"I remember watching Paul teach a class for the first time , listening to his incredible music and being mesmerized by the interaction between his therapy dog Chi and the clients he was working with. You could see their faces transform into smiles and laughter as Chi walked up to each person excitedly loving the attention they were giving him. What joy therapy dogs can give!!! I know Paul's clients love the music he shares and have also come to love his therapy dog Tai as he follows in Chi's footsteps bringing comfort joy and laughter to those he meets:)"

"Paul is an exceptional yoga instructor who creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for all skill levels. His therapy dog, Tai, is an absolute delight and brings an extra layer of calm and joy to every session. Tai's gentle and soothing presence makes each class even more special. Paul's patient and knowledgeable teaching style has significantly improved my practice. Highly recommend Paul's classes for anyone seeking a supportive and uplifting yoga experience enhanced by Tai's wonderful companionship."

"Paul makes a significant impact on the lives of the residents here at Lorien Harmony Hall. His performances are filled with energy and passion, and it's clear how much he loves what he does, even when the residents aren't as responsive. It's truly heartwarming to witness. Additionally, his comedic personality and the presence of his adorable dog only add to the joy of his performances."

"The entertainment Paul provided for my mom's 95th birthday party was amazing. She was the happiest I've seen in a very long time. Paul's music and interactions with her and the guests was exactly what they all needed. His precious sweet dog was an added special "treat" to everyone. Highly recommend Paul, his music and his therapy dog!"

"Paul is an excellent yin yoga instructor. He explains the benefit of each pose very well in terms that are easy for the student to understand. He also gives great suggestions on how to get into the pose so as to get the maximum benefit possible from it. Paul also recommends things you can do at home if you do not have yoga props with you so you can improvise with everyday household items. His personality makes the class even more fun. When you arrive Paul is always very courteous & lets the students go in the studio first. He always asks for feedback as to how beneficial was the practice on that day. Paul will also ask if there are certain poses the students would like to do & he will incorporate suggestions into future yoga classes. Tai is also very cute & a kind therapy dog especially when he comes over & lays or stands by you during class. He is kind & well behaved. I would recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a great, relaxing & beneficial yoga class. Dave Irwin"

"We have known Chi and Tai their whole lives. They have always been super comforting to have around and we even had the pleasure of watching them while Paul was out of town! (Our daughter especially loved the extra cuddles and responsibility) Having my own dog (pictured below) helped me immensely with my own anxiety and stress in life. I have always been impressed with the way Paul helps people and am amazed by how many people are helped by his therapy dogs. They are a true gift to so many people!"

"Paul is an amazing musician and connector with people! He brings so much life to the room and environment, especially when he brings his dogs. I especially remember Chi, who was so well-trained and brought joy to the people he interacted with. Fostering this sense of connection is incredibly important, especially to one's mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being."

"I've seen Paul perform at many facilities over the years. The residents/patients enjoy his playful banter in between his songs/exercise and his cute therapy dogs. Seeing him and his pups makes their day. Although Chi has passed, all the staff & residents loved him dearly!"
