"This is the MOST awesome CD ......to say that it "touches" the soul would not give it enough credit. the initial reason for purchasing this cd was the song "how could anyone," I have heard this song done by other artists.....but none of their versions can compare to the peace and beauty that shaina does it with. As if that in itself werent enough....90% (if not more) of the other songs on this cd.....are of the same quality......and give a deep sense of peace.....everyone i have shared it with....has requested a copy....I have a copy that I listen to when I go to sleep at night......because it is an affirmation..to my inner child ......and.....to my soul."
Perfect for recovering from childhood abuse.

"I found this CD, or rather, it found me, when I was doing work to recover from childhood physical and sexual abuse. Shaina sings the kinds of songs I never heard as a child. Hearing them now has made a tremendous difference in my life. The words and music truly touched my soul, and allowed me to feel calm and loved and at peace. I would recommend this to anyone who was not nutured as a child."
"I actually had never heard of Shaina Noll. I was cooling down in an exercise class when they played the first song on this CD "How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful....." these are song of encouragement and love and an uplifting kind of positive message that is so lacking in the world today. If you ever have felt like you don't matter, listen to these songs! Every one of them is fantastic and you will walk away feeling so good about yourself and you will want to pass on that good feeling to eveyone around you! Thank you Shaina for something so positive to listen to. What a nice thing you did for your children singing them songs like this!"

"I first heard the song "How Could Anyone" as a sound wave on my computer..at the time i was in recovery for drugs and alcohol and had just relapsed...and i have a another form of adiction that i never talked about...called self mutilation...not something one talks about..and i started listening to this song on my computer..i played it all the time...and soon...within a month or two...my feelings of hopelesness lessened..i wont say they completely went away...but they got easier to deal with..they inspired me to get out of a bad situation...and though i went from having a home and a computer...to having nothing at all and living in a homeless shelter..that song stayed with me..i hear it in my head today...and it helps me to go on..helps me to finnally live life instead of just existing..i truly believe that this song saved my life...and though i want the whole cd...right now i dont have the money..but will soon...now that i finnally found out how i can get it...took me forever,,,you could say ive been searching for it all over the country..from texas to new york...my crhistmas gift to myself this year..probally the only christmas gift i will recieve...will be the song that saved my life,,such peace this song gave one that was not only phisically torn by life but emotionally worn and dying inside...dying quickly..if this song can heal me...it can heal anyone..has inspired me to one day help other people who have gone through simular things in life such as i have..i could go on and on about just this one song on this cd...but i could never do it any justice...someone will just have to play it for themselves"
A wonderful, beautiful healing experience

"I am a Family Therapist that works with at-risk children and their familes in their home. I have recommended this CD so many times to my clients and have personally bought many copies for my friends and family. I recently was working with a little boy (7yrs) and his single father. The youngster has had severe brain damage caused by living in his mother's home that was being used as a Meth lab. He has a long list of challenges and diagnosis that have really complicated his life. He has rage issues and loses himself in the rage for hours. Recently I was at the home when he went into a rage. I quickly ran out to my truck and grabbed my copy of "Songs for the Inner Child" and dashed back in the house. Before the second song was completed this little boy had calmed down and was peacefully talking to his loving father.
I have had similar reports from other clients, both adults and teens, who have found a lot of healing and peace from these beautiful healing songs. I highly recommend it."
