Kind Words
“Revanna is a fantastic facilitator of such an important topic as Circle of Security. She created safe space for us as participants to feel free to share our stories and be vulnerable without judgement. She is an expert in the field and was able to present the information in a clear, concise, and engaging way. I looked forward each week to our classes and was sad when it was all over. It’s not hard to fall in love with her bubbly personality.”
Steve
“I recently completed the COSP course with Revanna Powell and don't have enough words to say how glad I am that I did...I think my kids are too.
To have the space to meet in a group and talk about our individual experiences as parents, guided by the COSP model helped to peel away at the randomness, the challenges, the guilt inducing, but also the opportunities for connection and appreciation of these most important relationships with our children!
As a mom (and a single mom) who wants to be present in my experience not just get through it, the Circle of Security really helped lay a foundation for me to approach the days from.
Thank you Revanna, and thank you to the folks who developed COSP.”
Kate
“Revanna's Circle of Security Parenting Class gave the me the language and tools to respond to my daughter's most difficult moments in a healthy way. I loved being able to connect with other parents in a safe space, supported by a facilitator who is validating and wise. I now have more grace and understanding for myself, my child and other parents. This all feels a bit less impossible.”
Ginny
“I am so grateful to have participated in the Circle of Security Parenting course with Revanna! My husband and I learned so much throughout this course; not just about parenting, but about ourselves and feel empowered to approach our parenting with the indispensable tools we have acquired. This class has also given us the opportunity to see all relationships with an insightful perspective and with more compassion. Revanna’s innate ability to show joy, compassion, and empathy (plus her genuine enthusiasm and encouraging nature) created such a safe place for us to be vulnerable so that we could receive all of the gifts she and this course has to offer. This opportunity is for everyone and I highly recommend it! Thank you so much, Revanna!”
Jane Radomski and Isaac Pulford
“This class was so wonderful. Revanna does a phenomenal job hosting and guiding through COSP. I definitely feel more confident in my ability to parent and nurture a healthy and lasting connection with my baby. It feels great to have language around how I want to raise her so that I can help other people in her life do the same. Revanna is such a kind soul and it felt very natural to learn this from her. She made the concepts understandable and relatable to real life. I enjoyed every class and looked forward to my mornings with her and the group!”
Anastasia, Circle of Security Parenting Class
“When we heard Revanna was offering a class geared for grandparents/caregivers of older children, my wife and I immediately registered. The course helped me to understand and appreciate how I was parented/how I parented and, while I reflected on weaknesses, I also heard it was important to honour my parents and myself for doing our best. And I am now parenting and grand-parenting with a new and raised awareness about how I can offer security to those I care for. Revanna’s wisdom, enthusiasm and guidance helped create a safe container for open sharing, reflection and fun, and this added much to my experience. I recommend this class for anyone caring for children at any age.”
Steve (son, father, step-father, grandparent), Circle of Security Parenting Class
“Our family has worked with Revanna for many years. The joy and care infused in all that she provides is lasting and life-affirming. We feel better simply being in her presence; add to that an enormous knowledge base and a grounded, creative approach to therapy and support, and it’s the true meaning of wholistic care. Revanna has provided us with BodyTalk, Thai massage, doula services - before, during and after the birth of our child, and ongoing care for our entire family. She has a presence that invites healing and is a gift to know and work with.”
Arwen Crowston
“Friends of ours treated us to Revanna’s postpartum doula services because of how incredible their experience had been with her, and not to be dramatic but our own experience was life changing! She is truly skilled in the world of babies and new parents and we always really looked forward to her presence in our home. Our daughter Flora quickly came to love her, offering big smiles when she arrived and our bellies and hearts were always full when she left. I can’t imagine anyone doing as amazing a job as Revanna did, she has incredible intuition, communication, and has a natural finesse in supporting and helping in the tender postpartum time. We can’t recommend her enough.”
Amelia Wolfe, Postpartum Doula Client
“Revanna is a kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable doula. In the weeks following the birth of our first child, we wanted to connect with someone who would provide both reassurance and guidance for a wide range of new-parenting skills we were learning.
Upon meeting Revanna, she made us feel comfortable and at-ease. Her passion for helping families and babies was evident immediately.
Revanna helped us navigate breastfeeding techniques and how to use different styles of baby-carriers. She shared evidence-based knowledge about safe-sleeping practices, soothers, and bottle-feeding, and supported us in our decisions. In addition, Revanna was happy to promptly answer follow-up questions we had, and reached out to check-in on our new family weeks later.
We highly recommend Revanna for your postpartum care!”

“Thank you once again Revanna..for creating a day of gathering, grounding, comfort, connection, and kindness in an atmosphere of warmth, safety and guidance. Your beautiful calm space where we can be our true selves. I am grateful.”
Jane, Retreat Participant
“Revanna has created a beautiful meeting space where I felt safe, nurtured and supported. The day was a wonderful mix of group activity and quiet time to reflect, write, create. Revanna's energy, joyous spirit and playfulness are contagious. I found that the retreat helped me to get out of my head and into my heart and soul and body, to really experience the moment.”
Cheryl, Retreat Participant
“Revanna provided such thoughtful attention to creating a welcoming and nourishing environment to move inward. For me living in a world which seems to privilege busy and external focus it felt delicious to slow down and move inward and I left feeling more centered and more deeply connected to self. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Michelle, Retreat Participant
“Revanna is amazing! I’m so glad she was my Doula, her passionate, strong, nurturing presence was integral to my pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences. She is incredibly well educated in all things birth related and was eager to share everything she’s learned while also gently encouraging me listen to my own inner wisdom.
Doula’s are invaluable. I’m so grateful to have had Revanna by my side.”
Elizabeth Gage, Birth Doula Client
“There is something to be said about a woman’s touch and more specifically Revanna’s touch. With Revanna's love and support, we were able to welcome Charlotte into our lives in a way that left me feeling empowered, strong and connected. Revanna’s support allowed me to trust my body and the process of natural delivery. In moments of difficulty, she gave me the strength I needed to stay with my birth plan and have the experience I was after. Her presence at my daughters’ birth will be something that has touched my life forever.”
