Natalie Smith ~ Tech I&D Gender Lead, Accenture
"Jade presented a fantastic self-defence class for the Women of Accenture’s Technology practice. Clearly very experienced in teaching novice learners, Jade’s engaging style was perfectly suited to a group that included many who had not met each other before. She gave great instructions and demos, encouraged all participants to have a go within their own limits and answered all our questions. There was so much noise and laughter in the room and we really got to know each other. It was the most amazing team building experience, highly recommended!"
Krissie Zibell ~ Women’s Circle participant
"A natural born healer, mentor and light worker. Jade beautifully and effortlessly held space for myself and 5 other women whilst we explored the theme of “growth” and shared stories of how we had each overcome personal adversity that ultimately lead to self-discovery and evolution. "The physical space Jade created was warm and inviting; and upon speaking to the other women afterwards, there was an underlying theme present: we all felt that we had received a warm hug on the inside! "I would love the opportunity to participate in Jades Circles again & can’t wait to see where she takes this exciting, yet critical work she is embarking on."
Christopher Muhlheim ~ Taekwondo Instructor, Dans Martial Arts
"Jade apart from being a true and close friend is one of the most disciplined teachers of Taekwondo I know. Jade has brilliant people skills and can work with anyone at any age. Jade has over 25 years of teaching experience in the Taekwondo field and has intimate knowledge of patterns, self-defense and fighting skills. With a professional personality you will always win with Jade."

Amanda Durinck ~ Taekwondo student
"Jade is a truly inspiring woman. Training with Jade has enabled me to learn new skills, improve my fitness and increase my confidence all while having fun. Jade's special mix of knowledge, intelligence and warmth together with her encouraging style and enthusiasm will have you achieving more than you thought possible. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to train with Jade I highly recommend that you take the opportunity"
Amy Nickholds ~ Youth and Children’s Programs at The Mirabel Foundation
"We had Jade run four self-defence classes for young girls aged between 8 and 12 years old, all come from a background of complex trauma. Jade was incredibly patient and kind with the girls, even the ones who were nervous to join in. Jade understood from the get go that these girls have a history of trauma and took that into consideration with such ease. She took the time to get to know each young girl and fed into their energy, encouraged the girls greatly and adapted incredibly to the girls ever changing behaviours. I would highly recommend Jade for anyone looking to have self-defence classes, especially for those who may have a history of trauma. We will definitely be looking into booking Jade in the future."
