"I've read and written fairy tales for a number of years, but I'm always up for a bit more inspiration, and despite me thinking I was quite experienced I got a lot out of this course...Thank you, Alyssa, for this course, and I thoroughly recommend it to other writers out there." -L.W.

“What a fantastic experience! I came out of it with a new draft story and a toolkit of strategies to help me write more. Also, Alyssa's process helped me understand my own connections to fairytales. She gave us specific, step-by-step instructions that allowed us to create our own fairytales. Each step was achievable and Alyssa was there for support if we got stuck.” - M.H.

"Alyssa offered her editing services to me at a crucial time in my book writing journey...From the moment we embarked on the editing journey together I felt held by her caring and perceptive approach..." - C.F.

"I use Alyssa's Mental Health Cards in my practice as a school psychologist....My clients love to use them daily and report that the physical and visual reminders of their coping strategies are helpful to their well being." - M.E.

“When life’s pressures become heavy, I reach for these beautiful cards to help restore the balance…I highly recommend Alyssa’s uplifting cards to anyone who needs a helping hand through daily life.” - M. (Tas)

"I just attended Alyssa's Chakra Card workshop, I got to meet some beautiful people. Alyssa not only has a beautiful soul, but is so loving, gentle and insightful. I loved working with the cards and found them to be wonderful tools...I came home invigorated and enthused..." - B.M.

"Recently I did the 'discover yourself' workshop with Alyssa using her wonderful cards and her extensive knowledge of the chakras. It was a fun, informative, at times emotional, warm supportive workshop." - T.G.

“We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Alyssa for International Read to Me Day to facilitate a storytelling workshop and encourage the young people to get excited about the art of storytelling and literature. Alyssa’s extensive teaching experience was evident as she managed to maintain the engagement of the young people throughout the entire workshop. The storytelling ignited their imagination and provoked very thoughtful and meaningful discussions during and after the session. We even had some aspiring writers who got some expert tips and tricks. Highly recommended and look forward to our next workshop!” - H.C. (Youth Worker)

“Alyssa provided two exceptional workshops for Mid West Ports in November 2023. The first was conducted as an hour-long “lunch and learn” for our staff, giving them insight and the tools to improve their delivery and engagement through storytelling in a corporate setting. The second workshop was focused on our volunteers and conducted as a 3-hour morning session, equipping the group with tangible storytelling skills that they can use in their volunteering roles. On both occasions, Alyssa appropriately tailored her workshops to the target audience which ensured maximum benefit was received by participants. Many thanks Alyssa.” - VW

“I thought the sessions were fun, interesting, sometimes challenging, and varied each week. I think overall my appreciation of the power of storytelling has increased and my confidence has also increased. Thanks Alyssa” - MT

My daughter has flourished whilst attending Alyssa's Creative Storytelling classes. She has discovered a passion for telling stories and can often be found in her down time writing down ideas and characters for her next story.

The small group class has been really great, allowing the girls to relax and participate without any embarrassment or shyness getting in the way.
