"The pace and content were perfect for me. Lots to consider, and to put into practice. Nice to have just two of us in the session! In particular a work issue was talked through, which not only re-focused my priorities, but enabled me to decide how to deal with it. Overall a great session that I would strongly recommend."



"The trainer gave some good examples of her own personal experiences to illustrate the course content which was useful in helping to understand the exercises"



"Welcoming and making us feel comfortable"
