Testimonials:
“Willow and I attended this workshop and it really was one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve shared with Willow. It really changed the dynamic of our conversations.” – Jess, Christchurch
“I cannot recommend this workshop enough. We attended a few years ago and it was a fun day: crafts, stories, friendships and more with the girls walking away feeling empowered and with so much information about their own bodies and their place in the world. And I learnt stuff too!” – Sarah, Banks Peninsula
