"You are one of the most inspiring and brave people I have ever met and I will always be grateful for that.

Sharing your story was so important and special.

I truly believe that people all over the world should see the show, hear and listen..."

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us your work and being vulnerable and real with us. It was truly beautiful and powerful. I left the room feeling loved and inspired. I went home and cried.

It's rare to find a teacher who will be open and talk about life outside of dance or even mention mental health. I connected with a lot of things you said and it made me feel less alone. I think what you're doing is so incredibly important.

I hope and pray that you can continue to share your story with the world because people out there need this!

Mental health is the conversation we need to be having and no we are not talking about it in the way we should. Out loud and unapologetically, so others can find hope and help. You showed us how powerful that can be!

Questioning my own self. Asking myself, “is there more I need to know about myself?”

Looking at situations in my own life.

Artists are called generous and brave for a reason and you were those in abundance today...

It was truly impressive that you were able to accomplish that because the subject matter being your own life and a very challenging set of facts make it hard to avoid those qualities that make a solo show so tricky...

Keep going. It is beautiful.

You and your team smashed it! You told me the last time I saw you that all you wanted to accomplish was leave people with hope, and you 10000% achieved that...

I was also reminded how powerful art is and how essential it is!... I hope and pray that you can continue to share your story with the world because people out there need this!... I think what you're doing is so incredibly important.

“I am so grateful that you opened your heart and story to us. I love that you are creating art and awareness about this… I’m excited to see where this show goes!”

... brought me awareness around how easy it can be for bipolar disorder, and several other mental health conditions, to go undiagnosed into adulthood and in many cases our whole life.

I have been inspired by Chryssie for the way she has shown up for herself, staying focused on her self-care, and for bringing this helpful and vulnerable conversation to light.

I highly recommend to several of my patients and everyone who can benefit, to watch this play, because it gives hope to anyone who is struggling with mental health.
