inspiring & Empowering
Shelbie Purvis
Words cannot describe how grateful I am for [Mel]! She inspired me to create my own business, helped me come up with the most amazing ideas, and laid out a floor plan with exactly how to do it. I don’t know where I’d be without her, not just business wise. If you’re looking for someone who is passionate and who actually cares, she is the ONE.

She went over and beyond our expectations and we look forward to working with her again.
