "interview." She also seems to know if you're onto something "new" before you do; pay attention to that. My suspicion is that, by design, you get more than "words" when you listen to Dr. Pat's interviews and can take in more information. That's just one woman's opinion from a Parallel Universe..."
    Sandra H. Rodman

  • "Over the past 7 months I have done over 100 TV and radio interviews. My appearances on the Dr.Pat Show were among my favorites, and here's why. Dr.Pat is for real! Her energy, well thought out intriguing questions (She sure knew my book material) and deep caring for her audience make her one the best hosts in the business. Dr. Pat's enthusiasm, wit and great listening skills energized me to co-create one of the best interviews an author, speaker like me could have. She serves her audience and her guests with grace, honor and a deep respect I have not witnessed anywhere else. Dr. Pat, you rock!!!"
