“I approached The Woman Arise Institute when I was going through a really messy divorce and was struggling with two small children on my own.

It has helped me to get my life in balance. I will never forget how much support you gave me during the worst time in my life.’’
- Paulette
“I have learnt how to control myself without lashing out and what it means to be assertive. It was very good but I would like you to come every week and not stop till year 11… it was worth giving up lessons to come to the Daughters Arise course.”
- Ruth, year 7
“Before being recommended to The Woman Arise Image Consultancy, I looked and felt a right state. I knew my image needed updating but I didn’t know where to start. I can’t thank The woman arise team enough. Every time I look in the mirror I can hardly recognise its me! My whole life has changed. Thank you for giving me a new sense of style and teaching me to love my curves. Taking pride in your appearance really does make a difference. Even now, whenever I have an important event to go to, I call Tonya and her team to work their magic.’’
- Carol
“Having Tonya weekly was a great activity to look forward to. She is a great person that has the ability to change a person… She helped us see things from a different perspective. If you prefer being taught in a fun, interactive and private manner where you can be as open as possible, then Tonya is the person to be around!”
- Geraldine, aged 16
“People have tried to make me see many times, but it didn’t work. Daughters Arise has helped me to see things in another way and changed my thinking in a few sessions”
- Samantha, aged 14
“I have changed because when I started, I was really naughty and angry. But now I am very well behaved… I’ve learnt how to express myself in different ways like writing… My attitude to reading has changed too and I’ve learnt to communicate better and think about the way I speak to people.”
- Lauren, aged 10
