General Questions
Question: Do you have a Working with Children’s Check?
Answer: Yes. The safety and protection of all the children and teenagers that I work with is a core element of any of my courses.
Question: What happens if I purchase a ticket for one of your events, but something comes up and I can’t attend?
Answer: Tickets that are purchased through Eventbrite (one of my booking partners) aren’t refundable.
If you contact us, we can discuss a transfer over to a future event or course, or to another individual.
Under extreme circumstances (and in consultation with Nicole Dargie) a 50% refund may be available if given 2 weeks’ notice, or a 25% refund if one weeks’ notice has been provided.
Question: What if my teen identifies as a gender fluid individual?
Answer: All our courses and events are aimed at creating a safe space, this includes being LGBTQIA+ friendly. We encourage individuals to share their preferred pronouns if they have any, such as she/her, they/them and him/his.
We welcome teens from all social, cultural, community and family backgrounds, and of all identities and abilities.
We are committed to our social and environmental impact.
Question: What if my teenager or child doesn’t feel comfortable with having their photo taken, or if we would prefer that their photo not be taken?
Answer: Before every event, we ask all attendees if they give consent to having their photo taken. These photos are taken for the sole purpose for sharing on social media or on my website. If no consent is given, we will honour their and your wishes.
Question: What skills will my teenager learn?
Answer: Your teenager will begin to understand that autonomy and responsibility of their own definition of their positive self-image is crafted and created at this time. They will be given the tools of discernment helping them to identify and eliminate negative self-talk and connect more with their higher self-lifting them more towards their authentic identity.
Question: As a parent, what can I do to support my child or teenager through your course or event?
Answer: Ask as many questions as you need to understand the process that we deliver, prior to and after the course, retreat or workshop. Gently remain open to allow and make space for your teen to move into a higher version of themselves as they discover this through doing this work. Also, by attending one of the adult online empowerment courses such as The Four Bodies or Integrating the Aspects of Self, you will be well on your way and equipped to be an empowered family united and synergised in your own self-created vision and goals.
