Users' Feedback

“When I read the book I connected with the experiences of illnesses described. I thought that the people quoted were describing how I felt when diagnosed with MS. I felt that here was someone who really knew what it was like someone who was speaking from the heart directly to me.”

“I loved the description of the woman laughing with her daughter when she jumped out from behind the washing line. People forget that you can still laugh when you are ill.”

“I particularly liked the giving thanks track (CD 2).  The idea of smiling down to my heart, lungs and internal organs made me feel wonderful.”

“My favourite track is flawless diamond truly inspiring and uplifting.”

“The tracks on the CD made me realise how much tension I had and that it was okay for me to stop doing and find peace.”

“I think the overall voice of the author is authentic, empathetic and true.”

“I gave the Lifting your Spirits booklet along with the CDs to two of my friends, both of whom found them really, really helpful, wonderful and excellent – the best help they have received.”

“I gave my pack to a young mother of three who was awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Thank you once again for providing a tool that is sensitive and positive in trying times.”

“Andy (who has had a stroke) really likes Lifting Your Spirits - so far we've talked through the introduction and tried the relaxation and breathing tracks.  He did them just before his daily physio and was so relaxed we were able to get his left hand into what was probably the best position ever to be able to do the movements.  Our plan is to do it as a kind of programme and work through all the seven tools.”

I gave my aunt a pack. She has had a recurrence of cancer. She said, 'I love it. As soon as I get back from chemotherapy I lie down and play it to help me recover. I especially love the bluebell wood visualisation. I picture myself there while undergoing chemo. It really helps.'

Also, a client of mine with depression said, ‘It is so relaxing. I can really imagine the bluebell wood and it calms me. It takes me out of my stressed and anxious feelings and allows me to feel calm and peaceful.'
