Comments from some people I have worked with
Nicola, Financial Services, Energy Industry
I have been in a senior managerial role for many years but recently went through a period where the demands, pressure and stress went up hugely. It was having a big impact on my wellbeing; lack of sleep, palpitations, anxiety and crying in secret for no real reason.
I decided to have a mindfulness session with Gez in an attempt to bring balance back to my life. The first session was difficult. Switching off the racing thoughts is alien to me, I kept finding my mind darting off to the latest issue facing me in my normal world.
It took a couple of sessions to ‘train’ my brain to allow more peace and tranquillity into my life.
I suppose you can liken it to taking a mental breather.
My work life has settled down again now so I don’t have the sessions any more but do still use the techniques Gez showed me when things start to step up a bit.
I would recommend trying it to anyone, it could make life better in a small or big way and that’s definitely got to be worth a go.

I just wanted to give you some feedback as a result of our Mindfulness session, and my inability to drop off to sleep and stay asleep.
Why didn’t I do this months ago!
I've had the best night’s sleep ever!
After 5 nights: I am still going to sleep within 15 mins of lights out and waking up with the alarm in the morning, I haven’t felt like this in years.
Now after 3 weeks: This has continued, I don’t seem to be experiencing the difficulties in dropping off to sleep like I had been, and I am waking up the next morning feeling refreshed, having slept soundly. I have even started dreaming again.
I feel so much better, and thanks for the recording, I will certainly be playing that to top me up.
