Testimonials

If you are serious about transformation then experience Essence Dance. It affords you the opportunity to integrate spiritual insights and understandings into the very cells of your physical being.  For me it has been centering, balancing, transpersonal and a complete joy!

Essence dance has played a part in guiding me through one of the largest transformations of my life. I feel I’ve connected with more of who I am and have realized that instead of walking my path, I am my path.

I now understand the secret of life. It’s incredible! Thankyou.

John Anderson – Spiritual Life Coach

Essence dance makes life flow! It allows me to be exactly who I am at this very moment and gives me the momentum and spirit to transform into a “previously unimaginable” me! Thank you Gwynneth for allowing such a joyous space to exist in the world. You are an inspiring guide on this journey’.

Chrissy Meyer – Artist

It is a true gift to give a human being back their own power, to allow them full responsibility for everything they want or don’t want. Mia Snow has an exceptional gift in facilitating and sharing her knowledge and allowing consciousness to ignite. She has a wonderful inspiring grounded nature. The exploration of her essence course has greatly increased my love for dance, refuelled my faith in what I don’t know and has given me a chance to do something for me, to nurture and inspire me, and live more fully and creatively.

Elyjah McLeod – Massage Therapist/Live Arts Direction and Production

My Aloha spirit awakened in Essence Dance.  In the darkness, I found a precious being that was vulnerable, fragile and bound.  I went deeper, connecting with source, searching for the door to my Aloha spirit.  I journeyed to a place of possibility… where my soul was free from supression…where I could truly be my unique self….where my heart beat wildly with love for me….where i felt safe to share my love….where I was open and ready to receive.  I embodied this possibility and let it move through me in blissful delight. As the rhythm slowed, the message was clear….

“I Belong; I am Accepted; I am Loved”   With gratitude for the awaking of my Aloha spirit…

Susan – International Community Development Program Officer

I moved to Melbourne to do another course, but I think I really moved here to do Essence Dance.  It has been far deeper than I ever imagined it could be and has been close to the most amazing thing I have ever done!  Thanks so much for what you do and for BEING the channel for this work. You’re really making a difference in a big way and you’ve been a really inspiring example for me. Thanks Mia.

Prema – Student

Essence dance is the opportunity for a vision quest: a doorway to connect with the wholeness of the universe, every week. It is a deeply liberating and enriching exercise the effects of which, ripple out into daily life. Gwynneth holds a nurturing, safe space and is aligned with her integrity as a facilitator.

Sophia Davis – NLP/In-tuition coach and Community Enterprise Project worker

Essence dance has helped me stay connected to the magic and truth that makes up every part of each day. It has reminded me to dance every moment of my life into creation.

Jessica Baker – Student

Mia’s dance classes allow one to be wild and free in a safe and nurturing environment.  My first class was so profound as I was transported to a sacred place with the Hawaiian Elders.  It was the beginning of a beautiful journey.

Kym Sargent – Registered Nurse

Thank you so much for helping open up my world in such a profound and gentle way…for the opportunity to give my mind a break and just be in my body – allowing it to explore through dance and trusting in it’s wisdom has not only deepened my living and released old habits and patterns, it has also strengthened my faith in and connection with myself… a truly transformational experience!

Leilani Ujvari – Youth Programme Coordinator

I found Essence Dance a great vehicle to allow my body to lead and my mind to be free. The dance facilitates my process of integrating new learnings and discovering my deeper self by allowing energy to flow freely. Gwynneth holds a great space and brings deep tribal beats that connect with the rhythms in us all.
Stacia Beazley – Holistic Counselor

I have connected with great joy – felt my feet being pulled into the earth whilst my hands held “pillars” of energy that came from above. Timelessness.

Simone Fitzgerald – Palliative Care/Reflexologist

An invitation, new, different, a challenge tempting – why not? The music was not what I would choose to move to but then I couldn’t move too well anyway, and my opinion and likes and dislikes was not what this is about. Committing to a course was about commitment to me, opening to change, and courage to move in a new direction. For me there was an element of the weird, wonderful and mysterious which agreed with my emotional and physical being enabling me to leave at the end of each session exhilarated, clear headed and vibrantly mobile. A very different movement sensation I would recommend to anyone to introduce into their lives.

Keti – Pastoral Care/Nurse

Each Essence Dance class is like a personal date with my inner child, my shadow and my authentic self, where we get to rock out together!

Melanie Gunn – Student Naturopath

I have been looking for a class like this for such a long time, so thankyou. Dance in itself is such a therapeutic tool, but once given the blindfold you are forced to really look within and this is made me realise how limited the mind (and ego!) really makes us.
Last night was to dance with the intention of accepting knowledge from the universe. This was incredibly relevant to me and I felt so much power both during the dance and after. I realised that we are all here to attain knowledge in different ways and share it with one another. What a great exchange!

Melinda – Naturopath

Essence dance is a journey into the mystery of life; stepping into the unknown and being more fully, the potential of being the power of possibility. Essence dance is the dance of life!
