"Rhodes College, to me, was a place to learn, grow and build confidence. The hands-on approach was not only beneficial to my personal life with family and friends, but will also make me a successful counsellor. Armed with theory and experience, I feel I will enter the counselling field with an empathetic and understanding view of human nature. Thank you."

"My year spent at Rhodes was full of incredible learning, beautiful healing. Support from instructors, staff and fellow students, and memories that I will have forever.

I was guided to Rhodes through my own career exploration and personal development. I knew from the first interview with Denise Stroud that Rhodes was the place I needed to be. There hasn't been a day where I didn't feel I belonged and that this was the right path.

I have one week left to go and it feels bitter sweet. I am very ready to take what I have learned and experienced out into the field, yet I know that leaving Rhodes and all the staff and students will be a sad day. I will miss the extended family I have made."

"This school is perfect for someone who wants a change or to better themselves along with learning to help others. I will forever be thankful for what I learned. I am a happy, open, healthy person now who can do anything I want or desire."

"I came to Rhodes to gather the tools needed to launch a new career. As I am preparing to graduate, I realize that not only have I achieved this goal, but I've received a gift I wasn't expecting. Through the experiential process of education, I have discovered a person I admire and have learned to cherish. That person of course is myself. It is as if layers of smog and grime have been allowed to build up until I'd forgotten and could no longer see my own light. With the education and this gift of rediscovering my true nature, I haven't any doubt or fear of what lies in this moment. And isn't that all that really matters? Peace"

"My decision to attend your college was a career change that I felt was very challenging, being away from formal education for many years. With the assistance of your great professional teaching staff, I was able to reframe my life. I have learned, over the past 12 months, new techniques to better myself and others. Now I have tools to solve problems and have developed winning strategies to reach my career goal as a Wellness Life Skills Coach and Counsellor.

To this end it is my personal commitment to help other people overcome their challenges. Thank you Rhodes College and staff."

"In my one year with Rhodes, I have become more aware of who I am and what I want for myself. The styles and techniques the instructors use seem to be exciting and inspiring. I have found, in this course, my strong ability to listen more closely to the words spoken. The hands-on style that is taught here gives you that personal experience you will need out there in the counselling and coaching world. This school also helps you develop and work with your own personal growth."

"Rhodes College is an exciting journey of self discovery and skill building. During my year at Rhodes I learned more about myself than I thought possible. I am excited and ready to put my skills to work at my practicum with the Ministry of Finance in Victoria. I am currently building a Corporate Wellness Program with two other graduates. We will take this to Victoria with a good possibility of securing a contract at the end of the practicum. We are all very excited and Rhodes has made all of this possible."

"It is with sincere gratitude to Rhodes of my experiences. The growth I have achieved in a one year program is immeasurable. Not only was what looked like for me the impossible, I was also a witness to the immense growth of my classmates. I find myself with such enthusiasm when expressing my experiences at Rhodes, being a direct result of their method of teaching, the quality of their facilitators and the incredible way they truly take care of their students. I have climbed over what was once impossible and achieved goals that are, to say the least, incredible.

Overall, I have never grown more in one year than I have at Rhodes. It has guided me in the direction of my dreams and continued supporting and celebrating my accomplishments with me.

Without a doubt, this college stands out in its exceptional quality of teaching, empathy, and being there for students. I leave this college with the experience of a lifetime. Many thanks."

"Throughout my year at Rhodes, I have been consistently impressed by the well rounded program content, the unwavering commitment to the students, and the top-notch quality of the instructors. The instructors, in particular, have made this program invaluable. They are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, committed, and because they walk their talk they have earned my deepest admiration, respect and gratitude.

The experiential nature of this program is ideal for ensuring that information is fully absorbed and applied rather than simply being "book learning". The College's philosophy is for students to first heal themselves in order that they may facilitate the healing of others. Other organizations also say this, yet Rhodes lives and breathes this philosophy. As a result, most students undergo remarkable personal transformations during the program.

I highly recommend this program to anyone who is truly committed to doing their own work and is dedicated to a holistic approach to counselling and coaching."

"My year at Rhodes has definitely been an amazing winding ride. I have bounced around in the past trying to find my path, and now feel that I am on THE path for me. Not only have I learned impressive things about myself, but I am walking away with skills in my tool belt that I could never have imaged I could acquire. I am leaving with not only theories of Wellness Counselling and Coaching, but also with life experiences that will help guide me to a holistic and honest future. I now have a new family of appropriation, that I know our paths will cross and intertwine many times.

Many thanks to all the staff and wonderful instructors that were much more than just that. They gave of themselves in a ways that made everyone feel safe and comfortable. I am leaving the school knowing that I have made a choice that will lead me on a path to many remarkable and fantastic opportunities. Thanks to everyone for offering such wonderful gifts of themselves, we will change the world!"

"In the year that I have been at Rhodes College in the Wellness Counsellor Diploma program, my life has changed. I have made huge shifts in my thinking and in how I am showing up in the world. I have healed wounds that I have been carrying since childhood, some that I didn't even know I was still suffering from or that I even had. I even repaired an estranged family relationship that had gone on for a year, because of the amazing learning and experiences at this phenomenal school.

It is because of all my lessons and the experiential learning that I am more confident and really believe in myself. The teaching staff are caring and very understanding, each with their own unique style. I am thankful to have had every one of them. The support staff are also amazing. They truly do care.

I will never forget this truly healing, wonderful journey that I have been on, and all of the exceptionally beautiful people that shared it with me."

"This past year at Rhodes has been one crazy ride, full of more challenges than I could have ever prepared for. But, for all those challenges there are at least three times the number of great accomplishments that have resulted. I believe than in order to better the world, you must do so first for yourself, otherwise what good are you to anyone. This school has given me the opportunity to fine tune myself through laughter, tears, rage, friendship and a community.

I feel as though I have climbed a mountain and yet the journey's just beginning. For anyone up for a true challenge of will, I recommend this school. When you have come this far, you can never go back!"

"I came to Rhodes to get a diploma in counselling and coaching. I felt I was pretty balanced in life. Things always worked out for me when I trusted in "the Universe". I wanted to add to my health care background and get paid for something I had been doing my whole life.

Well, ha ha ha ..... Rhodes helped me to delve into myself, my patterns, my behaviours as well as my family issues, relationship patterns, etc. What an amazing experience I have had this past year. I would love for everyone to take this program as I feel the world would be a happier healthier place."

"My experience at Rhodes Wellness College has been very positive and given me the skills I needed to develop confidence in myself as a counsellor and a coach. I have a whole new understanding around mental and emotional wellness. It has opened up curiosity for exploration to restructure my unhealthy behaviours and traits.

Being in a class where experiential learning is happening really gave me a different set of eyes where people are concerned. I learned so much about myself by what is mirrored in fellow classmates. Having experienced the different personality types and coaching / counselling my peers readies me for future clients."

"Wow!  What a wonderful journey coming to Rhodes.  I’ve learned so much in such a short time.  Experiential learning goes deep and becomes a part of you. I believe I have so much to offer clients. I know how to identify and express what is needed in each moment. Instead of fear I feel excited for the future. I am moving to the States and not sure what will come my way for me there.  One thing I do know for sure is it will be exactly right for me.  The staff at Rhodes have made themselves available as always.  They are continuing to support me through my move.  I have built life long friendships and support systems here at Rhodes.  Thanks everyone.

PS. The money I spent to come to Rhodes was the best investment I have ever made. It was invested in ME!"
