I came to the trauma reduction therapy knowing a couple of people who had done something similar and with the strong recommendation of my therapist but otherwise not knowing what to expect.  I left having had one of the most powerful experiences of my life which I am still to fully digest but I know will change it significantly for the better.

Alistair and Shaun were able to guide me through processes of uncovering important aspects of my childhood and myself that until then I was unaware of.  They were able to help me use that information to understand why I have felt the way I have felt and to start to heal the wounds that I have carried until now that at times have been very destructive for myself and others.  It is difficult to put into words how profound an experience this was.

Both Alistair and Shaun possess an astounding level of humanity, empathy and emotional intuition and combined with their ability to work as a team seamlessly and professionally, left me speechless when I was asked what I thought at the end.  Their skill level in such a complex field to work in was beyond anything I could have expected.  They were able to step into my childhood with me, intervening at critical moments to guide the process to clarity and healing leaving me with tools I can use to truly change.  This is such important and valuable work and feel extremely fortunate to have worked with Alistair and Shaun.
I never knew what I was worth.

Dearest Alistair

Yes I have a little precious beautiful baby … my “broken battered body and mind was able to heal and co-create, nurture and take care of a baby! And 3 step children. Today I can love…. Alistair I love what you did for me… thank you for changing my life… for giving me one.

Anyone suffering from complex trauma; eating disorders; OCD; addiction; sexual, physical, mental and spiritual abuse and relationship issues…. there IS hope. I worked hard & tried many things … recovery was the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done. I was turned away and “written off” by many a therapist… Alistair heard me. Alistair held me and Alistair helped me. He was the missing piece of my recovery program puzzle. Thank you forever, amen
