"Words always fail to describe what an impact your retreats have on me, I thoroughly enjoy them and get so much from them, not just at the time but for a long long time after its over"
"I think by doing these, I learn more about myself and how to 'feel' things on a much deeper level"
"The group immediately felt a safe space"
"I wanted to thank you for the weekend retreat. I found it to be so beneficial - it gave me so much more than I had wanted"
"Feedback on the activities of the weekend is very hard to give as I feel that your way of being was such an intrinsic part of how the weekend impacted on me. You are a beautiful being and just seeing you felt like such a lesson in congruence"
"You chose a beautiful, inviting location surrounded by nature and the splendid gardens. Both for activities indoors and outdoors"
"The food was delicious and prepared with love and attention for our special needs"
"I am impressed how you involve not only the group as a whole but also each one individually"
"I think the greatest things can only happen when the littlest things are looked after with such love and tenderness and respect. You cherish the littlest things from the moment you start planning them Paula. You plan and execute and review and improve them in the most professional, most tender, most loving way. Great things happen at your retreats and as a result of your retreats because you care enough to create a space where they can happen"
"I love the groundings. I find them more and more effective as time goes on"

"The connections that I have made with people because you brought us together is just magical"

"Thank you for knowing when to nudge me forward and when not to"
"You are absolutely brilliant at what you do!"

“It was both emotional and transformational”
“The setting was magic, perfect location, great atmosphere”
“I’ve never had an opportunity to tap into the creative side of me for this kind of work before and embracing what flowed out of me was unrecognisable”
