Ashani Dante

Ashani is an ex-speech pathologist, TEDx Speaker and an Australian Accredited Facilitator. Ashani is the first-senior female facilitator at The Rites of Passage Institute and is paving the way for their school programs for teenage girls across Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.

To date, Ashani has worked with over 4000 teenage girls across Australia. Ashani’s passion originated from being a speech pathologist, where she empowered children with a range of communication disorders to find their voice.

Towards the end of 2016, Ashani found that the rate of depression, anxiety and eating disorders amongst teenage girls were on a rise and it was at that moment that she found herself shifting her passion and focus towards giving teenage girls a voice.
