My recommendations are based on personal contact, belief, collaboration, experience, exposure and (in certain cases) naked hot tub time & impromptu trips to Vegas.

The following pros represent the best of the best of my professional orbit, and I trust them implicitly.

Business strategy, life clarity & coaching galore.

Michelle Ward | A life-altering career coach with theatrical verve, vim & vigor, and a heart the size of Central Park.
Under her tutelage, I lunged from 9-to-5-er to full-tilt entrepreneur. I am forever indebted to Ms. Ward.

Danielle LaPorte | She's offically 'retired' from 1-on-1 consulting, but there's a book (and book tour) on the horizon, along with other fiery touch-points. Get on her list. Read all her work. And prepare for white-hot revelations.

Erika Lyremark | Cashflow-centric life design for your red-carpet dream...from green smoothies to sleep cycles to deadline-setting, Lyremark's got the whip for your woes.

Marie Forleo | Forleo's biz-building events & programs are impeccable. Her commitment to her audience, ironclad. She delivers precisely what she promises. And you rise to meet her, there.

Maria Ross | Sky-high-level branding, marketing & communications strategy, with a focus on startups and petite-sized businesses. Maria is neon-bright & usually right...about everything.

Inner rumblings, energetics & the invisible sludge that's holding you back.

Dyana Valentine | If you need to be Witnessed, by a witchy woman who knows wazzup, you need to get woken up by DyVa. It's moving. It's messy. And it's major.

Pace Smith | My self-love wizardess, with a gift for deep listening, deeper pausing, & shadowy pattern detection. I curl into a fetal position & weep, every time we get on the line. It's marvelous!

Amy Oscar | A seasoned intuitive reader with heart-opening insights that lovingly cradle ancient inner conflicts...and scorch away the fog. Soften your skepticism & let your true gifts be illuminated by a woman who knows.

Goddess Star Monroe | When Star tells you to "take exquisite care of yourself," you listen. And you adjust your daily rituals accordingly. A gorgeous mind-body-sensuality coach, inside & out.

Hiro Boga | Transformative energy techniques that are anything but "woo-woo." I adore her impish spirit and unending compassion. Her classes & retreats are not to be missed.

Your website, your products, your presence—made beautiful.

Paul Jarvis | A freakishly efficient WordPress master, with a rare blend of back-end techy & front-end design skills. I've seen innumerable websites go from janky-town to holy-wow, under his care. Plus, he adopts llamas, for funzies.

Marie Poulin | Beautifully feminine (but not frilly) web strategy, design & code. She's got her eye on the user's experience, and her attention to navigational flow really shows. Did I mention she plays Gaelic rugby? That, too.

Natasha Lakos | Creative direction & identity design for 'preneurs who want to make an unforgettable impression, online & off. Her work is distinctive, crisp & elegant—like a couture evening gown, gone digital.

Rebecca Pollock | My go-to graphic design whizkid. Efficient, hyper-intelligent, and never afraid to push back when my ideas are utter rubbish. Mad respect.

Catherine Vo | Wordpress creatrix & coder extraordinaire. She partnered with Pollock (see above) on the site you're looking at right now, as well as my blog.

Erin Wigger | She heals sick WordPress themes as her alter-ego, Your Blog Doctor. Perfect for those times when you need a quick makeover, not a full-on re-launch.

Angie Wheeler | A lickety-split Virtual Assistant & social media dynamo, with numerous hidden talents. Unflappable in the face of pre-launch insanity & a clear, confident communicator, to boot. Bravo!

Hillary Weiss & Cassie Oswald | WordPress finagling, PDF prettification, & crunch-time copyediting you can count on. These ladies are destined for Bignesss, so catch 'em while you can.

Shenee Howard | An exuberant story-awesomizer, with the profitable-product-in-one-week whiparound package you've been waiting for. She's got just the right amount of hustle in her bustle.

Aurora Armijo | Thoughtful, evocative illustrations for everything from Twitter avatars & blog headers to band t-shirts & merchandise. A dreamy creature, with talent for miles.

More! Wordsmiths to scope out ('cause my custom-order clones haven't arrived, yet...)

Sarah Von Bargen | Cheeky, lively & wordly webcopy, with an emphasis on lifestyle, travel, crafting & beauty. Turn to Sarah for anything with an under-30 lady-like demographic. For starters.

Copylicious | The Copylicious mistress of storytelling, messaging & intrigue. Her webcopy virtually guarantees clicks, views, tweets (and sales). She’s that sharp.

Emma Alvarez Gibson | Razor-sharp wit that can trot confidently through corporate & garage-rock circles, alike. She's brilliant with taglines, and other pithy punches of POW.

Ashley Ambirge | Foul-mouthed, brazen, well-traveled, hysterical...and brilliant with biz copy that channels your intrinsic hipness onto the screen, and into the world.

Corinne Bowen | Gracious & glowing webcopy for wellness, fitness, yoga & alt-lifestyle brands. Clued into the markets she serves, and most certainly walking (and omming) her talk.
