Testimonials & Voices from the field
This page isn’t about boasting—it’s about bearing witness.
At Spark, we believe that good training isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about connection, reflection, and transformation. The most meaningful feedback doesn’t come from evaluation forms; it comes from the quiet impact a session leaves behind: a shift in language, a deeper pause before responding, a sense of clarity where there was once overwhelm.
What we share here are not just kind words—they're reflections of how this work lives in the real world. From senior leaders to frontline practitioners, here’s what people have said about Anisha’s approach to training and facilitation:
“Anisha has a unique ability to combine trauma-informed expertise with grounded, practical wisdom. She’s an excellent facilitator — clear, engaging, and deeply empathetic.”
— Corinna Lim, Executive Director, AWARE
“Anisha works with one of the most difficult fields of practice — sexual violence. Her training brings a deeper appreciation of survivors’ lived experiences, their challenges, and their personal and systemic triumphs. With a strong theoretical grounding in trauma theory, restorative justice, and sexual violence, she provides a solid foundation that’s both practical and reflective.
Anisha trains with both the client and the practitioner in mind, enabling participants to consolidate their learning and shape their own style of journeying with clients. She gently challenges, creates space for reflection, and supports learners in arriving at insights that support meaningful practice. Her training is an opportunity to open both minds and hearts to this complex and important work.”
— Udhia Kumar, Social Worker with 30 years of experience
“Attending Anisha’s trainings and workshops has been instrumental in my growth as a helping professional. Whether it’s becoming more mindful of the language and perspectives I use—especially when supporting clients through trauma-informed practices—or enhancing work processes, Anisha puts a lot of thought into every step.
She never fails to challenge the ‘norm’ with insightful questions. I’ve always felt her compassion in her sharing and her passion for delivering impactful trainings. I’m fully engaged in her sessions and always leave feeling inspired to make a bigger difference. I look forward to participating in more trainings with Spark Social Ventures.”
