Previous Emotional Transition of Moving to New York Workshops
Susie has facilitated this workshop previously for AWNY, and her warmth, professional expertise and personal experience have been very well received.
Attendees have included women at various stages of their transition to New York – from 2 weeks to several years! It demonstrates the importance for Australian women to receive support as the adjust to life in New York and for the opportunity to share their experiences with an empathetic group.
The previous overwhelming popularity and positive feedback from this workshop has been instrumental in hosting this workshop once again.
