From Dr. Maria Perri, Chiropracter & CEO, Wellness Springs, Highland Mills, NY
I’ve been a Chiropractor in private practice since 1984. In 2000 I expanded and opened a multi-disciplinary Wellness Center which includes a full Day Spa and Yoga Studio.

In 2007, Barbara came on board to assist me with all aspects of Marketing, Advertising & Administrative Best Practices. Simply put, she is a get-it-done person. She helped me define my goals and put together an action plan of implementation. Her keen insights helped guide me through a process of organizing and prioritizing.

Foremost, we worked on enhancing our image in the community. We revised and standardized all of our many printed advertisements, forms, brochures, schedules and hand-outs so that all of our literature and advertising presented an upscale and professional image. Her graphic eye is outstanding. She took the time to understand what I really wanted our image to convey and she nailed it.

Then we continued to convey our new image by updating our website and most importantly enhancing our web presence. Barbara knew ways to optimize our placement on search engines. This service alone was invaluable to my business!

I knew that I needed to create an organizational board and have training manuals and a manual of standard operating procedures for all of the positions in the office. Honestly, it was such an overwhelming task that I avoided it. Every time we had a new employee I wished that we had it and the cycle continued. It took someone with Barbara’s organizational and writing skills to help me accomplish this task. Now that it is done, updates are easy and new employee training is a breeze.

We even gave the entire facility a “face-lift” and made the space beautiful and inviting to customers. Often times, Barbara proposed recycling existing items as we uncluttered and beautified our space.

We have been working with Barbara for 9 months now. In the first quarter of 2008, our stats are up 20% over last year. Morale in the office is better than it has ever been. Our office is more beautiful than ever, even my basement is organized… I have worked hard laying a foundation with Barbara that I could not have done without her. This foundation will allow me to continue to grow my business and have more free time for myself, which was a key goal. Honestly, I only wish that I could have had the opportunity to have Barbara on my team years ago. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She will help you define your individual business goals and get things done faster and easier than you could ever imagine.

From Rev. Thomas E. Margrave, Rector, St. John’s Episcopal Church, Cornwall, NY
Barbara Dobilas is one of the most creative and brightest people with whom I have ever worked both in my previous vocation in the military and now as a priest. She takes immense pride in what she creates to get a message across to a wide ranging audience and she continually improves the product. She is detail-oriented yet innovative. I recommend her highly.

From Naomi Fay, Office Manager, Wellness Springs, Highland Mills, NY

From Elizabeth Popovich, Director, American Red Cross, Orange & Sullivan, Goshen, NY
Barbara's organizational skills filled an important systems gap and helped create consistency in the volunteer training program during a time when the plan was in a critical developmental stage. A consummate professional and compassionate colleague, Barbara successfully combines tenacity in achieving goals with an appreciation for the individual needs of the team. As a result, she works diligently on each project balancing efficiency with empathy so that the team as a whole succeeds in its objectives.
