Previous course participants said:

“I signed up because I was struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, Juliet was amazing and since doing the course I haven’t had a panic attack, would highly recommend.”

 “I was nervous as I knew there would be a bit of group sharing but I very quickly settled and actually the group became a really great support network for me. I got so much out of the shared experience part, I realised I wasn’t alone and that other colleagues were struggling too. What a powerful course – I’ve been telling everybody to it!”

“Thank you, Juliet, you helped me manage my anxiety more effectively. Thanks so much again for your positivity!”

Is this course right for me . . .

This course might be slightly different to any you've done before in that there is a real emphasis on sharinged expereince and we know that might not be for everyone. However we believe there is real benefit, power and strength in sharing and learning with others.

So please have a think before you sign up if this course is definitely right for you. What we will say though is that testimonials from previous participants have shown that being involved in supportive group sessions like this that can be transformative and life changing. So why not give it a go!
