Recent testimonials:  

“Hi Trish – I’m echoing Cindy’s comments below – especially the one around setting us up for the rest of our retreat – I recognized triggers in myself I wouldn’t have otherwise. It was also nice to meet you in person. We’re hopeful we get to work with you again! THANKS!  –  Megan Begley | Chief Operating Officer, SafeSport Officer,  Nordiq Canada  https://nordiqcanada.ca/

“Your presentation was amazing and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback from staff. It was the perfect workshop to have before our leadership course. The two workshops were very complimentary and having the information you presented going into the leadership course made the learnings easier to understand and more meaningful. Thank you for sending us all the resources, it will be shared with all of the attendees. Thanks again!” 

“Trish presented her trauma-informed workshop at our staff retreat for professional and mental health development. This workshop is incredibly helpful, informative and relevant for everyone who wants to better understand themselves and those around them whether in a corporate or social setting. It dives into the biological and psychological reasons of why we react the way we do, and provides guidance on how to manage and change behaviours. I’ve done several different corporate personality and behavioural tool analysis, and none of them has been as insightful, or as useful, as this workshop both professionally and personally. Thanks again for a great workshop”.  –  Cindy Chetley | High Performance Coordinator Nordiq Canada https://nordiqcanada.ca/

We received very good feedback during the day spent with you, and the positive conversation about your presentation continued into the second day.

I am certain that we will be looking to work with you again in the future.”  With gratitude, Raymond Cauchi, Jordan’s Principle Hub Resource Coordinator, BC Aboriginal Child Care Society

I also enjoyed the presenters, they were easy to listen to and worked well together. I like to hear practical applications on subject matter, and I also like to understand the science to the degree I am able. I felt like both of these needs were met. Thank you for a great presentation.“ – participant feedback July 7, 2020 workshop

Thank you also for all the amazing resources provided”. – participant feedback from our June 2020 workshop

” I really enjoyed this workshop. I think you both make a great team and it was really nice that you both alternated speaking throughout the day that reflected your expertise in a particular topic. I loved how you started the beginning by setting up expectations and asking each of us what we would like to learn/how we came to the workshop. It was also interesting to hear about other people’s reasons/experiences. I also appreciated how you both created a safe and comfortable environment for everyone to participate as much or as little as they wished. The material was wonderful and I most enjoyed learning about the brain, hearing personal stories about trauma, and trying out the meditation exercises. The vicarious joy exercise at the end was a beautiful way to end the day. I also liked that we were a small group to build safety and trust. It was also nice to have “official” question times as well as the ability to ask questions in the chatbox. You both answered questions thoughtfully and with care. Lastly, thank you for offering to complete the survey after the workshop (people tend to be tired at the end of the day) and I also appreciate you offering a follow-up question time. Thank you for a great workshop.” – participant feedback from our June 20, 2020 workshop.

“I really appreciated the safe environment the facilitators created that emphasized choice. The content was fascinating and enlightening and I enjoyed the experiential exercises we were guided through” – participant feedback from our June 20, 2020 workshop.
