(Eartha. aged 13)
"I participated in many girl/maiden circles run by Anna throughout my last year at primary school and the following year.
I always thoroughly enjoyed the circles with Anna, she made a very comfortable and welcoming environment where I felt safe and able to speak my mind.
Anna has a very caring way of running the circles and all the girls I did it with found it easy to open up and talk about their feelings and experiences, I got to know the other girls and myself very well during these times.
Anna also incorporated other ways of expressing feelings aside from just discussion, we did movement, art, sculpting and other creative activities. All these different ways of expression and comfort made it a very enjoyable time."
(Ramona, aged 13)
"My daughter enjoys being part of Anna's circles as it gives her a safe and held space, in which she can creatively explore any issues that are present in her life. It helps her gain a deeper and more compassionate understanding of herself and her peers, and gives her the gift of belonging"
(Maggie, mother of Natasha, aged 9)
"Anna Foletta has been involved in my daughter's life for a number of years and her influence has been profound. Through the regular support of the girls' circles, my daughter has become more confident, at ease with herself and the world around her. She has learned many social skills and improved at communicating. The group meetings instilled in her a deep sense of belonging and self-worth.
Anna's supportive and loving manner allowed the girls to open up and share their troubles and concerns in a safe environment. The creative therapeutic aspect gave them the opportunity to explore new possibilities and create hope and well being.
Anna is a gifted facilitator with a wealth of experience and knowledge. I highly recommend her therapeutic services."

Dear Anna, You hold sacred space with love, intuition and deep care. Your work is magically creative, inclusive and innovative. And amongst 'the work' you bring the sweet medicine of fun and laughter. I have so enjoyed being a participant in your workshops gaining more insight into my heart and soul. May you share your work with the blessed many. Joanna (aka Badger) "Anna facilitated a drumming ritual for me during a time when I needed much clarity. I found her to be a very grounding presence for me and I felt completely supported during the journey. She seems to have a deeply attuned intuition that helped guide the session and I felt totally at ease with her, being able to trust the process." (Lisa) |
