Testimonials from Past Training Participants
- Adele is an extraordinary speaker-- engaged, alive and vulnerable at once, really smart and daring to make all of us think expansively. I have been quoting her since the talk!
- Adele is compassionate, clear, and transparent. These things increase her engagement with listeners. And she shares her ideas in the context of theory, research, practice, and the lived experience of others. Such a dynamic speaker. And she is not afraid to bring the concepts of love and spirituality into her presentation and work.
- As Adele did with EFFT, she has once again opened a new view and path. Her perspective also gives me a better way to understand many mental health “symptoms” and to provide a more extensive/multigenerational treatment. I am so grateful for all her curiosity, research, and most of all her humanity and desire to improve mental health treatment.
- I am rendered speechless by this talk. As a registered dietitian, I have wondered about this subject as I get curious with my patients and yet, registered dietitians are generally not afforded training in this subject matter to articulate.
- Transparent, educated, humble, real, a risk-taker, a healer, a new refreshing voice for our field.
- Truly excellent integration of personal and professional experiences and perspectives, clinically useful and stimulating.
