"The training was very structured and has introduced many new and interesting aspects in regards to how one communicates through dance and the various works we do. An authentic experience which has embraced and enhanced my life in a delightful positive way. It has given me a voice – definitely for anyone wanting to express themselves more fully." ~ Bernadetta Restifo, Teacher and Home Duties

"It has been an amazing exploration of self expression and finding out that what /who I was before I started and who I am now is who I have always been in essence. What I learnt most from the training was the power of movement to clear blocked emotions. How change manifests easily, beautifully, and comfortably from being ‘present’ in my body." ~ Caroline Leonard, High School Teacher

"Authentic Movement has been a most spiralling, awakening, growing, frightening, joyous experience. Thanks to Rebecca and the group for sharing this journey into the body and the language it speaks. This work has raised my level of awareness and consciousness, by allowing my body through facilitated movent to inform my mind and soul. PLUS it is FUN. I would recommend this course for anyone interested in facilitating ANY group work." ~ Lorraine Place, Mother and Student

"Mapping the body has allowed me to ‘see’ my body in a new light and finding connections in Labans work with space effort has been invaluable to my experience of movement... Module 3 helped me to rediscover my yearning to connect with the landscape and elements in nature which have increased my awareness of body and self through movement. Rebecca is absolutely brilliant. Her ability to hold a space with her heart, from a deep place of trust and integrity is awe inspiring. It is definitely one of the most brilliant courses I have done! I have been deeply moved." ~ Kelly Woodward , Mother, Dancer and Artist
