"Brendan has all the qualities I could ask for in a teacher, endless patience and compassion for me, the ability to identify and address my own particular challenges and learning blocks, as well as always demanding my greatest efforts. He teaches beyond mere content, and instead strives to steer his students toward transcending disempowering attitudes and beliefs. More than anything else, Brendan has taught me the most valuable lesson: that I must take full responsibility for my own growth."
