Testimonials
“Our team learned so much from the Spark Training that we're able to use every day at the Club. The training was interactive and engaging and we walked away with real practical advice that we can implement with the kids we serve.”
- Erin G., Senior Program Director
Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine
"I attended a 2 hour Spark training on challenging behavior at the end of a long teaching day and my take away for any exhausted teacher reading this is: WORTH YOUR TIME. I have been teaching pre-k for eleven years. This was one of the best trainings I have received on challenging behavior. It was an effective balance between an informational presentation and small group collaboration with colleagues. I left with real tips and strategies and a better understanding of the why behind challenging behaviors."
- Ellen W., Pre-K Teacher - Cape Elizabeth Community Services
“We love Spark trainings! Bobbi always keeps everyone involved and engaged. I feel like my staff learns so much from the trainings that is tailored specifically to what they deal with in their classrooms. My favorite part is how we’re able to customize trainings so they fit our needs.”
Angie P., Owner, Bright Beginnings Learning Center
"A very insightful training! Great information given to the summer staff that was so well received. I really appreciate the organized, knowledgeable, approach Spark presented and absolutely loved how they tailored the training to our specific needs. Well done Spark and thank you!”
- Tina L., Director, Wells Parks and Recreation
“Watching our staff engage in meaningful conversations with Alex was nothing short of amazing. The key points that they have taken away from our behavioral training have made such an impact on day one. This training was simply one of the best ones I have attended or offered for our staff. I can’t thank Alex and the team at Spark enough for their positive and professional trainings.”
Grace B., Recreation Director - Buxton Recreation
Our Spark trainer Kyla provided a wonderful learning experience for our preschool staff. The information was informative and relevant, and Kyla delivered it in a way that kept our interest and made the 2-hour session fly by! In the past we've experienced training that we just wanted to "get through", but with Spark, we actually look forward to another training in the future. Thank you, Kyla!

- Carin M. S., LCSW
“Gregin was an awesome trainer! She was very knowledgeable, made all of the material that she taught fun, and had some great stories to share throughout. Whenever we had a training and Gregin was running it, it was guaranteed to be a fun time! Gregin is one of the coolest and down to earth person that I have had the pleasure to meet and learn from!”
- Jessica G., Behavioral Health Professional
Most professional trainings frankly, were not events I looked forward to attending, nor were they particularly always enriching. This changed when my employer entrusted Gregin and Alex with our required trainings. Their approach towards teaching was engaging, enjoyable, interactive and much more fun than I was prepared for. I found the sessions to be realistic in my work and applicable. Gregin and Alex are approachable and encouraging, they are wizards at making often dry material interesting and relative.
- Betsy M., LCSW
"Spark connected with all experience levels of our staff. The trainers kept the conversations and topics relatable to our specific needs."

“Need to know de-escalation strategies or safe physical management practices? Call Gregin Doxsee! Gregin demonstrates an inherent knowledge and genuine passion for the information she teaches. She is extremely engaged in her teaching, provides demonstrations from book context as well as real life experiences. When in attendance of Gregin’s trainings you are treated with the upmost respect as a professional whether you are new to the topic or a veteran. Gregin structures her instruction to allow for questions, demonstrations, active engagement from participants and confidence building. When you leave Gregin’s training you WILL leave with the techniques to safely and effectively place your training into action, you WILL leave confident, you WILL leave inspired, and you WILL leave with the ability to contact Gregin with any questions you may have after leaving her. You are never alone.”

“As a BHP I had to undertake many trainings. They come with the territory of the behavioral health field. I was always extremely excited when I saw that Gregin would be giving the training; she makes trainings FUN and engaging! Her positivity, knowledge and confidence is contagious, and makes the learning experience truly beneficial and memorable.”
