Testimonials

The transformation made possible through somatic practice can feel abstract, simple, non-linear & cosmic. I'm really grateful when people find the words to share their experiences...

 

 

Here's what people have said about one-to-one coaching

"dia's approach is person centred, direct, practical and full of care. They allow you to show up as who you are in the moment with not only zero judgement, but with deep acceptance of who you are and what you are bringing. I am letting myself fall back into life more, softening into the challenges and feeling out that which I have avoided before. With dia you will find yourself cared for and celebrated and that will change the game in ways you didn't know were available to you. You will be so happy you met them."

 

"I knew no matter what unfolded in the conversations, I had your love and compassion there just holding that space for me."

 

"I now have tools to break away from difficult cyclical behaviour... I can pause, stand my ground and not be as affected."

 

"Coaching has sat beautifully next to my personal therapy of many years. The different parts of my life are not separate; they weave together, so what has helped in my work life has flowed into my non work life. Because I've been invited to bring my authentic self to coaching, there have been sessions that focused more on the personal and that has been very beneficial in me understanding myself more. I take my place in the world more. I have stronger boundaries and a louder, clearer voice. I advocate for myself more and I know that that comes from a stronger and more rooted sense of self."

 

“Energetically, even though it was over the screen, what you put out there and how that relaxed my central nervous system so that I could go to some of those places that feel really uncomfortable to go to... that's such a gift."

 

"My life has totally transformed in the last 8 months. dia creates a space of pure possibility. In a society that tells you what to want and what to value, dia’s openness and honouring of uniqueness, difference and personal truth is a much needed light."

 

"What you offer feels like the most value of anything I’ve ever signed up for in my whole life.”

 

"I think dia is an utter dream of a coach, the person I want in my corner... fair, brave, enthusiastic, loving, committed, caring and dedicated."

 

 

Here's what people have said about workshops

“This is a beautiful, affirming way to experience politicised somatic practice that feels nurturing and expansive. dia honours consent and holds space for intersecting identities safely and joyfully. Feeling seen and understood from the beginning made it easier to jump into practice together.”

 

“dia's walk thru and explanation of the various aspects of the practice make it easy to understand and feel like I could settle in quite quickly. Being mixed race Latino and white presenting, I felt a sense of calm being included in the space. Dia creates a very calm and inviting space for folks.”

 

“I think what I found most helpful was how each practice felt queer and expansive, and had me thinking about connecting to/inviting in all sorts of creativity, nature, ancestors, etc.”

 

"I was surprised at how comfortable I felt sharing some deeply held & vulnerable things. I really like the 'build your own personal practice' ethos of this course. The recording was really useful for this, something to return to as a supportive resource."
