TESTIMONIES

“Irene’s Mindfulness for FND has been a game changer for me. It has made me feel much less isolated and more positive about the future. Irene has provided me with strategies for coping with the symptoms of FND and I have found these to be very effective. I wasn’t sure about how the course would work over Zoom but it has been amazing. Irene has such a kind, understanding approach and she has that rare quality of allowing people space to think and reflect; she is an excellent listener and she has a very calm manner. It has also been great in terms of meeting other people with FND for the first time and to share experiences; the atmosphere has been incredibly supportive.” (28.11.23 – course participant)

“I have been really struggling with the changes in my life due to FND, and Irene’s Mindfulness course has allowed me to take back some control over how I am feeling. It is great to feel that I can take action, using strategies and techniques learnt in the course, that will result in a positive spiral. I feel more able to make choices that take into consideration my physical and mental wellbeing, now I have a better understanding of my thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Thank you Irene.” (A. K. – course participant)
