Kind Words

I’ve had the privilege of working with dozens of heart-centered leaders who were ready to embody their higher selves, and helped them step into their next stage of life by turning their inner transformation into an outer transformation. Read their heartfelt testimonials below about their experiences working with me both virtually and in-person

I always knew I was going to work with Ariel. The way she sees clients as a whole person, the way she integrates who they are into how they dress, is something I wanted for myself.

Working with Ariel was like working with a trusted friend who genuinely cared, who listened, and co-created with me. I also just felt so incredibly cared for, like I was her only client.

On the day of the shoot, I was not nervous at ALL, I knew exactly what to do, and was better able to prep my photographer. I felt like such a boss! My favorite thing about the experience was how genuinely HYPED Ariel was for me! Her excitement and her conviction were infectious. I loved her live Voxer voice note reaction to seeing my photo gallery shoot. I felt like a million dollars.

I raised my rates immediately after getting my photos back, not "just" because of the photos, but because I was able to see myself as the multi-six-figure badass coach I already was.

I now realized that your style doesn't have to be one-dimensional. It's meant to express different parts of you. I feel more confident incorporating cultural elements into my style in an elevated way. I also feel more confident bringing subtle sexiness into my style after having told myself I wasn't allowed to do that anymore because I was a mom, or because I had gained weight.

I approached Ariel because I didn’t know how to articulate my style, and shopping overwhelmed me.

Ariel is a great listener and is trauma-informed when it comes to bodywork, which is really important. She came up with great ideas and provided the language for what my style is. She is organized and prompt, too. It’s been amazing!

I didn’t expect things to be so simple and easy when it comes to my personal style. I loved Ariel’s eye for design and the clothing options she provided. Now I know where to shop, how to shop, and what to look out for.

The whole experience made me realize that style is an important function to growing a business and building your identity. It’s crucial. 


The Star-Aligned Style Reading was such a fun and relaxing session! I felt so well taken care of and heard. Ariel was attentive and resolved any comments or concerns I had!

I absolutely LOVED how detailed and organized the experience was. I came to the intensive thinking I knew enough about astrology but I kept learning more about myself, especially when it comes to my styling choices. Everything just clicked and made it more clear on HOW I can be more courageous and change up my style in a way that still feels like ME.

Ariel was able to highlight the style I've always desired to have but have been too nervous to approach. She showed me how I can introduce certain pieces slowly so that I felt comfortable AND confident. I loved the shopping list part of the report because it clarified exactly what I need to do to take action.

I always feel good when I look good, so this was an investment I wanted to make as a way to take care of myself. My perspective on style definitely changed as I’ve started thinking about how I can introduce pieces to my wardrobe to continue showing up as my best self.

I’ve watched how Ariel embodies what she preaches. She exudes confidence — it's like magic and I wanted that magic as well!

My favorite thing about the experience was how close to detail Ariel was. She was able to take my thoughts and turn them into an accurate concept.

She gave me permission to be unique and different. She made it fun, which I truly was not expecting at all since clothes shopping has usually always felt like a chore. Now, I get so excited to shop, truly! I get pumped finding outfits to put together and I've up-leveled where I shop.

Before, I knew people dressed differently but I thought we all had to follow the same trend, but that isn't true at all. Style is a form of self-expression and we all express ourselves differently.

Working with Ariel was magical! I always felt very seen and heard. I loved how she validated my thoughts and helped me expand the way I viewed expressing myself.

—Charity


Before Ariel, I was confused about how to shop for clothes that made me look and feel good. Now, I can select clothes pieces that make me feel good with confidence.

Working with Ariel truly felt like I was hanging out with a friend. It made the experience so fun and enjoyable. Her warmth, friendliness, and positive spirit helped me come out of my shell and be more myself.

I love how attuned she was to selecting outfits that fit my body type & height, fashion style, and colors that complemented my skin tone. Even when Ariel had selected a few pieces that I would never have even considered looking at before, I had trust in her expertise.

And lo and behold, they looked absolutely stunning on me! She empowered me to have the confidence to push myself outside of my fashion comfort zone.

I truly felt like Ariel understood me, even from our first discovery call, and that connection lasted throughout our sessions together and beyond. I can't wait to work with Ariel again in the future!

Ariel was an absolute joy to work with! She was able to curate the most beautiful pieces for my brand photoshoot and style refresh.

I loved Ariel’s welcoming energy, her personal touches, and attention to detail. She has a beautiful eye for fashion – so so talented!

She helped me get out of my comfort zone while helping me honor my essence so I could embody my most expansive self through my wardrobe. I feel so much more confident about my style and I learned to see the importance of investing in my wardrobe to embody my higher self.

I had been wanting to uplevel my personal style for a while and was curious about what a styling session entailed.

Working with Ariel was SO fun. It felt like I was working with my bestie, but like... a super organized, knowledgable one that actually gets things done! I looooved that Ariel used astrology and was able to refer to my chart to help explain what they had to do with my style.

I was so impressed by how much Ariel understood exactly what I was going for — it was like she reached into my brain and extricated the exact vibes, and then created a personal style board to showcase it all.

She deeply understood how this shoot and subsequent style update tied in so deeply with the person I'm becoming. Not to mention, she was just EXCITED for me and already believed I am that person, which helped me release any reservations I had about the style change and move directly into a space of embodying that change.

I loved how collaborative it all was! Ariel really listens to you and works with you to help you curate your ideal style board and inspire you to embody the most confident version of yourself through your style.

I've always thought style is much deeper than just clothes, but working with Ariel helped me see how my style can even help me embody who I want to become. THANK YOU, ARIEL!

I approached Ariel because I needed some help for a photoshoot and wanted to do some personal styling!

Ariel is such a professional, super communicative, compassionate, fun, and amazing at what she does. My favorite thing about the experience was having Ariel give her expert feedback and bring my vision to life. It was so nice to create a personal style that I could ground into and that worked for ME.

She empowered me by giving me tips on styling better for my body type, and helping me see things differently in terms of what I think I "should" and "should not" wear! Now I know that I can wear comfy clothes that are also cute and I get to define what ‘professional’ is to me.

Ariel saw me inside and out, and she brought my vision to feel confidently beautiful in my own clothes to life.

Before Ariel, I was feeling overwhelmed and not confident in my abilities to feel like a corporate baddie in my element. Working with her was amazing, she made me feel safe and the whole process smooth and simple.

She made me realize how much I could do with what I already had, I don't need to be a certain size or weight to then be able to fit into clothes and feel beautiful.

Ariel also taught me that I didn't have to think outside the box, but rather elevate myself with the clothes I already had that made me feel sexy.

You won’t regret working with Ariel — she is amazing!

I've always struggled with style as I was not the typical "girly-girl." I definitely always felt like an ugly duckling and the thought of going shopping always brought up so much anxiety. 

I recently went through a major process of death and rebirth and wanted to finally identify my personal style outside of what was expected based on my job. I found Ariel particularly approachable and she brought a lot of ease in our first conversation, reassuring me that the process of identifying my personal style would be fun.

My favorite thing about the experience was seeing the ideas come to life. Ariel has an intuitive and creative skillset in receiving and digesting ideas and then finding the looks that match. If there was a look that didn't totally sit right, Ariel quickly found adaptations that better fit the vibe, which helped combat defeatist reactions I can have when it comes to fashion. Her energy was always a mix of calm, affirming, attentive, and visionary.

I wasn't expecting the astrology and music aspects to connect with my personal style. I'm a big-time earth sign, so she incorporated a lot of earthy elements but also other elements that I wanted to call in more intentionally. Ariel also provided a personalized playlist that definitely made the process even more fun!

Now, I feel more empowered and grounded in the choices I make. I feel I have more of a personalized formula that eases much of the anxiety and tension when selecting an outfit for the day. I’ve also found a playful curiosity that makes finding new clothes engaging and liberating, because I no longer feel I have to fit into a specific box of what a "girly-girl" is supposed to be.

Absolutely amazing experience! Thank you Ariel for kickstarting my journey into my personal style as it continues to evolve.

“She helped give me the tools to become the best version of myself and it made me realize that it was within me all along. This whole process was completely life-changing and it gave me a new perspective on not just how others see me, but on how I see myself.”

I approached Ariel because I wanted to uplevel my business brand with my style. I had booked a photoshoot and I wanted to make sure that I not only looked good, but that my style reflected me and my business.

My favorite thing about working with Ariel was getting the focus and attention I wanted on me! I had never been helped professionally with my style before. And while I knew what looked good, I just couldn't figure out how to find something for myself that made me feel next level.

Ariel recognized parts of me that wanted to shine that I just didn't know how to express. What I loved most was the gentle and empowering way she did it. Now that I have the tools to understand how my style and personality fit, I can better style myself with my day-to-day looks.

Working with Ariel was so easy! I recommend her to everyone I know. I know it's a big investment, but totally worth it!

—Norma

Before Ariel, I would buy things thinking that I would like them, but when I wore them later, it didn't feel right. I also felt bored of my own clothes and tended to buy lower-quality items that didn't last as long. I wanted someone to select clothes for me so that I could keep that in mind when shopping for myself in the future.

It was such an enlightening experience working with Ariel! She showed me what works for me and my skin tone, and also pushed me a little out of my comfort zone.

Ariel affirmed my desire to dress more classic and sophisticated. She also offered an avenue for incorporating more color, patterns, and edge while still looking professional and effortless.

Now I'm much more selective about what I buy and I feel more comfortable wearing the same outfits again.

Ariel’s perspective on styling and fashion extends beyond the latest trends. She champions individuality and inspires her clients to ask more important questions:

- How can my style embody the aspects of myself that I love and have yet to discover?

- What would I choose to wear if I believed I was enough, if I simply allowed myself to be?

Ariel has allowed her experiences to shape her life and her work, resulting in a transformative styling approach filled with empathy, enjoyment, and adventure. She is a gem and her approach to fashion is pure magic.
