"Benig's workshops and talks are powerful and profound because of her soulful and intimate way of working with people. A strong teacher and speaker as well as therapist and writer, Benig is gifted with the ability to provide information while coming directly from the heart, and touches participants through compassionate engagement, moving them into their own hearts." Editor, Healer

"Benig's workshop was the best I have attended in a long time, a combination of deep inner work and physical play which included singing, dancing, writing and drawing. She held us as we told our stories, moved through our grief, relived our past through our presence with each other. Benig has the ability to adapt to the participants' needs, and the strength to guide the group to a compassionate whole. Her books are simple enough for the layman and yet complex enough to hold the attention of the clinical worker. Wonderful!" Singer and songwriter

"With the use of archetypes, fairy tales and dream enactment, Benig encouraged us to explore how our earliest experiences shape our patterns of relating. I found Benig to be a very human and compassionate woman who shared some of her own journey with us thus enabling us to do the same. A truly healing and transformative experience!” Social Care Worker

"Benig's workshop was for me in ONE word an AWAKENING." Psychotherapist

"Benig just knows when to go forward, when to withdraw ... What more can be said ... She embraces us at all times." Holistic Massage Therapist

"I found the Healing from within workshop was a very special weekend where I got to meet new friends who shared openly the heartbreak in their lives and the struggles around this. All this was made possible by the safe and contained space provided by Benig. Her unique way of working encouraged an unfolding of the sacred process of healing." Counselor, artist

"It is always important to express the feelings involved in loss."

"Nowadays we need to build soul stamina; we need to be able to endure hardship, and grow from it. It is no longer enough to simply be aware of soul and to be prepared to heal our wounds. We need to develop the capacity to endure."

"Facilitating the movement from enduring the suffering of early painful experiences, learning from them and transcending them, I consider one my main tasks as a therapist."

"Experiencing profound love and heartbreak is also the conduit to learning to love unconditionally and to experience compassion."

"The marriage of psychology and spirituality is one of my main foci, because the time has come when our evolution demands it."

"We are largely unconscious of what story we might be living, but if we do not work at becoming conscious, we identify with the drama, so that we live, act and behave as the characters we identify with."

"At the core of falling in love is a vision of wholeness."

"It often takes great courage to accept the challenges that the soul sets up for us."

"When we love we are immediately in the realm of the soul."

"Our hearts are the messengers of our spirits, so that listening to the heart connects us with our soul and our life's purpose."

"One thing is clear ... healing always comes from within."
