Testimonials
It's not an exaggeration to say this workshop has been life-changing. That doesn't mean my life has been miraculously 'fixed', but there has been a deep and fundamental change in my perspective and self-esteem.
Helena
Judy and Sarah created a supportive, safe and caring environment, with a good does of humour too. I felt seen, heard, understood and uplifted.
Celia
The Reignite Weekend was filled with insights, growth, tears, and laughter. Words can't describe how comforting it was to find a tribe with these women, all completely different, with different journeys, but so so similar.
Mel
The weekend is designed and facilitated in such a perfect way to bring comfort, healing and hope. Being together in a safe environment, with other women who are experiencing the same thing, is so powerful and healing. I left feeling seen, heard, understood.
Jane
Before the workshop, I felt a sense of exclusion and lack of belonging. Reignite showed me that I'm not alone, and the connection with participants helps me to keep seeing that each day. Since the workshop, I've found it easier to connect with others, to take up space, and to take my seat at tables dominated by mothers.
