"Highly recommend studying at the College of Conscious Living. I just graduated from my HICAT course online and had an amazing experience, personally and professionally. The course is very well delivered, and all my questions were answered super quickly I finish feeling very grateful and inspired to help other people.
Thanks, Sanja"
Louise, 2022
"I am full of gratitude having completed the HICAT Course yesterday. As a Social Worker, Trainer and Artist myself, I now have more clarity and confidence to set up my private practice using creative therapies in my clinical practice to support and empower my ideal clients!!
The online delivery has given me great ideas of how to offer services with clients 1:1 and to Groups via Telehealth and in person.
The evidence-based research and supporting resources with practical activities each week has helped me reassess my own beliefs and develop my abilities to know how to incorporate colour, sound, storytelling and whole-body movement into my practice, plus I now have so many other skills including business setup and ongoing strategic planning.
I have valued Sanja's facilitation style, sense of humour, professional experience, explanation of assessments and the safe space she created for personal sharing. Sanja, thank you for valuing each of us and helping us each explore our uniqueness.
If you are on the fence about enrolling in this course, ask all of the questions you need to be able to choose the course that resonates with you the most. I went with this one and am finishing full of hope for my classmates, my future clients and myself, personally and as a Business Owner and Practitioner/Therapist.
I would be happy to answer your questions from a student perspective and I know that Sanja would welcome your enquiries about the course she is offering.
Love your life with an Open Heart."
Evelyn, 2022
"Sanja is an amazing teacher and I have absolutely enjoyed my Creative Arts studies at the College of Conscious Living so much that I am also studying the Sound and Vibrational Healing advanced practitioner training. The online study experience has been easy with all modules being concise and easy to access. I have studied at a variety of universities and private institutions and my experience with the College of Conscious Living has been fantastic. I definitely recommend studying with the College of Conscious Living."
Josie, 2022
"I completed my HICAT practitioner studies in April this year and followed straight into the Post graduate course in Sound and Vibration. I have enjoyed both so much.
Sanja is such a lovely, generous, welcoming person, always supportive and encouraging. It’s such a pleasure to have met her.
There is a wealth of information in this course, both courses actually. The potential to create the career that you desire is here; how ever you may choose to make it. Or even if it’s for your own personal development, this is such a fantastic course to learn more about yourself.
Do I recommend this course? Wholeheartedly yes, I do. This has been such a wonderful, enlightening, journey and I’m thankful for being led here.
Many thanks Sanja for the gift that you are."
Tunya, 2022
"Sanja’s teachings were so heartfelt and shared in a way that made me feel so comfortable in sharing my own story while being fully supported. I thoroughly enjoyed doing my studies in Holistic Integrated Arts Therapy, it opened my eyes to a whole new world and personally changed the way I see and process things. Absolutely Life changing! Thank you Sanja for your magic, your kindness and your authenticity so grateful I trusted my “signs” and found my way to you!"
Lisa, 2021
"I loved the HICAT course not only for its focus on creativity but the learning it offered about so many different forms of creativity that really opened my mind and heart to what I could do as a business. The content covered about running your own business was both practical and valuable. I feel empowered to fulfil my dream of earning an income doing something I love."
Kylie, 2020
"I came across HICAT last December after I had been looking for my own form of non-clinical therapy for my girls to do after I had separated from my husband earlier that year. It dawned on me that I now had an opportunity to do my own study to help other children in need. This is when I came across HICAT, this course couldn't have come at a better time in my life with my current circumstances of ending my marriage. Not only was I able to heal myself and help my children to heal through the therapy practices, but I was also introduced to a beautiful group of like-minded people who were all on their own journeys. The course covered so many wonderful types of therapies as well as well as basic the psychology behind why humans behave the way do after a trauma, and ways in which we would be able to help them when we graduated. I can't recommend Sanja enough with her own holistic approach to teaching and also being able to relax and have fun with the group. I am forever happy I found HICAT and I am looking forward to helping others with my newfound skills. "
Larissa, 2020
"A great course for those who desire to know more about themselves in order to assist others in their life's journey. Participants will be confident to orchestrate that through art and creative projects. You will gain all the appropriate knowledge required from the informative course material. The course modules are easy to follow and understand, and the teachers are great! I personally enjoyed meeting up every Tuesday, loved the personal interactions and the ability to share and connect with like-minded individuals."
