Testimonials
"My coach Julie D listened carefully to everything I had to say. She came up with interesting ways of helping me to relax and to manage things that had become a problem for me. Helping me to accept that I could actually say no to people helped me to start to do things that I actually wanted to do rather than what other people wanted me to do. I only saw Julie twice but I think that I was encouraged to see her at just the right time and I am very grateful that the surgery has such a facility."
"Emotionally very low, despite knowing how to change things; ie mood and weight management I was feeling very negative and unable to see a pathway to begin a positive and motivated attitude. Talking through issues allowed me to seek realistic solutions. Thank you."
"Very informative and gave me some great ideas that I hadn't thought of."
"I had an appointment to see Julie, I had no idea what to expect or even what her role was. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt very comfortable talking to Julie. She was very understanding and extremely helpful."
"Enjoyed the session – not what I thought it would be – thought I was going to be told how to breathe and what I should be doing. It’s good to be able to offload and been really helpful in way forward to becoming healthier."
"These sessions have helped to spur me on. Thank you."
"I have a spring in my step – Finding the sessions useful to be able to talk."
"I couldn’t see my way forward to a healthier lifestyle and with your help I’ve been able to lose weight and feel good in myself."
