“Working with Maddison, even briefly; gave me the more individualized insights I needed to progress in a time where there was a lot developing and changing in my career. Her knowledge of the industry both globally and locally added to my own experience. I value my connection with her as a fellow model, mentor, and friend. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come from our work together.”

“A year ago, I have decided to switch from being a freelance model, to becoming a professional model. Living in Ottawa, I used to consider modeling as a hobby. I have 5 years of previous experience in modeling. I received a lot of my free knowledge from platforms such as YouTube, Google and Instagram. Even with all of this free knowledge I still felt like I was missing some very important information to help me become successful in the industry. I have tried a few paid online modeling schools, but they were all about posing, building a nice portfolio, the importance of having a great personality, healthy eating, having beautiful skin and so on. Unfortunately, that was not enough for me.

  • I can truly say that I’ve been struggling a lot for the past year trying to figure out how I can identify my strong attributes, eliminate my weaknesses and stand out to the rest of my competition. I finally realized that what I’ve been missing is a mentor! I needed someone directly from the Canadian fashion industry who could help me to understand the unwritten laws of the fashion industry on a local basis which would eventually lead me to the International path. Finding a truly great mentor was a challenge, but I feel like I got super lucky when I learned about Maddison and her online highly personalized modeling program. After our first conversation, I realized she was exactly the person I was looking for. She is not only kind, positive and knowledgeable, but she is someone who is truly devoted and passionate to bringing me to the next level.

    I have only taken a few classes with Maddison and I can honestly say that every minute of it was extremely worth it. I’ve received an unexpected overload of valuable tips and tricks of this highly competitive industry that Maddison has applied through her modelling experience. It was a true pleasure to learn these tips and tricks from her. Maddison is a person I can relate to. She genuinely cares and understands my struggles and is always ready to advise career guidance with generosity and wisdom.

    Maddison has not only taught me the business side of the modeling industry, but also boosted my confidence to a completely new level! I’ve learned to never compromise my values for an opportunity and that authenticity is forever appreciated and will never go out of style. After taking her classes I now feel inspired, confident and empowered to take the next step in building my professional modeling career. The best bonus is, I feel like I am a part of the family knowing that I can always contact her when I need help or advice. I know she cares about my success and I feel proud to be one of her students!”
