COACHING & BODYWORK

“René moves with high integrity, embodied commitment and follow through. As a leader who holds space for others often, I am grateful to be coached by someone who has the power and persona to hold me. I also love how she models consent and requests- it empowers me to try and do the same.”

“I feel more accepting of the obstacles that life throws at me, because I know with the practices… I am firmly rooted and committed in myself.”

“René is a truly gifted practitioner. I feel blessed to be able to work with them. They are an amazing listener and presence holder. We explore being in relationship with body, heart, life, emotions and energies.”

“Working with Rene has been life changing. Each session I learned something different about myself and how to connect with my body and emotions. Talking through what surfaces has supported me in navigating through the experience and allowing the energy to flow.”

“The practices I have learned have supported in my daily interactions with myself, family, and community. I am able to stand in my power by connecting with my being as a whole.”

“I would recommend anyone who is interested in finding deeper meaning and understanding in their work and within themselves as a whole to work with René. I came to her hoping to just have a better idea of what I wanted to do with my career, and I came out with that knowledge and so much more. Her genuine desire to simply connect with others, guide others, shines through in every interaction you have with her.”

“Rene is able to give structure and offer safety in what is incredibly tender, vulnerable and messy work. It is evident that she has trained to hone her craft which leaves her able to center client needs and offer both body work and practices in real time that feel aligned, needed, and intentional.”

GROUP PRACTICE

“I learned that I've found a place where I can share my truth and be unburdened from holding onto mistreatment from the past. I want to thank you for helping us to be able to do that for each other.”

“I really appreciated the self-selection of spaces today for BIPOC, mixed/ambiguous, and White folks. This was the safest and most vulnerable I was able to be in a space throughout this entire [series]. I'm so thankful that [the facilitator] also restructured everything in the moment. For the first time in a long time it didn't feel like I needed to cater to the White folks in the space or tone-police myself.”

“Please continue to decolonize this field. This has been one of the most validating trainings that has removed a lot of self-doubt that has consumed me about being unsure if my ancestral practices were okay to practice in this system. I am grateful.”

CONSULTATION

“Just again thank you, especially for the group agreements. These are the type of guidelines that I've always wanted to see used in trainings or discussions regarding sensitive issues.”

“Really appreciate how you give us insight behind the creation of the space and it's so clear how much thought and intention went into it. It's important for us to see, as we learn about abolition, how spaces can be created around it.”

“I think this training was the catalyst for the most in-depth examination of my own biases I've had in a very long time. The facilitator’s research and thoughtfulness shone. I thought it was very well put together, flowed nicely, loved the opportunity for discussion.”

“Having done this work for a while now - it was refreshing to discuss behavior from all the different critical lenses and not define it as a 'problem child'. I think the framework of the training was very well developed and would be great to bring to our schools.”

“[The facilitator] did a phenomenal job of creating a safe, positive, inclusive virtual learning environment. The facilitation was interactive, personalized, and relevant. The content was GREAT (fresh material) and the facilitation style maintained engagement for the whole duration of the training.

“I believe that this material needs to be the foundation for moving toward becoming an anti-racist agency. There have been a few emails about anti-racism, but this is the only group or training that I have been a part of in the past year that directly addresses the problems at hand. This should be a required for every leader of the organization.”
