“I was able to attend your session on ‘Managing Meltdowns.’ I appreciated how you communicated de-escalation and regulation using various methods and showed how they were all communicating the same message.

You clearly communicated practical tools that parents can start using immediately to help regulate themselves and create an environment that gets ahead of a meltdown. As an adoptive parent, I have experienced what a radical difference implementing these principles and practices made in our family.

Thank you for bringing these powerful tools to our families.”

“I heard Dr. Sanders speak at a disability conference for the first time a couple of years ago. Listening to Dr. Sanders’ insight on foster and adoption trauma was eye-opening and incredibly impactful.

She spoke with such honesty and vulnerability, shedding light on the deep emotional struggles adoptees face while also offering hope for healing. She is one of my favorite speakers, and I always leave her session with a deeper empathy and understanding of foster and adoption trauma.”

“Dr. Sanders has spoken at our disability conference for two years now, and we are having her back this year for our third. She is a wonderful speaker that attendees look forward to hearing from each year.

She has spoken on foster and adoption trauma, as well as medical trauma, and is a wealth of knowledge but also very engaging. Our attendees leave her sessions more empowered and inspired, and we look forward to hearing from her each year.”

“Having the privilege of undertaking speaking engagements at numerous events across the country has afforded me the opportunity to be a participant in sessions led by many other professionals. It not only allows me to gain some insight into subjects that lie outside of my expertise, but also to study the speaker’s style of presenting as they engage the audience.Having no prior experience with Dr. Sanders, I attended her session, ‘Domestic Violence and its Impact on the Development of Children Under 2’ in Orem, UT. Her knowledge and passion about the subject were rivaled only by her engaging style and ability to capture the audience’s attention and interest throughout the session.

Although this is often an overlooked skill, Dr. Sanders not only understands how adults learn but employs strategies to facilitate the process. I was so impressed with her session content and presentation skills that I jumped at the opportunity to bring her across the country to be the plenary speaker at my organization’s annual conference. I would recommend Dr. Sanders to anyone interested in her area of expertise.”

I truly believe Dr. Victoria Sanders has changed a whole community in the Central Valley of California (and beyond) with her knowledge, experience, and capacity to educate. From parents to professionals, she has been my #1 resource in trauma-informed practices for both children and adults. It is not just my own preference to have her, but the hundreds of people I have had her teach and coach. With Dr. Sanders, you can count on an immediate ask for more information and high reviews!
