Testimonials

  • It was such a pleasure learning from Tanya! The knowledge shared during her training has supported my professional growth, really helping me understand my clients better and practical tools on how to support them through their difficulties.

    Desire Discrepancy Participant, May 2022

  • I feel illuminated and enriched from doing this course with you, Tanya. The information given was at the right level for me to begin using it immediately in my work as a singles/couples therapist who wants it not to be a taboo topic in the therapy room. I feel empowered to drop lingering feelings of inadequacy and embarrassment....

    How To Talk About Sex Participant, Nov 2022

  • ...The sociopolitical angle was super important too, and while I feel I was fairly well across this beforehand, you certainly ensured that I now approach sex and relationships (and life!) with commitment to enhancing an understanding of this in myself and those I am around. Thank you for what you do and who you are
