"I really liked how Vanessa presented the issue of Transgender Awareness.This is a topic that is toxic with politics, and I must confess that I was very intimidated beforehand. I have attended other CPD events which did little for my understanding and even less for my confidence and sense of professional competence. However, I need not have been intimidated as she presented the issues around Trangenderism from a human perspective, and in so doing, bypassed the toxicity completely. As I am almost 70, I carry the burden of past ages and reorienting myself to the world of today is challenging. The workshop was an enabling and life enhancing experience and I would recommend it wholeheartedly."

"Vanessa offered such an authentic human presence with so much compassion for self and others that I experienced a real connection and this is what, I feel, increases awareness and creates change. I felt I better understood the context and complexity of the personal and political issues."
