“It goes beyond surface self-care, it makes a real and deep difference and it is what our bodies, hearts and communities are crying out for”
What People Are Saying
“I guarantee Kirste walks her talk, which is why I refer clients to her. Her work is valuable, necessary and should be available in every workplace, especially where supervision is lacking. It goes beyond surface self-care, it makes a real and deep difference and it is what our bodies, hearts and communities are crying out for”
— Michelle Butler, trauma therapist, Mum
“The workshop was challenging but invaluable. I finally feel like I know how to make a REAL difference to my family. I’ve already had many opportunities to use the techniques we practiced; I definitely feel more empowered, and they always help. I now see my role in escalating conflict with my kids, and I have tools to change it”
— Fiona Walsh, adoptive mum of 2
“I had the privilege of working with Kirstie several times and I am blown away by her work. Not only is it proving helpful in every day matters, but I can honestly say it is life changing. I can really see my relationship with others changing and my own relationship to conflict changing too “
— Katherine Kendall, Actor, Los Angeles
““Kirstie has been my beacon of light. I was feeling hopeless, helpless and worthless and knew I had to call her for support to help me change my opinion of myself. She uses a direct approach, humour and a clear vision of what you can acheive and it’s all within your grasp. You can use her techniques immediately, they are easy to put into practice. They have given me so much strength and reassurance, its’ early days, but it’s now becoming second nature”
— Debbie Spellman, Teacher, Mum of 2
“From one pre-workshop conversation Kirstie instantly got what we were about. We trusted her to train the entire staff together in one room on one day, bringing discordant and mistrusting groups towards a collective vision grounded in shared ethics. We achieved so much more than we thought possible and we had a great time!”
- Banjo Aromolaran and Ursula Grant, Directors Right Choice Special School
“Working with Kirstie has really helped me to understand more about why my son might behave in the way he does. As a result of a few Skype calls, I now feel much calmer with him and have developed a number of coping strategies that have significantly improved our relationships and family life as a whole. The sessions have also made a huge different to how I feel about myself as a parent”
— Richard Wade, Dad of 4
“My daughter’s violent panic attacks have reduced from 30 minutes to 30 seconds, in a few weeks. Thank you Kirstie, this is beautiful work.”
— School Psychologist, New York
"“I’d become an angry Dad, something I thought I’d never be, I was feeling ashamed and disconnected from my children. I am now on my way to being a stronger, more protective and calmer parent, thanks to Kirstie’s help”
— Adoptive Dad of 2
“Thanks so much for the the training it was BRILLIANT and I’ve already had a lot of informal feedback from participants to say how much they enjoyed it. The risk of retraumatisation in this project was high but we now have the knowledge and tools to go ahead safely and confidently”
— Carer’s Trust regional organiser
“I’m a senior embodiment teacher and parent coach myself, but in the tough moments when I struggle with my daughter’s worst behaviours, it’s Kirstie I turn to and rely on for mentorship and wisdom I can trust
— Jane Dancey, Mum
“After years of burnt out parenting the benefits were nothing less than profound. Thank goodness”
MK. Training participant, Los Angeles
"I came via recommendation as I was struggling with parenting challenges. Second child, moving house, overworked, lack of support. Talking with Kirstie helped with a couple of things, firstly, her non judgmental manner which made me relax, despite the shame I was feeling about some of my behavior. She listened and empathised… recognizing the overwhelm, which was pretty important in itself. We also discussed strategies that I could use in the moment to stay grounded. But I think what I'm most grateful for, is simply Kirstie's way of being. At some point while we were talking I felt a weight lift off me, my vision clear, and I became somewhat more myself - such a relief! Thank you again, Kirstie.
— Daniel Kendall, full time carer
“I now feel centred, open, present and able to move into action with authenticity, clarity and pleasure...a set of very valuable life skills I wouldn't want to be without, and absolutely essential in my work…who’d have thought that your Leadership is having an effect on women in the middle of Germany while they are giving birth? I count myself very lucky to have been taught by you, Kirstie.
— Anima Schmidt-Salue, midwife, Germany
“I recently had the pleasure of receiving coaching from Kirstie, to help me through a very difficult and stressful time. The benefits and learnings have been, and continue to be, immense. Kirstie provides a safe and positive environment, where she carefully guides me through embodiment and increased self-awareness techniques, encouraging me to challenge some of my deep-rooted behaviours. She empowers me, by providing creative resources, tools and insights that enable me to open up and trust fully my own instincts. I continue to enjoy working with Kirstie on my journey towards achieving the life and happiness I deserve."
— Ann O’Shaughnessy, Mum
Absolutely invaluable!
The course did what it said it would, which was unexpected because it promised a lot
— course participant, Brighton
“Without doubt it has been the most priceless support I could ever have asked for…it is so valuable for me, especially working with someone I don't have to fear being judged by”.
— Loriana Viggiano, Student Mentee
“The method helped me hold ground and maintain presence, which down regulated my son’s fear of abandonment, ramping anxiety and control seeking behaviours…I felt I had tools and greater resources with my son and significant others”
— Training participant, Los Angeles
“Whenever I go on a new 'groundbreaking' course now, I think, ‘I already learned that with Kirstie’. At the time, I never knew the wealth that you gave me, but I now realise they are such fundamental concepts they apply to absolutely everything in my life”
— Vocational Student, Brighton
“I really appreciated the calm and hugely accepting atmosphere around the workshop”
“Kirstie is dynamic, positive, whole hearted and real. She provided me with the tools, insight and encouragement to clear the way, and refine and deliver my message with purpose, She always offers the space and presence needed for my authentic self to emerge; gives me the resources, enthusiasm and confidence I need to follow my own instincts and move forward; and has revealed what I need to do, so I can take the action I need in work and life and get the results I deserve”.
-Sally Goodwin
“There are a few people who become key influences on one's life path...Kirstie is one of those rare persons for me. With sensitivity, ability, and using her immense experience, she nurtures people to realise and fulfill their potential”
- Adrian Shepard, Dad, Performer, Berlin
“This stuff is gold dust. It’s the what, the why, but most importantly the how. A triple whammy of in-the-trenches parenting strategies, with body-based learning to put it into practice, and someone who really gets it, because they’ve been there. It’s what I’ve been looking for all along.
Jane T, Teens Counsellor, Step Mum
