What an amazing trainer. I very much admire her knowledge, experience and teaching approach. The course exceeded my expectations as it was tailored to each of our individual needs. It was great to have such a small class to share experiences and areas for development. I learnt so much not only from the trainer but also from the other women participating in the course. I would recommend to anyone.
