“Absolutely excellent, comprehensive manual – great class and post-course resource. My new bible! Clare’s experience shone through… she has been kind, thoughtful, caring, inclusive and generous. I’ve learnt more about myself than I’d expected to – it’s been a fantastic learning & emotional journey.“
