These three months with your Accountability Group were simply magical. Your warmth, unconditional understanding, your ability to really hold space for us made it possible to trust you. I have felt as if you are taking me by hand and guiding me through rough patches, safe in the knowledge that I am not alone on the road.

This, for me, being used to doing it all on my own, not daring to show my biggest weaknesses to other people, hiding them in fear of being abbandoned, was just transformative. I have actually for the first time in my life felt completely safe and accepted for who I am, mistakes and all, and being able to share my weakest moments as a person and not feeling judged, but understood and held in compassion, released something in my body and with tears came relief and self-acceptance.

You have navigated us beautifully through the content of the course and through the ups and downs of everyday life, and those prompts, our “homework to be done by next session” all offered resolutions to problems I’ve had for years and could not break through them — by the end of our time not only did I not yell at my kids in forever, I was also for the first time in my life able to extend the compassion and validation to my husband when he was having a rough time interacting with our kids.

Do you know that because of that session we had on mastery and my realization that I am prone to seeing the problem, seeing the solution and implementing the solution, without giving my kids any say in the process, and than changing that to include them, my daughter and my son are now negotiating for win-win solutions _. even without my presence?

(...) the most valuable aspect of the parenting circle were the initial grounding in presence exercises that really set the mood for the whole session and your simply incredible warm heart and accepting presence that has melted what feel like the last barriers to me. This was my “putting it all together” week, stretched through three months. :)

​

The group’s positive impact was in the fact it made me reflect on what I was doing, what was working and what wasn’t, and from this safe distance, surrounded by witnesses in a non-judgemental place, I could share my fails, shed light on them and watch them as they melted away. I have had so many breaktroughs during our time together, it is incredible. 

I have already recommended your group and would reccomend it with my whole heart to anybody who wants to reflect and grow in a warm presence of love and understanding.
