Testimonials

“Katrina has facilitated group sessions for bereaved children at Feel The Magic, and also shared her own story of grief to our participants. Katrina is an eloquent and confident speaker. She is engaging, calm, and has a natural warmth that young people gravitate too. Katrina doesn’t shy away from talking about the tough issues, but does so in a way that is approachable, developmentally appropriate, safe, and beneficial for children. Katrina is organised, professional, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Katrina as a speaker, facilitator, and grief educator.”

Lucy Archinal-Hudson, Clinical Director at Feel the Magic

“The staff development provided me and my colleagues with confidence in talking to children about grief, as well as helping me to understand the difference between grief and bereavement. I really liked that we discussed how it affects different age groups and were given practical steps on tackling a grief conversation.”

Teacher, St Margaret Primary School
