Bio
Tania Agliozzo
Kirsten has incredible insight and understanding of positive psychology. Her passion for and knowledge of well-being science, specifically its application through coaching, makes her a compelling and engaging teacher. A natural mentor, Kirsten is warm, wise and welcoming as she facilitates positive change and growth within individuals and organisations.

In 2020 and 2021 our organisation engaged Kirsten as the lead for our education programs both virtually and in person. Kirsten provided a wealth of knowledge and guidance in this area across all platforms and was able to engage at an extremely high level with all stakeholders involved. Her positive outlook and experience in this area was invaluable and provided an extremely professional aspect to all medical seminars. Kirsten also provided our team with invaluable guidance and support with workplace wellbeing workshops and goal setting workshops ensuring the delivery of the best outcomes for each individual and providing the tools to succeed. Kirsten’s workshops were always engaging and exceptional in content drawing on her vast experience as a positive psychology coach. I would highly recommend Kirsten to other organisations as a valuable partner in producing satisfied and high impact teams.

Kirsten has made a huge impact with my teams and I would highly recommend her to other organisations.
