Our Speaking Philosophy

Healthy relationships and healthy communities are a key part of our overall health and wellbeing. What we teach in the therapy rooms also belongs to the larger community. We believe in the importance of speaking to things that are occurring in our community and providing resources and tools that foster resiliency and support to individuals and families. We value ongoing education for our presenters. We consistently train our speakers through supervision, evaluation, and incorporating feedback.

Testimonials

Caroline Tye

LCPC, ATR-BC, owner and art therapist at Dandelion Therapeutic Art Center

Over the past few years, Dr. Bianka Hardin has been an invaluable part of my growing business. Her thoughtful, insightful, nurturing yet challenging approach has helped me push myself and my business to new places. Bianka has supported me with tangible business tools, but yet what I have found to be the most valuable in our work is that she provides a high level of emotional insight that is so often needed to be a successful woman business owner. In our work together, I have and continue to grow personally and professionally with her guidance. As a woman business owner, I am learning to use my voice, know my worth and step out of my own way to achieving the life I am meant to have. I highly recommend her services!

Brad Kammer

NARM Training Institute – Training Director and Senior Trainer

I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Bianka for over 5 years now. I first met her as a student in the trauma training I was teaching, and then I invited her to join our professional trainings as a training assistant. More recently, she has become part of our NARM Training Institute leadership team. In this role, she has served as a presenter, trainer and mentor. I have been inspired by Bianka’s committment to professional development and personal growth. She embodies integrity, care and compassion. I have also always appreciated her sense of humor and thirst for adventure. We have learned a lot and continue to grow together in our professional roles. I am grateful that Bianka has become a close colleague as well as such a meaningful contributor within our international NARM professional community.
