After following a 6-week course with Alison, to see if it might help me cope with the pain arising from chemotherapy following treatment for cancer, I am able to say that my mindset has substantially improved.
I am now more able to accept my situation using mindfulness techniques and applying them in my daily life. My mindset of despondency is gradually improving which hopefully will improve matters further going forward.
Alison has an engaging personality which I found very reassuring such that I looked forward to each session in my mindfulness journey.
Thank you for everything Alison!

Following an on-line course with Alison, I am feeling amazing benefits regarding my ability to control and work with the pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I had been taking maximum doses of all prescribed painkillers but still struggled. Mindfulness techniques and an understanding of my own inner strength and resources have meant a reduction of medication and a new positive attitude. Depression is lifting and I aim to maintain my progress as I have been left with a toolbox of help and techniques to draw from. Thank you so much Alison!

I have had the privilege of experiencing Alison’s guidance in learning how to deal with life’s stressful situations.
She is highly professional, and the combination of her experience, understanding and gentleness enabled her to guide me through a difficult time in my life and helped me to understand my feelings.
Throughout our sessions she listened to me and provided the support and encouragement that I needed.
She was able to offer practical solutions as well as teaching me how to use mindfulness to deal with stress and anxiety.
Her compassion and kindness have truly transformed my life.

Nothing was too much trouble.
Alison you are a star and I will miss our meetings
I have also learnt so much about how to deal with chronic pain. Thankyou

I knew about mindfulness and had experimented with it through apps on the phone, however it requires a teacher, a guru to guide you.
It is then that you fully feel the impact of this practice. Once you feel the power of mindfulness, there is no looking back.
Alison has a simple , focused approach which anyone can understand and follow.
Highly recommended.
Joel, HR Training & Development Manager
As a beginner to mindfulness, I found that training in person with Alison gave me a hands-on learning experience. Alison was able to simplify the principles and practices of mindfulness in a way that was easy to understand and apply in day-to-day life.
I had a deeper learning experience training with Alison compared to learning online or using books, videos, or apps. I have used the digital formats to reinforce what I have learnt in the course.
I was able to share my experiences and learn from the experiences of other participants which reinforced the learning process.
There is a distinct personal touch to learning in person with Alison. Her presence and energy make a big difference in having the best mindfulness experience.

Alison introduced me to mindfulness in a systematic way. Even though I was interested in it and had read books, and watched You Tube videos, interacting with Alison made it more personal and I really appreciated having her support on the journey.
Though I keep falling off the practice from time to time, I do recognise the value that comes from this simple practice. I would wholeheartedly recommend both Alison and mindfulness to anyone interested in learning.
