We regret to inform you that Poised For Life is permanently closed in the Southlake, TX location. We have relocated to Atlanta, GA. It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting everyone, it was special. Thank you for the honor and privilege of being your etiquette consultant. Keep practicing! We appreciate your trust and thank you for referring your friends, families and even strangers. We’d also like to thank those in the community who have supported and encouraged us in this venture.
