About Tahnee's 1:1 public speaking coaching
"Tahnee has shown me how to move with ease when I speak from the stage. She has unpacked and released my posture patterns that I have lived with for years. The benefit being that my natural posture is revealed which enables a powerful presence when presenting..."
--John Perry, Entrepreneur and Business Leader
"Tahnee is without question a one-of-a-kind individual who every one should want to know. Her capacity to touch and heal and understand the power of human movement, combined with her power as a person and her capacity as a speaker, makes her a wonderful teacher who can inspire your whole being.”

"I can't even express to you what a difference this course has made in my life. I cannot wait to go speak! I'm just so humbled and so honoured by this experience. Thank you so much, Tahnee, for the gift."

"When I started Tahnee's "Whole Woman Speaking" Tele-Course, I really struggled to speak my truth, not just in big groups but also just even to friends... And now I feel I have tools to really help me and I know how to connect. I can't express how grateful I am, how empowering that is to have been given that gift from you."
Glenys, New Zealand
And from Glenys a year after doing the course:
"I wanted to email you about another lstep forward for me in speaking. I recently attended a protest march about mining companies. TV cameras were there, and they asked if anyone else had anything to say. I found myself saying yes - almost as though an unseen hand propelled me forward (very funny). And there I was looking at a camera wondering what I was going to say. However, I grounded & centred myself, and sure enough I said exactly what came from the heart. Funny thing is afterwards, just as you once said, I can't remember a word I said. But others said it was really good. So thank-you so much for giving me this wonderful gift. :) :) I would never have had the courage to step up spontaneously without your course. It would have been all in the head and I probably would have missed the opportunity."-Gleny Earle June 2011

"For me doing Tahnee's "Whole Woman Speaking" course has been amazing! The fear of falling apart in front of an audience and not being able to express what I really feel is starting to actually fall away. Part of me didn't really believe that was possible! So I'm so excited about Tahnee's work, because it's very practical and tangible, and there are direct accessible techniques we're learning that you feel the impact of straight away in the moment, and that's incredibly empowering and inspiring. I'm super grateful - thank you Tahnee."

"I have taken three other speaking classes and this is By Far the BEST I have ever taken, because I am already Living it, instead of learning and waiting until I practice for months to really "get it"! I had been able to experience the magic of being "in the flow" a couple rare times in my life, and so wanted to have that back again, feeling it was once in a lifetime experience!! Now with your brilliant mentoring, I can speak from my heart all the time, not only in front of a room of strangers, also in more intimate moments with friends and family, or in workshops, or coaching a close friend. Thank you from the depths of my heart for helping me experience my own Brilliance!! It was such a affirming experience for me!! You are AWESOME!!"

"I have been doing Toastmasters for 6 months and feel I have only learnt a few weeks worth of things, whereas with the 8 weeks with your whole women speaking course - now that felt like about 6 months of training/growth! The comparison is HUGE." E Cainey, New Zealand
"It's like I've had a little weight taken off my heart during the course. I went to Toastasters, but it left me cold. But the energy coming from Tahnee's course has been very pure and loving. It has put me back in a place of connecting with my heart. Using all the wonderful practices we've learned to get us in our body and in our heart, I'm now able to *feel* before I speak. It's a gorgeous process and I'd recommend it to every woman who wants to speak their truth and share their own unique magic."

"Thank you for this Course, Tahnee. I feel so empowered and so confident now, in a way that I haven't felt before. I've been hiding in the shadow for forty odd years, and I've decided to come out of the cave and embrace who I truly am!This course was something that I was looking for, with the integrity that it holds. And I've got so much value out of it, on all levels. And I've really appreciated connecting with women of similar calibre from around the world, who have the courage to speak their truth. The space that this course holds has been phenomenal. I'm very very very very grateful."

"I really liked freeing up the body. It takes the pressure off having to speak in the traditional way of doing it, remembering pages of notes etc. You simlify it, which is graet, because it means you can just step into your power and speak from your heart, without all the other nonsense!"

"I went into this with so much longing to be able to speak comfortably. And when I heard you speak abou tit, I felt this is a dream come true. I'd joined Toastmasters, but they don't speak the language that you speak. And I like the language that you speak, because it speaks to my heart. I feel that through this process that you're leading us through that I will be able to be comfortable in speaking y truth, and that it will be a lot of fun for people to listen to. I'm definitely going to sign up for the next part of this process. I'm so excited, thank you!"

"This course has made me stop and become more aware and made me look into my heart more. I've loved the bodywork. It's brought a real sense of connectedness and groundedness to me. It's been easy to do and fun to do, and I've just thoroughly enjoyed it. And I'm so looking forward to doing more work with you."

"The heart work has been amazing. I never realised how much I closed off my heart or how little attention I've been paying to it. To feel so safe to express from the heart... it's so healing. I really honestly didn't think it was possible to find practises that would give instant and progressive restults like this. It's just beautiful. And I'm so grateful."

"I wanted to say how much this course has transformed me and really given me the confidence to share from the bottom of my heart what I'm about, and to stop judging that. Your techniques are really great and I'd recommend them to everyone. Not only do I appreciate you as a "whole woman speaker", but as a Being. It's so tangible your enthusiasm and commitment to your work and to us, which provides this beautiful safe space for us to step into our full power. The practices you have given really bring us into the present. It's a whole different way of speaking and also of being."

"For me my mission is to be in my heart more, in every part of my life and especially to speak from this place. Since, the first program, I believe I am now more aware of when I'm in my heartspace or in my head. I have found I more often able to remember to approach situations & people from a heartspace, rather than from my head."

"Tahnee, I just wanted to say thank you! I think my level of trust has increased and my level of ability to hear people speaking from the heart and recognising the level of engagement and impact is tremendous. I think this Course has brought me into a circle of people who are in a very similar place, they are all shifting themselves to their true self. I no longer process things with my head I just allow things to evolve now. I know that I am on the right path."
- Joan Jensen, Victoria, Australia
"Seriously, Tahnee, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for just bringing this Course to life, it's been huge! For thirty years, I've worked in a technical IT space and worked in my head and spoken really comfortably from my head and over the last six weeks, I've just completely changed. My whole life, my whole direction has just completely changed. Just being on your course has actually really allowed me to discover I do have all the right skills, the talents, everything I need, to do everything I should be doing. So thank you. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your amazing Course!"
- Sally Lawson, Canterbury, New Zealand
"Tahnee, you may not realise it, but you were the catalyst in my journey, and the realisation of my *real* purpose here. Without your course I would never have seen that. You just gave me the tools, and the love and support and courage and confidence to strip away the 'layers of lies' that were masking the authentic me that was buried deep inside. Like a dormant seed waiting in the cold earth of winter, waiting for the sunlight to warm the earth and provide the perfect conditions for it to grow. Tahnee, YOU were my sunlight. I am SOOOOOOO hugely grateful for you coming into my life. Thank you, dear soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
- Sally Lawson writing to me again, a few months after the course.
"I am very grateful to have been part of the course and learnt so much about myself in the process. I can’t believe that the 6 weeks has already gone. What a wonderful bunch of women I had the opportunity to share with. Thank you for your graciousness and helping me to open my heart."
- Petra Fagan, Victoria, Australia. May 2011.
“One of the things that really wooed me over to this course, when it first popped up on my Facebook page was listening to those women because just the serenity that came from them was just beautiful. And I am very happy and proud that I have done it and I am glad that it popped into my life at this time. I am loving or have loved all that being able to practise and getting to know all these amazing women on the course as well. I am looking forward to living my passion of being an international speaker. So thank you. It’s been an amazing journey and speaking from my heart is very very profound. Thank you.”
- Lynden Boehm, Victoria, Australia. May 2011.
“Speaking from my heart and writing from my heart was very familiar and I have done some channelling but I realised that the creativity that comes out from the spontaneous heart space is so expansive and so different and it really made me excited about what the next step is. I am going to be doing a five day residency in New Mexico and on this course I realised I can’t be the facilitator, I have to co-facilitate with everybody in the group and have them all speak from the heart. I think it is maybe the new model it’s what we are heading for with a different kind of leadership so I am very excited about this work and very interested in how it will evolve for us individually and for you as a teacher.”
- Majio Patricia, California, USA. May 2011.
"This has been just a terrific experience. I never even had heard of speaking from the heart. I have found this to be so liberating. It has allowed me to be more of myself, express myself more to people that I don’t know and just really and truly from the heart. It’s just more authentic and it’s just allowing me to fully be me. It has made a big difference in my life. The way I am interacting with new people it’s just been wonderful and I look forward to the next step as well. Thank you."
– Marian Meade, Oklahoma, USA. May 2011.
"Thank you. I really have loved the training. It has been so wonderful but in particular I have to say today when we shared the concept of the pure white light. How you can transform anything that is coming at you into love and sending love out and connecting with the higher self. Honestly it’s pretty much the perfect processes I’ve been through. So thank you so much.. I’ve enjoyed it and today has been so outstanding." – Maria Cuci, New South Wales, Australia. May 2011."The biggest thing for me I’ve realised is that I’ve transformed my image of myself. I can be a creative channel and do all those things with me in my own space but my big block was when I tried sharing that with outside my space. Now that i’ve transformed myself I see myself doing that, it’s so much easier. So thank you so much."
– Deniece Gastaldin, Queensland, Australia. May 2011.
"For me I kind of knew all this stuff and I did it in different places and now just reminding myself and kind of integrating it all together. It took me kind of on a different level. I might have to talk in front of a group of men today and I am very excited about this as that’s what’s very important for me. And the thing about the white light I knew it before but I would only use it by myself. For me now taking it out and being like that in front of other people. You kind of gave me permission to be like that in front of other people and connect to people from my heart rather than just connecting from my heart to my spirit. And this is very powerful for me."
– Tarisha Tourok, Auckland, New Zealand. May 2011.
"This has been a really powerful course. In every way this has been something that’s enabled a big shift and things I’ve been working with for years has come together. This is like a Feldenkrais of speaking, this awareness, and so many things in it. You are just such a brilliant model of what you are teaching. So much of what I’ve learnt is watching you, what you do and the way you do it. So thank you."
- Beth Spencer, New South Wales, Australia. May 2011.
"This course was the first step for me in deciding to improve my self esteem and confidence and it arrived at a time of probably letting go of some of the sorrows that I’ve experienced and making a decision to walk forward. So it’s all very, very new.. it’s a bit of like a baby step. What i am noticing is that I am having really big shifts really quickly and in six weeks I’ve managed to be online with a group of amazing women and made some connections that have been very heartfelt and very kindly and has enabled me to trust in open heartedness and that life is good and there really isn’t anything to fear especially when you are coming from an open heart and you don’t have an agenda and that’s a revelation to me. So thank you Tahnee and thank you everyone. I can’t wait for the rest of my life!"
– Heather Cornish, Tasmania, Australia. May 2011.
"I felt very moved and it sort of resonated with me; the emotional impact of the course. I wasn’t really expecting the level of emotional , spiritual, and physical exercises that we did but was really powerful. I think the most powerful lesson for me was setting an intention. Setting an intention about my communication with my children. To communicate with them in a more loving manner and that’s made a difference in these six weeks. They used to think I was interrogating them even though I thought I was just interested in what they’ve been up to. So I think that’s been the most powerful shift for me. And I can see lots of other shifts and I am just amazed at the amount of shifts in some of the other participants. Thank you Tahnee for providing a fantastic course for us all and thank you everyone for participating."
- Mary Turss, Victoria, Australia. May 2011.
"Thank you. This is the first time I’ve heard a lot of the group speak and I had been hoping throughout the course that I would hear more of this kind of sharing that’s happening right now. I really, really like this. The change I would say for me is kind of like you’ve helped me tune the skills that I already had and processes that I already use but you brought to it your own genius and your own experience with it and helped me to look at these things from another angle. I really really treasure that. Having this six weeks of conversations just before this retreat has done a world of good for me just to help me relax and get into the mode that I want to be in. Which somehow no matter how stressed out before these events I tend to get I would always drop into it in the middle of the retreat but I am definitely approaching this with more of the right stuff. So I really appreciate this. I wish the course was longer I wish we had more time to share generally with each other. I feel probably that there is a richness and depth we can arrive at with more time. But it is what it is. I am thankful for what it is. I love you and I love all of you. Big hugs."
- Heidi Smith, Arkansas, USA. May 2011.
"I think for me where I feel the most is like a door has opened within me. And I can walk through that door and more from my heart. As I mentioned a retreat coming up here and in the past I would be reeling at this point worrying about what I am going to say. I actually feel like I am going to enjoy this retreat and enjoy speaking with people. I really appreciate the exercises and the transformation that have come through this course. What I am going to take with me the most though and what I value the most is the shared intention of this group. It is just heart warming and heart strengthening to know that there are women around the world wanting to speak from the heart as that is what’s going to change the world for the better and I am very, very grateful for that. Thank you everyone."
- Jan Schaper, Arkansas, USA. May 2011.
"I’ve got much out of this course from speaking from the heart, from being more in my body, and noticing more about how I hold my body, and how I do things with my body to being more expressive, to becoming more creative with business ideas to speaking with people about their creative ideas and today was just amazing with this higher self thing. I got so much out of that. When you had me speak on sorrow it was very relevant for me as I have had a lot of losses; particularly this year there’s been a huge family bust up and never ending struggle always something to worry about. Through this course I found that by focusing on my heart and being able to focus more on what brings me joy and the things that maybe have caused me quite profound pain before, it still causes me pain but I’ve been able to shift out of that and go to places where I feel good about what I am doing and not listen to what other people say or their advice or things that they think I should do. I could listen to my own intuition. Now I have access to my higher self I’m able to ask these questions of her, she gave me a gift and it was a rolled up piece of parchment and I know that I can open that up and get the answers when I am actually ready and am not so attached to the outcome. So thank you so much and I am really looking forward to the coaching groups like everyone else I am really enjoying hearing everybody speak and making these connections and am really looking forward to practising what I’ve learnt cause I haven’t done any speaking yet. But there are some opportunities in the pipeline that are starting to look clear. I am really looking forward to sharing my experiences with everybody and sharing everybody else’s experiences. Thank you."

"The original whole woman speaking course gave us a lot of tools which were wonderful, but the small group coaching gave us an opportubity to practice in groups that were very safe and just have lots of practice and I just found that I was integrating it into my life as we went through. It was wonderful to see us all unfold as we moved through the course, and it's interesting that now I've come to the end, I actually feel this series is now complete and I have the confidence now to go out and not only speak my truth in public ways but also apply it in my private life which is actually where I was struggling most."

"Well I loved the first class and learning all the different techniques and the group coaching for me was actually being able to practice what we learnt in the first class. It was a great transformation. I feel really empowered that on the phone in front of a group of people I can take just about any topic and talk from my heart, more authentically and from my inner wisdom than I ever could before. I believe now that I know everything on some level, that divinity is living through me and I am a lot more brilliant than I give myself credit for and this class proved it for my by you asking us questions and being able to just speak from our heart, from a real true place of brilliance. I really can't put a value on how much this is going to transform my life in the future as a teacher, as a coach, as a speaker, as a writer as well. So I am very grateful for this class."

"I've really enjoyed the class and being surrounded by such loving brilliance from each one of you, it's been a treasure being on these calls because a lot of calls its like oh, homework bla bla, I get on these calls and just really get inspired and love to see my brilliance reflected in other women and your brilliance reflected in me, so it's been an honour to be in your class."

I've gotten to know myself more, gotten to know the depth of communication. I appreciate pauses and breath, because even when I'm listening to people now, I often allow myself to take conscious deep breaths, that seems to help me to listen to them more deeply. I've enjoyed the format and the sharing in our small group, and the content that's helped me to get to where I am now. I've learnt how to work with the mind and beyond the mind, I've learnt to deepen the connection with who I truly am and being able to express that through communication in the world. And I've learnt to just say what is needed rather than having to fill the space. So it's communication on a more deeper conscious level. I've learnt a lot about playing and joy, learnt about many styles of communication which has been pretty neat. So I've really enjoyed the experiential learning, training, experiencing and this course has been very transformational. It's really touched all areas of my life out of class as well as in it. And I've really appreciated how the space has been held for me to bring out and learn all that feels complete. So thank you one and all who were a part of that journey, I very much appreciated it.

What I've learnt is to let go of feeling like I need to know what I'm going to say and just be able to speak from an authentic place that may be my heart, it may be my higher self, it may be something else or a combination. I've really loved being able to have the opportunity to practice this stuff, because I said to you before joining this course, the whole reason I was drawn to it was that I know this stuff in my head, having the opportunity to practice and being able to really connect to my heart, connect to my higher self, have those pieces of me speak is, it's great. I appreciate the opportunity so much. And to be able to focus more specifically in this smaller group I really enjoyed being able to just go with what comes up, and I've really enjoyed watching you Tahnee just respond to what you see the group needs, and to connect to what comes through you, and let go of your plans. I know that's now always easy. So that's been really inspiring to witness but also to participate in. Just to also connect on this level and to be guided by you in these activities has just been really expansive, and I've also really enjoyed getting to know people a little bit more and connecting with Estelle outside of this and also Dayl who was in the course with us. It's just been a really beautiful experience and I'm really glad that I made the leap and went for it, so thank you.

"It just makes me realise so much how in so many areas, the flow on of what I have been learning and what you've been teaching and the information you've been sharing. It's fit me personally in relationships but also in my teaching and in my program, very much learning to go with the flow a lot more even though there is clearly content that does need to be addressed in each particular session so that's been great. One session that always sticks out is the one around story. I don't know how I feel about all that to be honest with you, it's an awareness and it certainly showed where I'm at as far as that's concerned and I suppose again it's the journey that's living in all that awareness and working with it. Also aspects of energy, one area that really resonated with me was how different people can say the same things, and it's the energy that hits you. That really stuck with me, it was really quite prophetic for me so that was really cool. I think there's been so much in it. I'm now connecting more with the feminine side of myself because I have been very masculine. And I'm letting go of feeling like I need to know what I'm going to say or that it has to be planned etc etc and that really flows on in a lot of areas as well. Thank you Tahnee it's been wonderful. It's not just about public speaking, for me it's been about a lot of other areas that it's been filtered into so thank you.

I just want to acknowledge you Tahnee, this has been fabulous, the coaching takes it to a whole new level and what I really enjoy about it is that we get to participate in its creation and that you are always there listening and asking the participants where they need to be, and that's a huge gift to any class. The other aspect of this wonderful opportunity besides the learning and deep exploration about who we are as people is the contribution that we get from each other. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be on a call with women who are so committed to being the best they can be in this world. And I honour you and appreciate you so much.

It's really the difference of talking from the heart that creates this wonderful, bath of warm waters that we can just swim in and discover all the bubbles; some of them are fun and others we can just pop and they're gone. I totally agree with what Dayl said about the contribution of everyone, because at this level of coaching it's so beyond the head, it's the heart and the highest, therefore I just feel like we are all these wise people just sitting around a fire in a circle, it always feels like a circle to me, and just sharing about the part that's not us. And you Tahnee with what you share it's just been so helpful for me to get clear on things that no longer serve and where they are and not only to see what doesn't serve, but then it is really of such value to know what to do instead and how to connect on a different level, on a heart level, on a higher level, and also with women like Dayl and Susie. Both of you just speak so much from your heart, it's just so soothing to me.

"Tahnee, Dayle and Tanya, I've just been sitting hearing Tanya's beautiful words about being in a bath of love, and you know Dayl's words and Tahnee your beautiful words, it's like nutrition for every cell of my body. I just love the unfoldment of what's happened and it's just like these wonderful little light bulbs go off during the week and I just feel there's a richness here that I haven't experienced in a lot of other courses and the richness is profound. I can't put wonderful words to that but the richness is real and I come away feeling well fed. Every time before the course starts I imagine this line going from Australia to England, to Florida, to Melbourne, to Noosa and I just feel this amazing energetic connection with 3 gorgeous women, and all doing it amazingly in our own amazing way, and just having Tahnee as our facilitator, just to take us in this wonderful new experience of enrichment, just being able to share what's been bottled down for a thousand years by the generation of women who haven't spoken. And I just say thank you. Thank you Tahnee, thank you Tanya and thank you Dayl for just really enriching my life into more beauty. So thank you."

"Dear Tahnee, On my way home from work today, a thought of you floated through my mind. I want to remind you of the great gift you are giving to us. To more people than you'll ever know. The ability to reignite the Divine Feminine Creative Power in this most auspicious time. The perfect time for her awakening. One can feel the Love & Light resounding throughout the cosmos urging humanity towards our brightest day. The old casts the illusion that we're doomed to hell and here comes the beautiful Mother dancing through the storm singing her healing song. The power is in the knowing and the only place that I can find the nourishment of peace is within myself. Just one deep breath and I'm home, able to effect the space around me authentically bringing in Light energy that heals/balances. This work with you, my sisters, has grounded all the frenetic, externalized, stressful energy of the past into the nurturing place of the feminine within. Actually nurturing myself and finding myself more able to truly nurture others in a way that I never have before ... words really can't express.
When I first started writing this message to you I was all in my head. When I realized it I stopped, settled into my heart, deleted everything I'd typed, and let my heart speak. Just wanted you to see your teachings in action ;O)
So thank you for opening the gate. I feel its' imprint will prove to be transformative •*♫¨*•♫♪ Lo√E♥"

"Tahnee, thank-you once again for the small group coaching. I feel really confident about speaking from my heart now. I don't get any fear around it at all when I think about it. I have a vision of travelling the world to speak to hundreds of people, and I know your course was a necessary stepping stone to that vision."

“I loved it! I now feel relaxed and comfortable and excited about practising public speaking.”
– Deborah Shaw, Movement Teacher, Melbourne.
“I enjoyed the effortless learning and things started to shift at a deeper level. It was a very supportive environment. I learned to conect with my heart space and speak the truth.”
– Shelly Sun, Property Consultant, Melbourne
“The workshop was very enjoyable. I really liked the creation of a safe space. I really like the small numbers. My posture feels taller and more grounded. My voice is stronger, less breathy. My breathing is more relaxed, less in the chest, more in the belly. I learned that I let my head get in the way of my potential.”
– N.B, Doctor, Melbourne.
“I loved it! There was a great balance between the theory and practical. And two beautiful facilitators. It was well organised and structured, playful and light.”
– Tiffany Makinson, Graphic Designer, Melbourne.
“I really loved it! Nothing to dislike. I discovered a number of things about my speaking and my physical capacities in my mouth muscles. I now have ease of voice projection, comfort in speaking and ease in my throat.”
– Barbara Crljen, Presenter and Coordinator of Volunteers, Melbourne.
“The workshop was enjoyable, very engaging and well-paced. The exercises were non-confronting and almost effortless, in a safe and supportive environment. I was able to overcome some fear around public speaking without going through challenging exercises, and learned about speaking more authentically, from the heart - while previously I used to be more tense and worried. While there I still a long way to go, I am impressed by the transformation that happened during this day. This transformation happened without the hard work, effortlessly – it was like allowing something natural coming to the surface that was already within me.I feel now that speaking is much easier and actually enjoyable, than I used to think about it. While it used to be a bit scary and tense experience, I learned to trust that with practice I will be able to speak more and more naturally and powerfully, in a feminine way, sharing my truth clearly.”
– Anetta Pizag, Environmental Consultant/ Architect, Melbourne.
"Wonderful! Came together brilliantly! I feel empowered and improved.”
- P Cohen, Yoga Teacher, Melbourne
“I really enjoyed the whole session. It was very engaging and fun! My posture has improved. My mouth’s open wider and I manage to speak more clearly. I feel less stress.”

- Vivian Zhao, Business Marketer, Melbourne
“Great, interesting, informative. Learned heaps. Better posture, voice projection, resonance, body language.”
- P Rosenberg, Internet Entrepreneur, Melbourne
“I adored being part of the workshop. The separation between the two areas – body then voice, voice then body – was a wonderful pattern. It meant you could sit then move, which made the learning deeper. I have a huge awareness now of how I hold my body as well as areas of habits in my speaking. This is great! New things to focus on!!!”
- Emma Rochester, Art Student, Melbourne
“I loved it! Everything! It was obvious that both of you are masters of your craft. You both communicated your material with professionalism, flow, humour, and compassion. There was such a wonderful synergy between both of you. I feel so much more aware of myself when speaking now, and feel very empowered by experiencing the shift by the end of the day. I learned how to be much more aware of my body language, posture and speech patterns. By the end of the day I felt more powerful and confident and felt I was speaking with more confidence and presence!”
- Athina Geordin, Stylist & Personal Coach, Melbourne
“I enjoyed it immensely, and learned a lot. It is amazing how we can’t see our own habits and very interesting to see them being pointed out. My posture and voice projection has changed and the 5 minute workout before speaking will be a huge benefit. I learned how posture can affect the way our voices project and how to correct that in order to be a more effective speaker.”
- Christina Andrews, Company Director, Melbourne.
"I liked feeling taken care of. I liked the connection with women. I now feel more confident about how I am in the group. I've quietened down the internal critic. So overall I gained in awareness and confidence. Can't wait to lead my next seminar!"

"It was really good! I particularly enjoyed the connection between the body work and speaking, and working with an all female group."

-Dr Mary Anne Ghuaffurian, Teacher / Mentor / Guide, Melbourne.
"I enjoyed it and gained a great deal fro Tahnee and Sarah's teaching, but much more so from how you both so beautifully embodied your power, sensitivity and womanliness. I also loved the group being small and all women. I now feel more able to be grounded and centered in my speaking - and less judgmental about my tendency to go into my head through fear - and I now have some tools to come back into my heart. I learned that when I am connected to myself and enthusiastic about what I am speaking about, I don't have to worry about not living up to other people's 'expectations'."
-Maia Bedson, Health Educator, Melbourne
"The small group work was great. Space was held beautifully. The singing and movement parts were fantastic, especially seeing the results in my speaking afterwards. I feel more confident now that I can trust in my feminine and speak from my heart and that people will be engaged."
-Nicola Vague, Change Management Consultant, Melbourne
"I experienced a fantastic transformation very early on in the workshop which allowed me to take full advantage of the wonderful lessons during the day. Someone described me at the end of the workshop as 'glowing' so it was truly a profound transformation. I learnt to breathe so that it gave more power to my voice. I also learned to stand tall and speak from the heart. I felt very energised. "
-Margot Stevenson, Head of Human Capital Management, Melbourne
"I enjoyed the chance to receive honest feedback from the others and to see myself mirrored in reflecting the others. I also loved experiencing the power of Feldenkrais and noticing the changes in my body. I gained an awareness of my body movements and defense habits while speaking. I learned techniques that can help to centre me and connect me to my heart and power. I now have a sense of hope for my capacity to be a powerful public speaker! And an improved level of confidence in speaking. ps - Thanks Tahnee & Sarah, you guys are an inspiring example of powerful heart-centered women."
