Tana’s knowledge and understanding of mental health illness in all its complexities is extensive, and she has a unique perspective on the solution to the rising numbers battling with mental ill-health. Her Monkey Wisdom programme shines a light on the underlying causes of emotional and mental health issues and provides, real, practical, and deeply transformational solutions to facilitate mental wellbeing.

Tana is a shining example of resilience and a driving force for promoting mental wellness in both children and adults.

With a backstory marked by twenty-five years in teaching and over a decade as a Trauma therapist and Transformation Coach, Tana has truly transformed adversity into advocacy.  

She's brave. She's bold. She goes there. She says things many wouldn't have the guts, confidence, self-awareness or intelligence to articulate. And it's not all just fantastic storytelling, Tana's mission to change lives is clear - she educates you in a way you didn't even know you were being educated.”

Tana Macpherson-Smith - indset transformation coach

As a teacher and over the past 10 years as a therapist and
mindset transformation coach, I have worked with thousands of children and I
have gathered a mass of evidence as to the impact of what children see and hear
and experience on their mental and emotional wellbeing.

I have used this data to develop a bespoke approach to helping young people with their mental health

which I look forward to sharing at the conference.
