Over the years my clients have spontaneously expressed how they feel about the classes. I am not always in a position to capture those moments, and so here is a fraction of the gratitude that has been expressed to me. A huge thank you to all of my clients and students, past, present and future.

• This testimonial is from a parent enjoying the child friendly RELAX session. "While meditating with Dawn I was in my garden relaxed. Listening to the story of the purple fluffy rabbit. As I relaxed I felt a little tickle on my skin. I listened to fear and I looked. It was a tiny greenfly. I closed my eyes and later felt the tickle which was now somewhere else. Again I listened to fear... saw the same tiny greenfly. While listening to the meditation and sitting with William the fluffy purple rabbit I felt that tickle on my skin, this time not fear, I opened my eyes and looked at this tiny greenfly and it's delicate wings and I had a movement of emotion. My eyes and nose felt tense and a couple of tears came from my eyes. I felt love and appreciation for this tiny example of life who was content to sit on me and share my energy with comfort. I was safe with William the purple fluffy rabbit and the greenfly was safe with me. I found it interesting that at first fear and checking entered my mind twice, third time love, appreciation and freedom. "

• This testimonial is from a client who joined my on-line lessons. Her feedback was via email. "I have been attending Dawns zoom relaxation sessions on a Monday night for 3 weeks - the difference it has brought me is tangibly noticeable in my day to day living.  I feel a deep sense of stillness and calmness. 
  I am less anxious.  I worry less. Things that would have before triggered feelings of being overwhelmed, I now take in my stride. It is really quite amazing. Finally, I feel like I am actually enjoying what life's experience brings me. Thank you Dawn for all your wisdom and knowledge."

Feedback from Classes and Groups (in person)

• "Today was so enjoyable Dawn, thank you so much for all the love and care you put into making our session so special. We’re a very small group but I know we all appreciate how much thought and attention you take to make each session special. Thank you."  ​T Essex

• "​I, too, enjoyed the company and the food, I will have to start looking at some different recipes. You certainly set the bar high and I think that further mini retreats are an excellent idea."  ​J Essex

​

• "Thank you too for the wonderful mini retreat yesterday, the food was outstanding, delicious and filling. I did enjoy the relax session too, my husband said I had a lovely glow when he walked through the door! I have mentioned it to a friend and asked if she fancies coming along next week.    I have bought Allens book on Line as a kindle, touch wood no C word involved but prevention is better than cure, and bodies need all the help they can get these days!"   ​P Essex

• ​"I have been to several meditation sessions with Dawn.   I went to try it out not really knowing what to expect; Though the fact I went one would assume I had a subconscious need for some sort of "healing".   After each session I tended to feel more confident in myself, walked taller and was a lot less "strained".  The overall effect though subtle was a feeling of rejuvenation. "   ​JD Colchester​

• "After months of wondering whether I should give the local V-CHI relaxation group a try, I attended my first session last week.  I was hoping to find a way to develop a more positive attitude to life instead of worrying about things that may not happen.     The hour went very quickly and I certainly felt refreshed and calm.  Later that day I realised that the lower back pain I had been experiencing for the last 18 months had eased considerably.   I am no longer feeling pain on waking each morning or after sitting for more than 10 minutes.    I'm pleased that I finally decided to check this out and will definitely go back for further sessions."    ​J Colchester

Hand Written Feedback (testimonials held on file).

• “I really enjoy the hour out of my week to relax and focus on me. It’s the only time I feel I can switch off everything and not feel guilty in doing something just for me."

• “After the first session I found myself to be very relaxed and the next day I found myself to be very calm and able to cope well in my job, which can be very frustrating and strenuous. I was calm when dealing with stressful situations and unusually didn’t get angry. Looking forward to more.”

• “I enjoy the feeling of relaxing and emptying my mind of all the stresses of daily life.  A thoroughly enjoyable hour.”

• "Had the second session of V-Chi today and found it easier to get into total relaxation, a feeling of floating. After my first session I felt clearer in my thoughts and was far less forgetful. I'm really pleased I have given V-Chi a try, and look forward to next weeks session."

​         Your Name? -  Siobhan
         What prompted you to join a V-Chi More Than Meditation (VMTM) session? -  My life had suddenly             taken a turn that I wasn't expecting. I was in a really low place, emotionally overwhelmed, and I was                 diagnosed severely depressed. I am not a spiritual person but I did not want to take medication and I               needed to try something to help myself to cope. I was having extremely bad panic attacks daily and                 since starting V-Chi I now have very little. If I do start to have a panic attack I now know how to                           breathe through it and not let it overwhelm me. Since starting V-Chi sessions with Dawn, I physically             and emotionally feel lighter, I feel safer and more positive.
         How many times have yo participated in a VMTM session? -  I've had 5 or 6 private sessions with                     Dawn and I will be starting classes next week.
         What do you enjoy most about the meditation sessions? -  I often find the sessions very emotional. I             can feel all negative feelings coming out and it's such a release for me. I come away smiling and feeling           calm and happy. (Which I've struggled to feel for over a year now.)

         People say they don't have time to meditate. I don't have time not to!
