TESTIMONIALS
“Tanya was an engaging presence in our drumming session with my Grade 6 students at Bessborough. She managed their excitement well and put strategies into play to have them respectfully stop playing when it was time to learn the next step. My students thoroughly enjoyed learning about different rhythms and working together to listen to beats. She gave students equal opportunity to participate and was flexible with the number of students in my class. Thank you for an excellent drumming session!"

JACKIE HARTMANN - RECE from EarlyON
“We are incredibly grateful to have had Tanya lead the mindfulness and yoga program at our school. Tanya brought a unique approach that was not only engaging but also deeply impactful for students across all grade levels. The programming was skillfully differentiated to meet the needs of each age group, ensuring that every student could benefit from the experience. The program went beyond physical movement and into the realm of mental clarity and connection. Through mindfulness practices, we learned the importance of being present, and through yoga, we discovered the power of balance in our bodies and in our relationships with one another."
