I’m writing to offer my endorsement and support for Diane Stride’s extraordinary “Reducing Stress and Increasing Fulfillment Program”. Her wisely and carefully developed program is grounded on a solid foundation of mindfulness tools and clinical interventions and skills that have been repeatedly demonstrated in clinical research to significantly benefit a wide range of stress related diseases and conditions.

It was with a great deal of scepticism and caution that I agreed to do this course with Diane. I was however, determined to go in with a completely open mind as what do I know in the grand scheme of things and I had nothing to lose if it worked (other than a few excess pounds).

I decided to attend a mindfulness training course, after a bitter end to a long term relationship. I was devastated. Over time I have come to appreciate where responsibility lies, things I can change and things I can’t; and how to be kinder and more compassionate to myself, and others.

I am a young female running my first start up business, and I hadn't realised that I was struggling with stress until I started experiencing heart palpitations. I really wanted to learn how to identify stress and then, manage it effectively. I really enjoyed this course and loved her relaxing environment. We learnt about the brain, toxic thoughts and identifying the emotions and physical reactions within us in relation to stress.

I came across Diane's details and thought to myself that I would love to get a meal-plan and receive advice in regard to my IBS and losing weight. However, when I visited Diane, she quickly identified that a "meal-plan" would not be beneficial. Diane is hugely experienced in the 'nutrition world' and over time has realised that a meal plan does not solve the underlying issues.

A week after starting Renew with Diane, I began to feel instant changes in my mental and emotional well-being. After 2-3 weeks I was more myself than I had been in years and now that I have finished the course I feel as though my life has changed in a way I never thought possible. Renew has enabled me to learn tools that will help me for years to come and I would 100 percent recommend it to anyone who feels they need to make a change for the better.
