Many of us can feel unsettled, uncomfortable and even anxious when sudden changes occur, or there are disruptions to our usual routines. In light of our decision last week to cancel all in-person activities, and with the government’s latest updates to stay at home due to Covid-19, we know that many within our quiet community…
TUESDAY 17TH MARCH 2020 Based on the advice from the government this week regarding limiting unnecessary travel and social contact, we have now made the decision to cancel all Quiet Get-Togethers until further notice.

What you need to know Lots of people are understandably worried about coronavirus including many of you who are working with us at the moment. We have also had a number of enquiries about whether or not get-togethers and coaching will continue at this time. We’re taking this seriously and we want to reassure you…

At 7 years old, I felt so terrified when doing a ‘weather forecast’ at school, I nervously farted in front of my class. At 26, I froze during a 3-minute presentation whilst on a ‘Projecting Professional Confidence’ workshop; feeling unable to finish I ran back to my seat and held back tears as my body…
What if you knew that the way you see the world isn’t the same as reality? Training as an NLP Practitioner, one of the very first things I learned is that our thoughts aren’t reality. It turns out that we respond to our own internal representation of the world -a model we’ve created in our minds-…
Setting New Year intentions Do you have New Year’s resolutions? Have you set yourself some goals for 2020 yet? We all want the year ahead to be a great one for us and it’s easy to get caught up in ideas about what we want to achieve; often coming to the end of the year…
Feeling frazzled is common at this busy time of year as we attempt to meet perceived expectations and create the perfect Christmas -from the gifts we give, to the meals we cook, the conversation we make and generally doing our best to please all of the people who matter to us on the very same…
How can Mindfulness help? Mindfulness has become a buzzword of late – known for being a vital component in a self-care tool kit, along with exercise, eating healthily, and all those other things that you know are good for you but you don’t actually do… (Or is that just me?)
