Testimonials For Giselle: I had done a lot to make my life better but I was unable to pull everything together to make my life more satisfying and complete. Then I experienced the magic of LIFE COACHING. I feel that the process actually began before my first formal meeting with Giselle. I had reached a point of being ready to take on the task of making my life a much more positive experience. Giselle was very supportive and encouraged me in a gentle way to get to this point. Before our meeting, Giselle gave me a questionnaire to complete which got me to look at my own strengths and weaknesses, how my weakness could be turned into strengths to help me realise my hopes, dreams and wishes for my present and future life. When we met we identified the key areas in my life that were a priority, for example, the building up of my Psychotherapy practice would enhance my financial state thus enabling me to move to my own place in the new year. Together with Giselle, I have set out goals and deadlines for myself. I am at the initial stages of setting up my practice with 3 clients on board. I have set a target date for moving, which I now feel positive about and realise that it is necessary for my well being. Each session was conducted in a very professional manner where I felt comfortable and secure. The encouragement and support I have received from Giselle has been excellent. The various tools and skills that she uses have been very useful in helping me to move forward. I feel reassured that everything is kept in confidence – it is a relief to know that I have someone to bounce thoughts and ideas off, knowing that I will get the best possible advice. There were times when I felt deflated and tired going to one of my Life Coaching sessions but came away feeling energised and positively hopeful. There is a certainty in my life now that had eluded me before I started coaching with Giselle." "Giselle as my Life Coach is one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. Her expertise in guiding me actually enabled me to appreciate myself as I had never done before, exploring all the positive attributes and examining honestly the “gremlins” and exploring ways to love them into transformation. For example, in the case of a bad habit, like constant snacking, drinking a glass of water instead; and to replace coffee with herbal tea. She also “made” me, with no visible sense of manipulation, or harassment, review my wish list of dreams and possibilities; and how they may become realities. Of course, we will be continuing with this pursuit and I just love it. It fills me with motivation and enthusiasm. This year is proving to be one of the times of greatest change in my life. When I started with Giselle, I felt overwhelmed. With her I drew up a helicopter view of everything and with her help established what was controllable and what was beyond my control. She helped me get a perspective on everything. Through this everything began to fall into place. The panic was quickly diminishing. Her regular check-ins on my goals keeps me on track. The helicopter overview facilitates an easy review of everything and gives me the bird’s eye perspective necessary without getting embroiled in superfluous and unproductive detail. To summarise on this, through Giselle I have further honed my ability to delegate. Working with her empowers and inspires me. I know I can even handle the weight issue and this time for good. Sure I have participated in countless self-development courses and seminars; read innumerable books but always failed to carry through after the initial spurt. However with Giselle, this is not the case. Whilst she uses certain techniques and templates like the “clock” template or encourages and facilitates mini plans/action lists for task completion and moving forward, she follows through on these through the dynamic and proactive coaching sessions. My coaching sessions are special and sacred times. Giselle’s constant support and genuine interest in and commitment to my success, happiness and well-being have an elixir like impact. She fully appreciates the importance of Body, Mind and Spirit integration and balance. This makes it a pleasure, privilege and challenge to work with her. In my books, she is the perfect Coach to keep me on track!" BD "At the time I visited Giselle, my life had become quite stagnant. I realized through my work with her, that I had neglected very important areas in my life and that these needed immediate attention. I realized that painting was my passion and I realized that I had not used the gift I had been given for a very long time. Creative writing was also an area to be worked on as I have always loved writing and people have remarked on my ‘lovely letters’. S McC "One year ago, I had reached what I felt was a crossroads in my life. After the birth of my second child, my father died suddenly and it had a profound effect on me but made me realize that I never knew my dad as he was always busy with work. I decided to take a career break and sold my businesses to work privately from home twice a week. After a short period of time that I realized that I needed another stimulus and returned to night college to further my studies. I also got involved in lots of voluntary work in my community and still managed to be at home with my children. 5years ago my world was blasted when my husband was diagnosed with cancer and had major surgery and treatment .So I became a fulltime carer which had to be the most challenging task in my life. Thank God my husband recovered but I knew at this stage I needed to return to work but decided to take the easy option continue with voluntary work. Then last year I was referred to Giselle by one of her clients. I was a bit reluctant at first as I was not in the mood for a ‘motivator who gets results’. I was told to keep an open mind and try her. After the trial consultation. which took place one week later; I became interested in her diverse background of Science, Hypnotherapy, Personal Development, Stress management and Sales &Marketing. My first impression of her was very good, she was kind, very gentle, non invasive, and I knew working with her would move me in the right direction Her approach was very natural and at no stage did I feel I was been told what to do. Her skill to tap into talents and strengths that I had buried for years was for me a journey of self discovery. She taught me how to turn my skills and strengths into money and get the ‘buzz’ back into my life. She helped me to pull the various strands together and turn it into my new life plan. Now I am on the way to a very bright future for my husband and two sons. She has taught me that impossible means im –passible. If I know where my destination is, then I need to build a road to get there in other words, you have to have a clear picture of what you want in life, and it is never too late to start. These coaching sessions changed my method of thinking and they have improved my relationship with my teenage sons and my husband. He has also benefited from her sessions and she has turned his life around. He is more together now, completing a course that he would never have dreamt of doing and now we are building our new life plan together. Our teenage son is eighteen and after his leaving cert exams will commence coaching also; you are never too young to start.. I have become much healthier and more energetic. Giselle has a lot to offer women in and out of the workforce and serious business men could really benefit from her corporate background and her sharp but gentle approach on advice and direction. So if you are in a fog or at the crossroads, remember you are not lost, you are just having a temporary setback just phone Giselle and your life could take on a new meaning, ours did!"

the wellness dimension of the illness-wellness continuum. Its selfassessment tool offers new insights into what makes life worth living, and loving, and breathing. Medical care will never bring you too the brink of joyfulness, zest for life, and treating the environment responsibly. This Programme puts the health back into health care." It is a refreshing approach after years of "strictly by the numbers" Health Risk Appraisals that tell you how old you ought to be or why you are not already dead. "Without a doubt, this work manual is the most valuable and useful resource on wellness ever written. It has often been said that there is, unfortunately, no manual for living--but this well-loved book comes pretty close." I belief that there is no better person to spread the word for this manual, then Gráinne-Freya Hammond with all her personal and professional experiences. Dr.Matthias J. Swenson MD,
Gráinne-Freya Hammond was a feat. So many books warn us about the care of illnesses and with what can go wrong. The Health Creation Programme with the sense of possibility—of what can go right is bewildering refreshing and so the presentation. Orlagh Mc M., journalist
