“Maria, I can’t thank you enough for being such a positive influence and role model for my daughters. You have encouraged them to become independent, strong, charitable, empathetic, and motivated Young ladies. I am so proud of their integrity and the way they deal with challenges both large and small. Thank you for helping me instill all of these qualities and so much more in my girls. From the bottom of my heart, I will be forever grateful to you. ❤️ “

“One of the reasons why I chose Fearless Focus Program with Maria Wood was because of her passion, desire, and devotion to helping and empowering young girls. Since Maleah and Anayeah Jean starting the program , they have become self-confident, and proud to be who they are. As for Maleah, right now her confidence and self-esteem are off the charts. She now knows she’s beautiful, as Maria continually emphasized the beauty of self-confidence. Another reason that l love her program, is the way she treats all the the kids the same. With love and compassion. My kids have been in the program for four years now, and I can see a real difference in my kids life as they feel more confident and powerful. Choosing this program was the best thing l could have done for my girls.”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to you. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done to encourage and support my daughter Grace. In the Fearless Focus classes, Grace learned skills were critically important in helping her achieve her personal goals. In May of 2015 Grace scored the strongest marks possible in her interview for the National Honor Society and was inducted April 8, 2016. My daughter is happy and confident again, as a mom that is my greatest comfort. Thanks again for your help and support.

“Emma has been attending Fearless Focus for the past three years. In social settings she has gained confidence in speaking up for herself and expressing her opinions. As her own self confidence has grown, she uses her voice to advocate for herself and others. She is less shy when meeting new people and uses the skills learned in class to introduce herself and make friends. The program has helped so much in her growing into a strong and confident girl.”
Melanie Kelly, Hanover
‘I can’t say enough good things about Fearless Focus and Maria’s approach to creating a safe and welcoming environment for young people to explore what it means to be an individual, celebrate differences and support others. These programs have been a vital social outlet for our daughter, especially appreciated during the pandemic. She has made new friends who all nurture and support each other. This has boosted her own self-confidence while connecting with others. Thank you Fearless Focus and Maria!”
Beth York
“Fearless Focus came into our lives exactly when we needed it to. My daughter had a rough school year a few years ago and then the pandemic happened. She needed to find her way. With the help of Maria and her staff my daughter is now more confident, talkative, and walks a little taller. My daughter was able to find her best self and let it shine. I can’t say enough great things about the program. It really is a great find for my daughter and I. With all the confidence and character building, the hair and make-up tutorials, and the everyday things like manners and hygiene, it really is a program packed with everything a child needs to be the best version of themselves! I am just so happy it came our way when we needed it most.”

“For months I saw the ads to Fearless Focus pop up on my news feed and kept thinking it would be a great fit for my daughter. My then 14-year-old was very shy. I wasn’t sure if she would even have any interest. I showed her the website and all the other girls’ testimonials right before the spring program of 2021 and she seemed interested so we made an appointment to meet Maria. From the moment we walked through Maria’s door, Alyssa’s face just lit up. Maria just made her feel so welcome and confident right from the start. Maria told us all about the program and asked if we wanted to think about it and let her know. Alyssa looked at me with a smile and said ” I wanna do it”. This was last spring, and in less than one year I’ve really seen her blossom. She no longer wears her glasses she used to hide behind. She is taking better care of herself and making new friendships. She walked in Maria’s Spring show and walked with such grace and confidence that I had tears in my eyes. Fearless Focus isn’t just about beauty.. It’s about building the confidence to be able to walk in a room with your head held high. It’s about learning self-care and building social skills. It’s about finding the beauty inside.”

“Isabella first engaged with Maria Wood Studios when she participated in a Fashion Show, at Hanover High School, while in Kindergarten. Throughout elementary school, Isabella attended Maria’s school vacation and Summer camps. In middle school, Isabella’s enthusiasm for the program grew and she began taking weekly classes. The program has increased our daughter’s confidence, outgoing personality, and helped define her values in life. Maria Wood Studios has given Isabella the tools to navigate through situations with thoughtfulness and maturity. As a father, it is such a great feeling to see the smile our High School Freshman has when attending the program, talking about the program, and enjoying the bond she was with Maria.”

“This class has blown away every expectation I’ve had and I’ve been singing your praises all across town! The girls come out every week wanting to talk all about the class. They are really engaged and absorbing so much. Plus the affirmations have become part of our routine! Thank you, Maria!”

“You will not find a better program to help your child or yourself find great friends, great life lessons, and a wonderful new appreciation for yourself and your own beauty.

“It is the perfect environment for girls of all ages who are struggling to find the confidence to believe in themselves.”

“Hi! It’s Tenley! I recently participated in your Holiday Workshop, and I wanted to tell you about my experience. Your workshop is amazing. I was feeling depressed and wasn’t having a good Winter Break. My dad signed me up for this class. I was skeptical at first. What was it going to be like? I was scared about meeting new people and thought the instructors would be mean. When I arrived at Maria Wood Studios I was nervous, I didn’t get along with people well, what if they didn’t like me? I entered the studio seeing instructors and campers sitting around in a circle, all talking about themselves. They were all sharing, and I was surprised to know that quite a few of them were interested in musical Theatre like I was. We played icebreakers, and I was already beginning to have fun. The atmosphere was divine and delightful, and I was already changing my mind about Fearless Focus. We started by steaming our faces in preparations for our face masks. I have sensitive skin, and one of the counselors, Maddie, helped me figure out if the face mask would burn my skin. It didn’t. I was so relaxed with steam coming up on my face that I wanted to go to sleep. The counselor was very gentle and added a thin mask layer on my face. I started feeling relaxed and happy. I even made two new friends, Vera and her older sister Kendall. We started working out, doing Zoomba and Yoga. After lunch, we proceeded on our skincare routine. The counselors painted our nails and gave us a nail care kit and face kit on top of that. The counselors were so good at hair, and I got the most amazing makeover ever. I changed into my dress, and we were taught to strut down the runway, saying positive things about ourselves. By the end of the class, I felt like a confident young woman with more self-esteem than ever. This class is truly a life-changing experience for me, and I already want to go back to your tiny piece of paradise.“
