Testimonials

“Did one of these courses with Dee and have to say it was superb, very enjoyable and very relaxing. Dee is a wonderful teacher and very experienced. It really was very beneficial to me and I would have no hesitation in recommending it” (Babs Morris)

“Well thought out, gentle, and inviting us to practise what we were able for“

Dee’s style in handling both the course content and the people is fantastic. I have really appreciated the positive messages and techniques that I got from the course I found the course enormously helpful as the whole theme of befriending yourself will help you to be more at one with yourself and others. And by befriending others you feel better about yourself thus effectively building a circle of positivity.The course was very helpful to me personally and it was delivered by Dee in a very positive and encouraging way.
