Hi Kirsten,
A brief note of thanks for your recent presentation to our leadership team at our Bangalay Villas corporate retreat. It was a thought-provoking session for us at a very busy time in the property market, your message of mindfulness and in identifying/dealing with friction points was very timely.
The feedback from the team was all very positive – especially your work on the awareness of the present, and acceptance in order to best find a path to a solution – also ‘action preceding clarity’!
I certainly look forward to working with you again in future.

Kirsten's program was great for our team. She had a dynamic and engaging teaching style, and was able to tailor her experience and expertise in elite sports coaching to working under pressure in medicine. I would highly recommend it!
Kirsten facilitated a three-part high-performance sport psychology workshop series for two
of our professional women’s football teams. The workshops focused on mind training for
sustainable high performance, resilience when the going gets tough, and performance under
pressure.
Kirsten facilitated the workshops in a way to ensure a safe and judgement-free space for the athletes to contribute, engage, and share when they wanted to do so. The participants were able to learn more about themselves as individuals and high performing athletes, and pick up tools to help them throughout their careers and lives.
We received great feedback from the participants and a number of players requested to do one-on-one sessions with Kirsten after the workshops to continue their education in this space.

Professional Footballers Association
“Kirsten has a way of connecting with coaches that creates a sense of openness and trust among the group. Her experience in high performance sport gives her automatic credibility and allows her to relate directly to the coaches in our group. Her open and honest dialogue helped coaches reflect and find ways to apply her "3 M" system to their own situations, helping them acknowledge that self-compassion is important to their own well-being. She challenged our group to apply what they learned to improve their own self-care.
Kirsten brings an energy to each workshop and tackles issues that some people don't like to talk about. She creates an atmosphere of learning and connection, creating a safe place for coaches to share experiences and realize that they aren't alone in some of the challenges of high-performance sport. Her upbeat attitude helps coaches be more comfortable with confronting their own vulnerability and she leads through a kind, caring and real way.”

The enthusiasm and excitement that you brought to our education sessions really allowed the athletes
to connect and have a willingness to explore the concepts presented. A reality and practicality was
brought to light as the squad was challenged to put the concepts and ideas into real situations that
they would be exposed to on a daily basis. This is something the squad has never had. In the past the
sessions have been concepts lectured to them but they have never been challenged to explain what
they may look like in real life.
You have an ability to ask the really hard questions without the athletes fearing to share what they really think..
'The way you get the athletes to understand themselves and each other brings a sense of freshness and simplicity to the process.
