What my clients say
JJ
As far as courses go it was easy, I just had to listen, take in some sensible pragmatic ideas, I didn’t have to explain my past and dredge up any number of painful experiences, I got to sit looking out at the most beautiful landscape every week while Diane did her magic. I did have to participate in some “meditation” (which was a bit like tree hugging for me) but it worked! I don’t know why, I don’t even want to know why, it just did. I’m now converted and every opportunity I get, I recommend anyone to give it a go.
I can honestly say it has been decades since I have felt this calm, peaceful, relaxed and free. I have tools, very easy ones, to bring me back to this state if I need to, my mind is no longer racing off on some wild tangent that I can’t control, I can make basic practical decisions again without fearing the consequences and I have Diane to thank. I whole heartedly recommend anyone that is looking for that magic fix to give this a go. It’s a wonderful experience.

I came to this course because I realised how stress can be so real in my life. I couldn’t always understand why I felt the stress or anxiousness I did, so I thought this course may help in that way to give me a better understanding.

I came on this course because I suffer from terrible nervousness and anxiety in my normal day to day life. I have a fear of letting people down and am generally very self-conscious.

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.

After having a few one on one sessions with Diane, she suggested I join her next course – “Overcome stress and Restore Balance”, as she thought I would really benefit from it……well benefit I did!!!

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.
