“I enjoyed all the sessions and the instructors were fantastic. A great variety, great vibes – I felt like I learnt something new in each session and had the opportunity to develop my existing knowledge and skills.”

Participant of Hoop Away ‘18, Healesville
“You created such an open, comfortable space which allowed beautiful communication and a trusting space to explore and play in. Thank you.”
Jess
Participant of Hoop Away ‘19, Healesville
“The tribe you had created there surrounded me in love and acceptance and allowed me to revel in the joy of being really bad at something when so much of my adult life requires me to be competent and correct and capable.
The women I met at Hoop Away have become some of the best and brightest influences in my life. There has not been a time since that weekend that I have not felt supported or able to reach out with a quick note and get an insight from someone in that group. What you have created with Hoop Away is a bubble of specialness full of goodness and love and authenticity. Thank you for Hoop Away, it’s a gift to the universe.”
