Testimonials

"I have been a cyclist representing New Zealand for the last eight years, but have felt the effects of fatigue since I got glandular fever four years ago. After learning about good food and rest, and a different lifestyle, I still found I had some fatigue issues. My emotional and coping ability was not the same and health issues kept arising. I began to wonder if it was emotional stress from the past which was holding me back and exhausting me and I decided to do something about it. There had been some distressing events in my life that I needed to work through. I tried a psychotherapist and psychologist to help me, but neither worked for me. When I was told about holistic health coaching (The Journey) I liked the idea straight away.

I have only had 2 sessions of health coaching with Helen Donnison but already I am seeing changes in my behaviour and life patterns. Day to day life does not feel so exhausting and I feel more relaxed in the things I do. The sessions were very simple, easy to attend and relaxing. I continue to improve in health and wellbeing everyday, in so many ways.”

“Helen has helped me undertake an amazing journey of self discovery. During this journey I have learnt more and more about myself as Helen has helped me peel away the layers to allow me to really see myself clearly for the first time. Helen has patiently but firmly guided me through this process of self discovery and by not allowing me to dodge the hard questions has made me at last be honest with myself. All throughout this very personal journey Helen has been with me every step of the way, not only given me the courage to undertake this journey, but quietly encouraging and supporting me and giving me incredibly insightful feedback to really help me understand myself and others. Perhaps Helen's most enduring gift to me during our journey together has been the personal tool kit she has empowered me with which I believe will allow me to deal with what ever life has to throw at me in the future.

I feel very fortunate to have had Helen on my side during this very personal journey and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone who also needs to undertake their own journey of personal self discovery.”

"Helen, your kindness and directness keeping the focus on the issues was comforting, not scary. I know my journey is just starting. I was surprised how fast things can change and love being able to kiss again without feeling suffocated. I am now looking forward to life's gifts, which you are one of."

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2009. I, immediately sought advice from a range of medical practitioners, of how I could contribute towards my recovery from this frightening disease. My surgeon, my oncologist, my breast nurse, my lymphatic specialist and Helen Donnison, my medical herbalist and holistic health coach, helped me to overcome this disease. Helen had been recommended to me by a friend who had overcome the same disease. I have seen Helen on a number of occasions. She is very knowledgeable in journey work, guiding the client through a process, which helps to remove the bad influence of unresolved issues. Helen is also very knowledgeable in herbal supplements and dietary advice, which help your body to return to good health. She listens very carefully, to all you tell her and tailors her advice to your special requirements. Helen, herself exudes health and well being; she practises, what she ‘preaches’. I recommend her to anyone, who wants to actively overcome illness or just maintain health and well being.”

"The programme I have been doing with Helen has been life changing for me. My whole life I had been struggling with my weight and energy levels. After starting the programme I have a lot more energy to get things done during the day and have started a healthy relationship with my body, something I have never had before. The programme is about living a certain lifestyle not just dieting. I feel great and that’s what really matters the most. Thanks Helen."

"Thanks for the advice that has given me some meaningful steps that aren't too difficult to do. This has been an ongoing issue for me I have talked with my doctor and others on numerous occasions and they mostly brush me off. You're the first person who has given me something I can work with, so your advice is very much appreciated. I can do this!
