Testimonials
Paul White, First Time Sessioner
"Hi Eloise and Team, I just wanted to say thank you for a great night last night. It was the first time I'd attended one of your Soul Sessions and I am so glad I accepted my great friend Kim's invitation. What can I say? Very pleasantly surprised, fantastic and sophisticated venue, beautiful people, great vibe and awesome energy! The list can go on and on. Oh yeah, and the FOOD - yum. Just need the recipe for home now. Seriously though, I want you all to know that I had a fantastic night and enjoyed it immensely. It was very uplifting and a brilliant start to 2012. I'll definitely be returning and have now subscribed to your newsletter. Thank you again!"
Alina Berdichevsky, Lifestyle Consultant, Woollhara
"Why my love and respect for Soul Sessions continues to grow: I step in from the cold and greeted so warmly that all the cares of my day just fall away. I enter the cozy, buzzing room and my nostrils dance at the aromas that fill me - I fill my plate with nourishing soul food prepared with so much kindness by our Laughing Chef (what better essence to have in your food?). We all sit down and chat amongst ourselves between delighted mouthfuls. So manny friendly faces, young and old - each with a story and a smile to share. Finally the lights dim gently and the charming Zoe hosts the stage. She's natural, gregarious and hillarious - and always well adorned with dazzling shoes. The first speaker comes on and then the second... we are mesmerised. They are always so wise, articulate and real. They share their truth with humour and compassion, a deep respect for each other's message and an interest in the audience's journey too. Some of us sit and listen in a trance, while others write with vigour. The point is, we absorb it like a sponge - and leave into the night with hearty goodbyes and minds enriched with new ideas we can't wait to action. The only way to experience the Soul Sessions magic is to live it. You will feel blessed to attend."
Manisha Lee, Artist, Potts Point
"I would say that, ultimately, the whole Soul Sessions experience is not something you can describe. Only after you experience one session will you understand why it is well-worth disturbing your at-home inertia for. I wouldn't consider myself to be the kind of person who goes to 'personal development seminars', preferring instead to take a solo path to self-discovery and knowledge - and shying away from the idea that I need charismatic speakers to tell me how better to live my life. I am glad, therefore, that Eloise invited me to 'perform' at the No Fear Soul Sessions because it gave me the opportunity to see that Soul Sessions is different to any pre-conceived (negative) ideas I had. For me Soul Sessions is simply a relaxed setting to enjoy access to previously inaccessible people (or less accessible information), each of whom have an inspiring, informative and practical message and/or skills to pass on. A particular standout for me was hearing Alistair Horscroft speak (on two occasions) and learning more about NLP, how the brain works and how you can help make it work for you."
Alistair Horscroft, Founder of Reality Check Psychology
"In Soul Sessions, Eloise has created a powerfully meaningful, relevant and legitimately cosmic experience for the modern individual who is seeking the highest level information within a fantastic experience. It's edgy, underground and exciting, but also welcoming, comfortable and trustworthy.
Soul Sessions is life enhancement for grown ups. People who have the life experience to discern between fake and genuine, between trite and substance and between those who talk out of their arse and those who speak from their heart.
Soul Sessions is like no other forum I have spoken at. Other speakers I get to share the stage with are amazing and the audience is a blast; informed, switched on and wanting the best.
I have a feeling that Soul Sessions might just be the format that changes the face of seminars and events forever.
Soul Sessions are like their founder Eloise, grounded in reality yet filled with the spirit of adventure, integrity and the limitlessness of human potential."
Artist Gabriel Colello, 22, Avalon
"When I went to Soul Sessions I felt at home surrounded by people I didn't know. Eloise created an atmosphere surrounded by warm hearted people and delicious food. I'm pretty sure the night was meant to finish at 9, but we all ended up hanging out laughing and telling stories till about 11. No ego's just love! I'll definitely be coming back.
Much love, Gabriel"
Media Agent Justine McKell, 32, Bellevue Hill
"I've been to a whole host of different sessions now and know the nights to be consistently packed full of speakers and professionals who are the best in their fields. Soul Sessions has provided me with a place to give back to myself and loved ones by taking time to expose myself to the highest quality information in wellbeing around and think about the stuff that really matters in life. These nights are dynamic, powerfully rewarding AND it's all delivered in such an entertaining and enjoyable environment."
Spiritual Teacher Gary Gorrow and Guest Speaker at Soul Sessions
"In the ancient Vedic tradition of India there is an experience known as 'satsang' which literally means 'sitting in the company of the wise'. Satsang is regarded to be one of the most essential experiences one can have in life. With Soul Sessions, Eloise and her inspired team have lovingly created the equivalent of this experience in our modern times. During this forum you're found to be in the presence of some of the countries most inspired minds and souls, and in so doing, you evolve yourself and our world."
Mechanical Design Engineer Andy Walker, 33, Rosebery
"Soul Sessions was not what I expected…it was SOO MUCH MORE. My first Soul Sessions event was A Balancing Act with Tara Diversi and Dr Adam Fraser. Both Tara and Adam are fantastic people who delivered two amazing presentations that impacted everyone in the intimate audience. The ambience, food and conversation with fellow Sessioners and speakers alike made my first Soul Session experience truly AMAZING. Thanks Eloise, can't wait for the next one."
Human Performance Expert Dr Adam Fraser and guest speaker at Soul Sessions
"One of the highlights of my year 2010 was presenting at Soul Sessions. It is such a unique formula. The majority of events are stale and formal, however Soul Sessions combines a dinner party atmosphere with profound learning. In this fast paced world where we have lost touch with with ourselves and our community, Soul Sessions brings us back to centre and reminds us that the journey of learning can blow our minds."
Consultant Wendy Colaco, 36, Bondi
"My friend and I talk about the Soul Sessions we've attended a lot and can't wait to sit in on some more this year. I have always felt like a strong woman but there has always been something missing, almost like I wasn't 100 per cent truthful to myself. I have worked professionally and lived in six countries in the past ten years - Ireland, Holland, US, UK, NZ and Oz – but have spent the past two years on a different kind of journey. Some call it Saturn Return, others just Personal Transformation... whatever it is, I am loving it. To be honest, these sessions have had a major impact on my life. The biggest thing is that I've really started listening to myself, understanding who I am as a woman, and trusting my instincts. Since attending Hey Ladies! Get Healthy! I have changed my way of living quite dramatically, I now eat organic and see a naturopath monthly… and after having severe endometriosis for years (and numerous operations) it has gone, completely. To me, that's just magical & life changing. In addition, I'm training for the Paris marathon and have a new zest for life. As I write this note I am amazed and surprised at how much has changed in just three months. Thanks so much for putting these sessions together, I think they really are amazing and inspiring. They really are making an impact on real lives!
THANK YOU ELOISE!

Eat Yourself Sexy Naturopath Emma Sutherland and guest speaker at Soul Sessions
"I have attended quite a few Soul Sessions evenings and what I love about them is the intimate environment, the lovely ambiance, the opportunity to meet amazing people over a glass of vino and soaking up the minds of such incredible speakers. One of my favourite sessions was Anxiety Sux because of the depth of passion shown by the two speakers. Sandy MacGregor moved me to tears with his calm and tragic story then Alistair Horscroft was delightful in his unconventional attitude towards anxiety. I can't recommend Soul Sessions enough - I love the entire philosophy as well as the powerful energy surrounding it.
Presenter Zoe Sheridan, 42, Bondi
"I'm so grateful for the wonderful opportunity to be MC at Soul Sessions. Each and every one has been such an incredibly enriching experience. I get more nervous before each new session, firstly, because the speakers Eloise books are so professional and amazing, and secondly, because I'm so desperate to be asked back. I have been enlightened, amuzed and amazed by Soul Sessions' Speakers' knowledge, experience and guidance AND I have connected with so many wonderful people. This is a space where friendships can be found. Soul Sessions gives me motivation, focus and faith that I have the power and knowledge to make my life, and the lives of those around me 'bright and golden' as my seven year old would say. I recommend Soul sessions to anyone who likes to learn new things, meet wonderful people, laugh a lot and commit to living their best life ever. See you there x
Sarah Hickey, 22, Actress
"Soul Sessions is the most amazing gathering of like-minded, beautiful people and I know that each time I go, I'm going to feel like magic inside. From finding Balance to Abundance, each session is an open exploration of life in a safe, warm and enlightened environment. I am so grateful for Soul Sessions and Eloise for giving me an oasis to come and learn, discover and embrace life. SS rocks my socks!"
Business Coach and Soul Sessions speaker Rhiannon Rees
"Soul sessions is a vehicle that our society really needs. It is a chance for us to bond and educate ourselves to the possibility for a brighter future for ourselves and those around us. Soul Sessions provides a very intimate space, where your thoughts and questions are welcomed in warm and nurturing, yet incredibly dynamic environment. If every person on the planet had access to Soul Sessions, our planet would be an amazing place. Soul Sessions is a valuable tool for people who demand a spectacular life. The knowledge and wisdom of the presenters I have sat in an audience for and their ability to give their message in an honest and simple, down to earth style makes this space a rarity. Trust me when I say, Soul Sessions is for everyone. Knock yourself out and start living the life you know you deserve. Love Soul Sessions and love you Eloise Xx"
Recruitment Manager Elizabeth Coady, 33, Cremore
"Each Soul Session has it's own individual set of energies, learnings and elements of earthy goodness. For me, Anxiety Sux (July 2010) has been an enormous stand out. I had the pleasure of listening to two extremely valuable, and yet at times opposing, set of views on facing and dealing with anxiety. I have been a sufferer for many years; anxiety presenting it's uninvited and ugly apparent "control" in so many various forms. I was fortunate enough to have a one-on-one session with Alistair Horscroft thanks to Soul Sessions' introduction and have since (6 months later) had the opportunity to see him once more. After years upon years of so many different therapies (all trial and error - some providing temporary relief and hope but, in retrospect, predomiently error!), Alistair's views and methodologies have completely changed my life. So much sense! I've been blown away and feel for the first time in my life, above anxiety. I am so proud to be associated with the Soul Sessions which gives all who attend a space to open our minds, explore our limitations, improve our sense of being and all with a glass of wine, an open forum and such spectacular and professional speakers! Thanks Eloise :)"
Personal Trainer Daniel Henderson, 28, Maroubra
"I have attended Soul Sessions on two occasions and both have been incredible. Soul Sessions provides an energy like no other talk or seminar I have ever been to. It is intimate and feels like a dinner with your best friends whilst you are listening to the best people in their fields. Soul Sessions are inspirational, motivational, warm and dynamic. I can't wait for more soul in 2011!"
Mandy Dodds from Newtown
"I'm feeling more enlightened and smarter after every session! Re Eat Your Heart Out: Nici, I can't wait to come to your cafe and David I have never seen such never ending energy. I am more focussed and motivated to improve my own nutrition and try some of your suggestions. Eloise, you and your friends are making magic happen and I feel blessed to be a part of it."
Hedley Galt from The Presenter Centre
"Eloise! Thank you so much for a lovely evening and what an incredible group of people! Loved every minute of it and so looking forward to being a part of many more events. Look forward to catching up soon. xxx"
Rosie Edmonds
"Thank you Eloise so much for the opportunity to come to Soul Sessions! It was beyond inspirational and I could't have been luckier. I also got such a huge kick of energy out of being there and from the atmosphere in the room. It was amazing being in the same room with so many open minded people. Thanks again for the Best Night Ever!"
Wendy, 36, Fashion Designer
"Thank you Eloise for You and providing us with this opportunity to experience and learn from your speakers not only in an intimate environment but with an honesty and rawness that is really so very touching and real. It's where I believe we have the true opportunity to grow in the absence of egos and status, where we're truly ourselves. Thank you... a thousand times. Thank You! With Much Respect, Wendy x"
Marnie, Director of Medi Makeovers
"Soul Sessions was so enlightening for both me and my guest Nick. We both can relate to Matt's talk and very much so for Dr Brast. I wrote down every Law of Decision and have them up near my desk so I don't forget what's important. I enjoy meeting like minded people the energy in the room is very comforting and inspirational. Please keep me posted on your up and coming events. You really are doing a wonderful thing with Soul Sessions. Keep up the great work! Much love, Marnie xx"
