Wade Salmond, parent TESTIMONIALS After Workshop One of the Certificate in Expressive Therapies... For me the workshop was worth every effort taken to be here in creative bliss & safety. Monique is unique! Such an inspiring and gently undertaken facilitation - trust, spirit, diversity, support, calm professionalism all carried in one person. Robyn Sheptooah, Family & Relationships Counsellor. If only I had experienced this 15 years ago when I first tried psychology!! This is fabulous!! Monique is realistic, gentle and guiding. I'm priviliged to have the opportunity to learn from you. Cathy Lewis, School Based Youth Health Nurse. This workshop was life changing and feels like the start of a new chapter for me. I feel like I've come home. Monique was very, very warm and full of wisdom. She shared in a respectful & encouraging way that allowed for a good balance between professional and personal learning. Anita Regan, Social Worker. A safe environment to express. A great way to re-connect to my inner wisdom that gets lost in the chaos of everyday life! Monique was very knowledgeable about content and theory and process. She has a soft, gentle manner that encourages self expression. Heather Coull, Counsellor/Case Worker. This workshop was so personally rewarding that it felt like soul development rather than professional development. Something I'm looking forward to sharing with and creating for my clients. Monique makes this training engaging and her passion and enthusiasm for this process is infectious. Lisa O'Brien, Psychologist/Youth Support Co-ordinator. Monique was very sensitive & professional. She has a quiet presence - an intuition that flows with the needs of the group. Vicki Goodsell, Psychologist/School Counsellor.
Quote You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your consciousness. Eckart Tolle, A New Earth
