  • “The kids will have a ball while learning important life skills.”

    Niall provides talks, discussions and interactive sessions rooted in sound theory but presented in a format that appeals to children whilst challenging them to think and reflect in a non-threatening environment. He is able to inspire self-esteem, self-awareness and resilience in young people through the way he interacts and works with them. In short the kids will have a ball while learning important life skills.

  • “Showing the importance of how physical exercise and breathwork can be used as positive outlets.”

    Niall visited our LCA students to give a talk about the importance of being resilient to help overcome challenges. He shared different stories & tools, along with showing the importance of how physical exercise and breathwork can be used as positive outlets. He built a great rapport with students and they really enjoyed the experience.

  • “Great workshop, very relatable and taught in an open way that includes everyone with great practical examples that is inclusive and easy to use..”

  • " The information shared was very relatable, easy to follow and real. It was fun and engaging.."

    I was totally engaged in the talk today. I felt that I was put at ease and most importantly the individuals who use KITE appeared to be at ease and fully engaged. The relaxed vibe was what achieved this I believed. You spoke to our individuals not at them. The information shared was very relatable, easy to follow and real. It was fun and engaging. Keep up the good work.
