Testimonial

  • We have seen an increase in his self awareness and personal growth.

    I sought Lauren out with a view to enlisting my son in her weekly “Rhythmic Connections” class. She was friendly from the outset, focused and sharp, showing genuine interest in understanding my child’s needs. I was comfortable sharing my concerns with her and by the end of our first conversation, I felt assured she would play a positive and pivotal role in my son’s overall development.

    I find her approach, structured yet light-hearted, and holistic. The teens are invited to introspect, interact and communicate socially with their peers - all crucial to their development as grounded, well-rounded individuals.

    Lauren holds a safe space in so far as is possible for the children to explore their thoughts, thought processes and feelings. They are encouraged to express themselves through various expressions and to practice showing up as their authentic selves.

    Creating a conducive environment of this nature for a group of diverse youngsters is no mean feat. In this regard, Lauren has shown herself to be a wonderful facilitator.

    My son looks forward to attending weekly sessions. Under Lauren’s guidance, we have seen an increase in his self awareness and personal growth.

  • A safe and happy environment for girls like my daughter who look at the world differently from the rest!

    For our 15 year old daughter who has a very limited social circle of her age, the interactions at Rhythmic Connections with a peer group she could relate to was a welcome change! She found a forum where she could express herself freely without being judged and enjoyed actively participating in the various activities. Lauren and Estelle have designed a program that accommodates the different levels of capabilities of each individual participant and keep them engaged. Most importantly they have adopted a communication style that provides a safe and happy environment for girls like my daughter who look at the world differently from the rest! These type of programs are hard to come by in Singapore so please keep it going!

  • It’s been wonderful to see my daughter so excited to wake up on Sunday mornings for RC

    My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the classes offered by Planting Seeds with Kids. Her favorite parts of the sessions are singing and in Savasana, which brings her a sense of peace and relaxation. These classes have given her a valuable opportunity to bond with other similar teens, something she rarely experiences in her school environment. It’s been wonderful to see her so excited to wake up on Sunday mornings, eager to attend the classes. This level of enthusiasm has been a rare and delightful change for her.

  • Empowering teenage girls to build confidence

    Highly recommend Rhythmic Connections for teens, especially girls who have difficulty forming or maintaining friendships. The instructors had many positive ways to help and empower these girls to build confidence, explore their feelings and have created a safe space for authentic expression. There are not enough words to explain how great the whole programme is.

  • It is much-needed therapy that is not currently offered by any other practitioners.

    It is much-needed therapy that is not currently offered by any other practitioners. As our high-functioning kids progress to teen-hood, there are less opportunities for further holistic development, particularly in group settings. This class offers an unique opportunity for the kids to experience friendship through yoga and art. Lauren and Estelle did a wonderful job in curating a programme that fosters an empathetic and fun environment for the kids to explore!

  • I was emotional hearing the teens sing together

    I was emotional hearing the teens sing together. I thought the environment created by Lauren and Estelle was really warm and supportive and accepting of everyone. The whole session was fantastic. More please!

  • For years, I have been searching for classes that provide emotional support for my teenage daughter

    For years, I have been searching for classes that provide emotional support for my teenage daughter, who is easily anxious. I am so glad I found Planting Seeds with Kids. Lauren and Estelle are understanding and open and their after-class feedback reports always give me clues about how my daughter is doing in the session.
