Testimonials

  • This is something which will stick with me for life and actually grows more.

    I found the learning on the course to be enlightening and it is something that always feels like it’s there, unlike other training or courses, the content of which fades quite quickly. This is something that will stick with me for life and actually grows more”.

    Tom Toogood, Technical Advisor, Environment Agency. (1 year on from undertaking Resilience Program)

  • The big difference with this course is its permanency

    The big difference with this course compared to other mental health/wellbeing interventions is it’s permanency.

    It is about building resilience now and for the future to sustain mental wellbeing rather than to fix a short term or immediate crisis.”

    Mark Russell, Head of Centre, Environment Agency. (1 year on from attending Resilience Program)

  • The glasses need to be viewed so you can realise your own presence and peace

    It was like being given pair of new glasses to see the world. The glasses might shakeup everything you thought or they might deepen everything you already knew. Whatever they do the glasses need to be viewed so you can realise your own presence and peace.

    Gina Hayes, Yoga Teacher, Director of Yoga Sunshine - small group coaching program

  • I have found myself in a calmer place since doing the RAW training...

    I felt something really shifted in me in a positive way that day. Kirstien was a very skillful facilitator finding the right balance of giving psychological theory for reflection and holding space for people to talk. I felt really heard and validated and it was very team building too. I have found myself in a calmer place since doing the RAW training and much more present. The venue is absolutely beautiful in nature and very peaceful, the perfect environment to have an away day, let go of work and come back to the self and re-set.

    Anna Berkley. Midwife. Attended 1 day RAW training

  • I now have a completely different appreciation for life, people and perspectives.

    “This course is a life-changer and a game-changer. I have a completely different appreciation for life, people and perspectives. I also am stress and anxiety free. I really now also understand how damaging and pointless that anxiety and stress was”.

    Mark Roden - Operations Manager (1 Year on from undertaking Resilience program)

  • It didn't feel like pressure just a gentle teasing in a new direction

    “Everything was encouraged, allowed - there were no rights and wrong with how things landed for us. It didn't feel like pressure just a gentle teasing in a new direction. Loved it!"

    Sophia Chowdry, Film Set Decorator - small group coaching program

  • I have felt myself feel more settled, more accepting of myself and more able to meet the challenges in my life.

    Thank you so much Kirstien and Sarah. This has been a brilliant experience. Week by week I have felt myself feel more settled, more accepting of myself and more able to meet the challenges in my life. From the moment I set foot in the field, you helped me to feel welcome and at ease. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to spend time with such a wise, kind group of people in such a beautiful space.

    Tallulah Street, Yoga Teacher (after 3 month psychological fitness program)

  • I've seen its possible to live without blame and let go of heaviness from the past

    “I’ve touched an incredible deep sense of wellbeing that can’t be taken away, even by illness or death.

    In my moments of insight I have felt light and free, and really really well in a deeply peaceful way. I’ve seen that it’s possible to live without blame and to let go of lots of heaviness from the past I was still carrying”.

    Pip Jones Mindfulness & Breathworks Director of Skylarker, after 6-month small group coaching program

  • I am motivated to take on the world with new ideas and a fresh perspective.

  • I find Kirstien's commitment to transforming issues and difficulties refreshing and inspiring

    I have had the pleasure of working with Kirstien for over 5 years. As well as becoming a valued friend my experience is that she brings with her a high level of willingness to create great relationships, great work and has consistently produced great results. I find her commitment to transforming issues and difficulties refreshing and inspiring and I am constantly surprised at her level of ability in perceiving what works. I know that her wealth of personal qualities and background experience will always make a big difference for people.

    Simon Daly, Director InterBe, Transformative Learning & Development

  • Nothing has come as close to being as transformative

    In my 20 years in the workplace I have experienced a lot of training. Nothing has come close to being as transformative as what Kirstien and Claire invited us to experience. If you get the chance, take it in a heartbeat!
