Patricia, Teacher, 2010: 
"Kathy has inspired me to change my view of myself by 180 degrees. Following two motivational sessions with her and a lovely Reiki session, I have improved my eating habits, my sleeping habits, I've given up smoking (for good!) and I'm exercising regularly. I feel so positive and in control of myself and that is an amazing turnaround. Kathy's approach is totally encouraging and supportive and completely non-judgmental. Jump in with Kathy where you are and she'll inspire you too. I've just started her brand new Zumba classes which is great fun. It took me two hours to cool down but it was a happy glow that I felt :)"

LIFE COACHING,
NLP, PSYCH-KR, EFT
and VISUALISATION

J, Civil Servant :  "I would like to say thank-you for helping me realise what is important to me, and help me move forward leaving my past behind."  (Life Coaching, NLP, kinaesiology muscle testing and healthy living advice)

Lisa G, HR Director, May 2011:  
"I started working with Kathy almost 3 years ago.  My focus was about weight, health, diet, fitness and wellbeing.  Through the support Kathy gave me, I now drink water continually through the day without even having to think about it, I stopped drinking fizzy drinks every day and broke my sugar addiction.  I’ve lost weight, inches from my waist and I feel better and healthier.  I also go to the gym twice a week as with Kathy's support I've found a way to make this work for me and fit in with my busy life.   Three years on from my first appointment, 90% of what I wanted to achieve has not only been achieved, it’s now part of my everyday life!  So many times before I’ve started out with good intentions but they’ve fallen by the wayside…not this time!  Through Kathy’s support I’ve made fundamental, positive and lasting changes to my life.  I’ve just had a booster session to work on the other 10% and I feel confident that I can make those changes.  Not only is Kathy great at what she does but she’s a lovely, kind, warm, supportive and fun person to work with.  Thank you Kathy for everything!! "


A mother wanted to stop drinking alcohol "mindlessly" every day.  Done!


Juno, after EFT/NLP session :  "I found it surprisingly cathartic.  You were very sensitive and easy to open up to.  Thank-you!"

Garcia, Communication Coach :   "You are solar power.  Your warmth and generosity guide me daily.  Thank you for the vibes, they enrich me constantly."


R, Management Consultant:  "I contacted Kathy after a very difficult time in my personal life, a sudden and violent loss of a close family member, when I felt extremely helpless and down.  My goal was to regain a sense of control over my life, my emotions and my energy levels, and Kathy really helped.  Kathy helped me to think about who I was, underneath the sadness, and who I wanted to be.  Kathy also helped me to start taking control and move towards that person I used to be, and wanted to be again.  It is now 6 months later and I feel so much more myself, stronger, and more able to look forward."



David, Business Coach and Civil Servant (focussing on delivering confident Presentations):

"Kathy helped me to overcome my challenge in presenting to prospects.  She is so relatable and down-to-earth... the sessions were empowering and enjoyable." 



Jai, Presenter/Personal Trainer/NLP Master/Confidence Coach :  
"Thank you for your ongoing support, I sometimes tell myself that my questions are just trivial but working on them with you has prevented a lot of negative self-talk from draining my energy.  Wanted to let you know you are 100% natural goodness for people who want results."
And: "Little short note to let you know that I have benefitted wonderfully from the regular phone coaching.  You have given me the tools to manage my work load and I have better relationships with my work colleagues (clients).  Thank you for your patience and worldly knowledge.  I wanted to let your other clients know what an asset you are to everyone you meet:-) " 

Sashi : "Kathy you transformed my life.  Thank you so much:-) ."


B, Performing Artist :  "After I saw you the other week, I felt energized, motivated invigorated and so inspired thank you so very much.  I am glad I have found you and you are now officially my 'miracle coach' !!!  ...very positive all round and inviting abundance into my life. On the same day I saw you I got myself a new job... and because I was so present and enthusiastic they offered me work there and then...:-)  I have also met my 'partner' so it seems..."

Sales Team Manager:  "You're amazing, I love your inspiration and support.  How did I get to Cambridge?  Thank you for your life lasting support."


N, International Fashion Consultant:  "I just wanted to let you know how much you really helped me when I was in London. I was feeling really lost and confused and you made me feel in control again.   I loved the time that I spent with you and learnt so much about myself. I have even been looking into doing a Reiki course after our time together.  The techniques you use and the manner in which you present them was so beneficial to me.  Thank you so much..."


A client wanted to reduce 3 cups of coffee a day to 1 or none.  After a short treatment, she reduced to 3 coffees a week or less.  "Had one coffee since Friday!"


L, Administrator :  "What did you do to me?!  I've reduced my (5 hours a day) TV watching habit by 50% to an "in control" 2 and-a-half hours a day, am more selective and enjoy it more."

HR Manager for a national rail company won a Court Case despite hugely awkward problems that affected her home, marriage, ex-colleagues and career.  Afterwards she moved to the house of her dreams - in just the right place - just as she'd visualised in our sessions.  Congratulations! 

Lady, 30's, paralysed and wheel-chair bound after an accident many years ago, reported that she had made as much (physical) healing progress in 5 weeks (5 sessions) as she had in the past 2 years!  From no sensations in her legs at all, she progressed to tingling in 1 foot, then in both, some feeling down the back of 1 leg, and felt more contact with the cushion she sits on in her wheelchair.  We then had a year's break. 
Working with her again, after 1 session she reported the next week that she can now feel the movement of water swishing in the bath - a feeling not felt since the paralysing accident!  For the first time in a long while, she looks forward to a more positive future and getting back to "normal".  (Using NLP, Reiki, EFT, Visualisation, strength and mobility exercises and dietary advice)

Elderly widow used to get tearful and cry whenever she went upstairs after her husband died (albeit 10 years earlier).  NLP and other techniques allowed her to over-ride those feelings and feel less sad, more calm and in control of those emotions so she could get on with her daily activities like gardening.  She also felt more relaxed than she can remember (with Reiki) and was able to sleep deeply.  She learnt how to instantly recall happy times and the feelings that come with being happy.  Working on the physical plane, her body is also far stronger, stable with better balance (less likely to fall over) and the stairs no longer present a problem.

PERSONAL FITNESS TRAINING,
HEALTHY DIET AND LONGEVITY



"Kathy is an inspirational personal trainer. She gets the balance right between carrot and stick - getting you to work out longer and further than you'd perhaps imagine you could, to maximise the benefits."
- David Whistance
"The remarkable thing about Kathy's personal training sessions was how adaptable she was.  When I was a pregnant mother, with a toddler, she would alter the class depending on whether we needed to be quiet for the sleeping child or outside. She was careful to monitor my changing needs as my pregnancy progressed, keeping me wonderfully, but safely, fit throughout.
She even had me using my children as weights to lift!
We both really miss her now we are no longer in London."
- Rosalind Whistance

Busy working mother wanted to cut out chocolate, takeaway junk food and cakes from her diet.  Done!  This has had a positive impact on bloating, IBS, skin, and energy levels.

Teenager needed to lose weight and start university looking and feeling better about her body than before.  She successfully lost over 5 stone in a year, naturally, and rightly proud of achieving her new figure and becoming a lovely shapely young lady with even more confidence than before.     
(Personal Fitness, NLP and Reiki)

M, Company Director and Restauranteur :
"Well, Kathy is always bright and cheerful which I love, she helps you brush away all the day-to-day rubbish that preoccupies one's mind, she dispels that lethargy that can set in when the world overwhelms one; she spurs me on to keep my standards of everything personal high, she brings out the positive in one and gives out energy, she always finds something encouraging to say whatever state one is in, her detailed records can show that progress has been made which can help sometimes.  My feeling of well being is much more consistent than before both emotionally and physically."


M, Author, Lobbyist, and Former Chair of CND.  (Personal Fitness training, Life Coaching, NLP, Reiki) :
"Kathy stuck by me when I lost my job and suffered from depression: I was monosyllabic and barely spoke but doctors are convinced that that is the reason why I beat that episode in an astonishingly short time and was able to go on and start a successful freelance career.  Kathy's determined and persistent encouragement really kept me going.   She is herself a remarkable advertisement for sheer grit, tenacity and dedication and somehow manages to transfer these qualities to clients of all kinds.   I strongly recommend her as a trainer, life coach and great all-around human being!


A lady was on paid leave from a stressful, demanding job for an aggressive Law firm :
A few years ago, I initiated her return to fitness: her periods re-started after over a year!  I coached her through her return to work, finding a new job and moving to her dream house in the country.  Here are excerpts from her letter.   "As one of the starting points in helping me change my life for the better, I wanted to let you know our fantastic news.  Despite being told by conventional medics that we'd never have a family, I was astonished to discover just a few weeks ago that I am pregnant!  It's a bit nerve wracking as we are only at 11/12 weeks but we are thinking positive and looking forward to a wonderful outcome... I shall never forget the difference you started to make with so much positive energy when I had been in the depths of despair.  It is almost 2 years since I started the sessions with you and although it has taken time... I have continued to build myself back into the person I always knew I could be before I got stuck in a London grave that was never me!  However I don't look back with regret, I just think of it as inevitable self discovery and part of the rich tapestry."    
She later wrote to say that she now has a healthy baby!


Rachel, Costume Maker/Seamstress:  
"There's not much Kathy doesn't know about fitness.  She herself is the fittest person I know.
She always invests alot of time and care in her personal clients and gets excellent results.  Her Zumba classes in Clapham and Dulwich are fun and energising and Kathy ensures everyone who attends them has fun as well as getting a good workout."

Marjorie Ellis Thompson, C3i :
"I first met Kathy when she was doing personal training, prior to her reiki and life coaching business. She was a great motivator...unfortunately due to job loss and other events, I plunged into depression. Kathy was the only thing that kep me going. I remember days of total silence, yet Kathy put up with a complete zombie. Kathy herself has come through a lot of things in life and is one of the most postiive, joyful people I know. She will enhance your life!"

Top Qualities: Personable, High Integrity, Creative


A, Housewife and Mother :
"I was feeling pretty low - despite the success of the recent surgery.  I was especially fed up because I couldn't get into any of my clothes and I had an overwhelming desire to eat non-stop.  Taking exercise was part of the things I started to try to shift the balance of the way I felt - negative to positive... , ridding myself of 'victim' psychology, Taking control of the situation!  Empowering myself to move in the direction I wanted - healthier, happier.  These are the key benefits.  Also - my body does feel better - and maybe even look better." 


David, 30's, IT Consultant, formerly with the Territorial Army : 
"I feel in great shape.  I have lost a stone and a half in two months.  I feel better than ever and much more motivated in my work.  Well worth the money and effort."


Bride-to-be
:
"Tried on dresses and slipped easily into size 10s.  Thank you for providing the motivation!"    
 
Later, as the Bride:
"I wanted to thank you so much for your support in the months leading up to my wedding.  Due to your regular encouragement and your sound advice, I felt fantastic on my special day.  I felt relaxed, calm, healthy and glowing with excitement.  I owe much of this to you...Once again, thanks for making my day so special."     
Groom:
"What can I say... looked amazing, stunning, beautiful - and therefore thank you for helping her with her fitness and health."


A Grandparent
couldn't open jars.  This caused problems, especially for someone living alone.  Specific exercises for 2 weeks built enough strength to open jars unaided, easily.


Professional working mother, late 30s :
Unfit, overweight and on prescribed medication, she wanted routine - and to lose weight.  Reviewed her diet to include more "happy" food and less sluggish food.  Using exercise, intrinsic motivation, involving the whole family and working towards her own goals, she lost 6" off her waist within 3 months.  Her increased activity induced endorphins and serotonin production: feel-good brain chemicals which lasted beyond our sessions together enabling her to begin reducing her medication; the whole family ate better too - spreading good health! 


Cecile, Chef :  
Tall, willowy, very slim lady, mother of two toddlers, working part-time, smoked cigarettes, no previous injuries.  Cecile told me that she wanted to be stronger and have more energy.  After some months working together, she said that the physical benefits affected her personal and emotional life in positive ways so she was better able to cope (her husband was violent to her).  Subsequently, she left her abusive husband, moved out of London and proudly told me that she "ran for 1 hour, had not smoked for 5 days and remembers everything you told me"!  A happy move.


S, Recruitment Consultant : 
"The best lesson Kathy has taught me has been about diet management and she has re-educated my eating patterns - which could be described as high in sugar and disorganized.  She is a great personality, full of light, life and energy and has taught me to fit in exercise whenever you can, however you can.  Kathy is a ray."

R E I K I

Man, felt a bit run down, physically weak, depressed:
"Very good.  Body feels energised; can feel my heart, feel warm, full." 
(This full Reiki treatment balanced his chakras.)

Before Reiki treatment, a lady told me that she was feeling overly emotional, tearful, sensitive, insecure, confused, stressed and slightly unsettled, tired, achey, with knee and hip pain. 
After the Reiki: "Feel much more relaxed, was actually able to empty my mind and drift a little, which doesn't happen often!  Feel like I could sleep well (or better) tonight... feel quite tired!" 

My mother's knee was swollen to twice the size of her other knee, and she was in pain.  Gave 1 Reiki treatment before bedtime; the next day she complained that she'd been to the loo alot during the night - that was the water draining from her knee!  2 days later, I gave 15minutes Reiki and she later texted: "My knee feels good, even last night."  The following day, she texted: "My knee has dimples instead of a big bulbous knee!!! Not much pain and am not taking paracetemol.  Thanks again for the Reiki and I hope you can do it long-distance."

'Lily' came to me for Reiki following receiving this letter from Lead/Nurse Colposcopist dated 12 May 2010: "We have now received your result following your visit to the Colposcopy clinic on 11 March 2010.  The repeat cervical smear has again shown a minor abnormality called mild dyskaryosis.."
After regular Reiki treatments every few weeks, 'Lily' showed me the following good news letter from the same Lead/Nurse dated 21/9/10:  "Following your visit to the Colposcopy Clinic on 10th September 1020, we are pleased to inform you that your smear was normal."
'Lily' told me that the only change she made in her lifestyle was having Reiki treatments.

Before Reiki, this lady felt sad, angry, depressed, unstable and confused but physically OK and reasonably healthy and fit.  After Reiki, "Very peaceful. Saw waves."  We anchored the feelings of peace and happiness with a physical trigger for her to access whenever she needs to in the future.


Reiki treatments lasting just 20 minutes at a Pamper Party: 
"Most relaxed I've felt in 2 months."
"I saw lots of clouds, very wispy ones."
They also drank less alcohol at the party!


This lady told me she was feeling down and gave herself a 3/10 score for both emotional and mental feelings.  
After Reiki: "I feel great, peaceful."  She gave herself 8/10 scores, an immensely improved mood up from 3/10.  I showed her how to anchor these good feelings with an NLP technique so she can now access them, at any time, with a physical trigger - by simply placing her right hand over her left hand.  This feelgood trigger could increase with use.

10 minute Reiki at Lambeth Country Fair (Brixton Therapy Stand).  A man returned 4 hours later to say "It was better than Class A drugs" (he was on methodone).   Could this be my best Testimonial yet?!!
