Customer Reviews

Very influential and powerful talk which really inspired me to think about doing internal work to help with "resilience". Very helpful tips as to how to begin doing this work. I really liked how it was made clear that sometimes this can be uncomfortable, but that it's part of the work. I LOVED the meditation to start off, this made me feel present and grounded which was helpful when listening to experiences / stories that could be triggering, also helped to be prepared for thinking about my own childhood.

Paris really made me think about my own pre-conceptions. She’s inspiring and so courageous. I’m going to use this as an opportunity to start thinking about my own trauma.

Paris has been a very close friend of mine since 2010 who has helped me through recent problems with depression and addiction. There have also been great times together at films, theatre, festivals and concerts. I can vouch at what a great dancer she is!
