“Kate ran a wonderful mindset program for dance students at my PBT summer school workshop. She gave the students practical exercises to aid them in performance confidence. The students loved working with Kate.  I highly recommend Kate’s workshops.”

“Kate completely changed the way I see and interpret the dynamics within my studio. Having built and led a large studio herself, she understood exactly the season I was navigating. At the time, it felt as though a tornado had swept through our community with the negativity and toxicity that had developed among some parents.

Kate helped me make sense of it all by breaking everything down into manageable pieces, allowing me to see the bigger picture with clarity instead of emotion. She reminded me of my worth, my purpose, and the vision placed in my heart. It felt as though she became my GPS, gently guiding me back onto the right path, this time with tools, wisdom, and perspective I never had before.

Her passion for dancers, dance education, and people is evident in everything she does. That gave me complete confidence that she was exactly the mentor and coach I needed in this often overwhelming world.

Thank you, Kate, for being the voice of reason when I needed clarity, the voice of courage when I doubted myself, and for helping me lead with confidence once again. I am truly grateful”

“Kate assisted me personally to breakthrough some stubborn issues. I found Kate’s approach to be very genuine, warm and nurturing. Kate has a real concern and kindness about her that gives you permission and makes you feel safe to deal with some of the resistance that gets in the way of moving forward.”

“Kate was fantastic with the girls and really personalised the workshop to meet my needs. It was great to hear and see the students get involved and be able to express themselves. The information offered was so valuable, Kate really inspired me to get back on track and see that my skills and knowledge is so important to the students that I teach”

“Kate’s vast experience in the dance industry, as a business owner and skills as a coach and facilitator are a welcome breath of fresh air to the dance industry. Her wisdom represents a need that is highly sort after by the modern day dancer, dance teacher and studio owner.
Kate’s guidance and insight have assisted me greatly, giving me a clearer understanding of what outcomes I aim to achieve for my students, staff and school as a whole.
I have always found her sessions to be inspirational and I leave with a renewed sense of direction. It’s great to see someone with Kate’s expansive knowledge and experience assist dancers and teachers reach a new level”

“Kate’s coaching session enabled me to breakthrough the limitations I had placed on myself that was stopping me from enjoying my business again. She helped me to broaden my vision, create new goals, and systemise aspects of the running of my business. Kate also ran one of her training programs to my staff members and her pre-planned modules were extensive in its knowledge and wisdom. Having Kate to help me express my vision to my staff members was incredibly supportive.”
