Kim, Mid North Coast Child & Family Interagency

"Annamarie is a fantastic speaker both in small groups and as a conference presenter. We were looking for someone to speak to community workers and practitioners at a parenting conference about best practice in repairing attachment. She was easy to work with and a great story teller. The audience was really engaged and we received amazing feedback. I would definitely work with her again."
