Client Testimonials
"MBSR™ with Annie has changed the obsessive cleaning habits I've been stuck with for 4 decades. I am finally able to enjoy and prioritise family life with my child."
After going through nearly four decades of life with an OCD approach to cleaning, I really felt the need to change my behaviours. Cleaning the house and doing laundry etc was always the priority and was really negatively impacting family life and limiting the time I spent on enjoyable activities.
​
I have tried various habit breaking practices over the years but nothing has worked. I knew this was unhealthy for me but I just couldn't shift out of it. Having spoken to Annie, I thought it would be worth giving MBSR™ a try.
​
After one (yes just ONE session!) my embedded lifelong behaviours have seemingly disappeared. I don't properly understand how Annie does the incredible work that she does but I went into my first session open minded and hopeful but fully expecting I might need a few sessions before experiencing any change. There has definitely been a huge shift in me and I would highly recommend if you're considering MBSR™, I would say absolutely give it a try; it might well change your life!

"Annie is such an amazing MBSR practitioner and I absolutely love working with her. She has a natural affinity towards this type of healing practice and is so skilled at what she does. I have been having flashbacks related to PTSD and after one session with Annie I felt a lot of relief from them and found they came less frequently. I cant wait to see what other transformations are ahead das I continue to work with MBSR through Annie. Thanks so much!"
“I’ve been through 4 rather huge, life changing & traumatic experieces over the last few years and have had 3 different types of therapy to support me.
MBSR™ with Annie is pure GOLD. I feel so much lighter.
I feel like me again, but better.”
Having had 3 different types of therapy/counselling before, I didn’t really know what to expect from MBSR™ but I was intrigued, especially after hearing I didn’t need to talk about past experiences, which I have found triggering with other routes I’d gone down. I am grateful for the other routes I explored as they helped me to get where I was but MBSR™ has been totally different.
​
The things that came up in my first session were key words that I’d been looking for to try and explain how I felt and were what I knew was keeping me stuck. I was taken aback at how accurate it was. I knew they were issues and some very old patterns holding me back but I couldn’t escape them. Having gone through 4 rather huge, life changing and traumatic experiences over the last few years, I had a lot of deep sorrow, was full of pessimism, had safety worries and fear.
After my first session with Annie, I noticed changes over the few days that followed without having to actually do anything. These old patterns were suddenly not prominent anymore, things were just gone - I can’t explain it. I not only noticed a huge difference in myself but also my children and husband. I know they felt my shift too. We all seem more in the moment, more relaxed and connected.
I feel so much lighter and this has been a huge blessing to me and my family.
My second session was a further big step and some more big things were cleared. As a result of the trauma I went through I was diagnosed with severe PTSD. I’m super proud of clearing things around this and have actually been able to come off of some medication that I’ve been on for years.
​
I can’t recommend MBSR™ & Annie enough. It’s pure gold and I don’t fully know how it works but it sure does. I feel safer, happier and free.
I feel like me again, but better.

“I was an angry ball of ANGER, and that has just vanished - gone.”
Annie has helped me quieten generations of anger, which get harder and harder to handle each year for me. The anger used to consume me, even in simple situations like the supermarket. Someone would move their trolley in my way and my brain would explode but my voice always polite - it wasn't their fault that I was having such a disproportionate reaction.
My MBSR™ sessions with her have helped me break the cycle and shown me a clearer, freer calmer way to live my life. I am so grateful to you Annie.

"Having been quietly consumed by these very uncomfortable feelings for so long, it was such a relief to have been able to let them go! And without having to really 'do' anything at all!"
"My adult relationship with my narcissitic mother has always been complex - I realised as a young adult that I had been a 'parentified' daughter and it wasn't until I had done many, many years of inner work that I was able to put in boundaries that felt protective of my energy.
When my mother died last year, and I found out that she and my brother had collaborated behind my back in order to remove me from her will a year prior to this (without changing her outwardly toxic dependency on me and my children in any way), the old wounds of rejection and betrayal were given a good stirring.
I was able to work through many of these but I found that a lot of my energy was still being consumed by hurt and resentment towards my mother as well as a deep rage towards my brother. It was affecting my life in a negative way and I didn't know how to shift things.
When Annie approached me with her new healing modality, I was curious to see what would happen as a result but had no real expectations. So I was amazed to find, a month or so after our two sessions, that the incredibly visceral, body-held emotions that I had been experiencing on a regular basis before our sessions, had completely gone!
Now, if I concentrate hard on what has happened and on those concerned, I can dredge up some of the old feelings of betrayal and hurt, but these are a mere shadow of what they were, and in normal daily life, they don't even feature in my thoughts.
Having been quietly consumed by these very uncomfortable feelings for so long, it was such a relief to have been able to let them go! And without having to really 'do' anything at all!
Indeed, the sessions were very relaxing and Annie's quietly efficient but very loving and compassionate manner made the whole process enjoyable and also interesting - a couple of health issues even surfaced that I had not mentioned.
Annie held space for me beautifully - as the strong, confident professional that she is - whilst her collaborative approach ensured that I felt respected and involved at every step of the way.
I will not hesitate to do more sessions on other issues should I need to. I am very grateful she brought her gift to my attention!"
