Event Testimonials
Great course. The location is lovely, giving a mixture of sea, sun and good places to go without being too touristy. I enjoyed sharing the meals together. I enjoyed the group sessions which gave me the opportunity to get to know the other members of the group.
I found the combination of the therapeutic alongside the practical information about career options and personality types particularly helpful
I usually like a traditional time table but I was surprised how the split hours helped me have enough space to think things through quite efficiently. It felt really creative use of time and energy. I was not as exhausted as I have been on wholly group courses. The individual time and the rest/homework time let me recharge and have lots of positive energy to engage with everyone, and yet feel that I was getting value for money.
Good idea having the two consultants looking at personal developments and career developments at the same time to consider what issues in one affects the other
It was helpful (refreshing / pleasant) to sit in the sun / shade on a quiet beach under a palm tree, focussing on all the different work options without the “distracts and clutter of issues being in own routine and in own environment.
The week after I returned to work I was asked to write a resume about myself to be used to introduce me as a speaker at a dentist conference. Having started this I did find it easier to write, and used more positive phases than what I might have done prior to this course.
The group was very powerful, really got me out of my comfort zone.
It was all just so enjoyable. Rota is perfect. Enough to do but very peaceful.
Got quite nervous for the group stuff but that was good for me. There was no pressure though. The group sessions were facilitated perfectly. A sense of humour evident throughout and I also appreciated the directness. You felt you were learning as well as having a holiday. Was not ‘fluffy’ or cosmic or too heavy. It was very practical as well as emotionally moving.
Living out in a small hotel brought a sense of being part of the Spanish lifestyle and belonging,
It was good having practical things that you could take away and think about. For me, the Emotional Healing framework was really helpful
I felt the combination of group and individual sessions worked really well. I found the group sessions more difficult but that’s just me and was able to engage in them absolutely fine
I liked the directness and obvious in depth knowledge and experience both personal and professional, which I felt was able to understand my needs in the short time available.
Good to work with someone who had actually “done it”
I think the blocks of reasonable “free” time, were important to me, to balance the other bits
This break was the best present that I could have given myself. 0n arrival I was warmly greeted by Gael with a glass of Rijoa (the region’s local wine) and introduced to the other guests whom quickly became friends and still are.
My sessions with Gael were amazing …in the sense that Gael did not listen to my litany of cop-outs and excuses, instead she gently encouraged me to go the extra mile and challenge myself! From our work together during these sessions I have a clearer vision of who I am and where I am going in my life.
In between sessions, we talked, laughed ate and drank a lot along with some necessary sunbathing ! By night we walked into the town and sampled the local tapas which were sublime!
It was good to have the opportunity to truly escape the pressures and routine of everyday life and be able to think.
I had been struggling to make some major decisions and was finding it difficult to think clearly whilst coping with the demands of normal life at a very stressful time. This was the perfect setting in which to relax and take time to peacefully consider the changes I wanted to make.
Thank you for the opportunity to benefit from your skills in this inspiring environment. You provided a wonderful retreat, a place to reflect and recharge before striking out in a positive direction. To share this experience with three special people who are now good friends was an added bonus!
A belated thank you, yet again, for an absolutely wonderful way to recharge and energise myself. It’s been amazing to see the rapid progress I’ve made over the years in my personal (& business) growth and development, as a result of the work we’ve done together!
Do you realise I’ve been coming back time after time. I feel I bring a piece of Spain back with me to London each time I come.
I hold very fond memories of a wonderful visit, especially the free and easy style of the course. It enabled me to calm my mind, encouraged me to rest and relax my body, and to share with others, fun and laughter that lifted my spirits. This whole environment, combined with personal counselling sessions, gave me valuable time and space for contemplation and reflection. I returned home energised, more importantly – I found clarity and direction in my life.”

My daily sessions with Gael (5 in total) were amazing …in the sense that Gael did not listen to my litany of cop-outs and excuses instead gently encouraged me to go the extra mile and challenge myself!

Do you realise I’ve been coming back time after time – 8 in total – since 1992? I feel I bring a piece of Spain back with me to London each time I come.
