I keep remembering an incident with a family member that caused me intense rage. I couldn’t sleep, I felt sick in my stomach and I did not want to be around that person, so any family event over the next year was very difficult for me. I did the only thing I knew how to do. I bit my tongue, suppressed my feelings and “got over it”. If only I had the tools that I now have, I could have safely dealt with my emotions (away from the person)within the week, found out why the incident had triggered me so powerfully and been free to enjoy being around family. I look back now and I see wasted energy and time. And I was the one who suffered because I was the one suppressing the emotion. So what have I gained from the course?
Freedom, clarity and self confidence! Yes it takes courage to look within but the rewards are worth it.

Words cannot express what this course has meant to me. I came here expecting to be a good counsellor but I have gained so much, much, more….I would highly recommend this course to any one anticipating a career as a Holistic Living Counsellor. Thankyou Alannah for providing me with a place that I could open my heart….

I completed the Diploma in HLC a few years ago and the experience was life changing to say the least. I started to release some hurt and pain and replace it with powerful positive loving energy. The whole process is deeply empowering and transforming and of course is ever evolving. It doesnt just end with that course, its a life style, a way of being which radiates through your whole life, from work, to friends and family and your life purpose.” Alicia Morton

Doing this course is not just a change of career or an extension of what I already do and love it is a very personal journey for me SamHallpike compwhich I have totally embraced. I relish every moment of my time spent both in class and at home working through each session. I don’t see it as homework at all, it is ME work. I cannot fully express how this form of holistic counselling (Holistic LIVING Counselling) and now doing the course itself has helped me to transform my life, and it is probably the single most important thing I have ever done for myself. I feel this is my calling and my purpose and this course is giving me the opportunity to explore all that I can be.-Samantha Hallpike

 
 
“This course provides every opportunity to grow personally and professionally and it covers aspects of mind, body, heart and spirit. Its main focus is looking into and addressing our emotional selves. For me this course has enabled me to establish a private practice doing what I love, as well as being involved in community based work which is extremely rewarding. I have found there are limitless holistic LIVING counseling applications as there are so many areas of our society that could benefit.”
- Sharon Fletcher, Holistic Living Counselor

Since beginning this course the changes in my life have been incredible. At first i found that i was thinking to myself, how am i going to remember all this stuff to put into my life but it just happened, honestly as time has gone on everything i am learning is just taking its place so gently in my life. Everyday i can feel the real me growing and appreciating who i am. for so long all i have dealt myself was criticism, anger and shame but since being on this journey this has begun to transform into self love, self acceptance and self validation. As i go through this course with complete honesty and willingness to open up my life is becoming exciting and i am feeling so much pride in what i am doing. I am truly shedding layers of self doubt and self disregard and replenishing myself with love, honour, peacefullness and joy.-Melissa Lovisatti

By doing the course I learned about the power within me to change my own life. I was able to “feel the fear but do it anyway”. I moved out of a co-dependent relationship and lost 20kilograms in weight. I am now in control of my business and my life. I am working in a profession where I can make a positive difference to people’s lives without being the ‘rescuer’. I love my job and have more money than I have ever had to date. I have bought my own house. In fact I am now the happiest I have ever been in my whole ‘adult’ life. I owe this all to ‘me’ BUT I would not be able to acknowledge that nor take the positive steps to change my life without the tools that the ‘Holistic Living Counselling’ course gave me – that is, recognizing my own abilities and worth and stop being the rescuer.

The Live Well course (Step 1) has enhanced my life holistically; emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally. However, the course has especially helped me to deal with my emotions and the ability to work with my inner self. As a result it has been very rewarding, as I have been given wonderful methods to work through feelings and emotions that have surfaced. It has been an extremely awakening experience so far as to how I live and how I approach /embrace changes in my life. I have learnt the ability to nurture all other areas in my life where I felt particularly stuck”-Rebecca Jones

My purpose in undertaking the ‘Diploma in Holistic Living Counseling’ was twofold. First, on a personal level I had arrived at a time and space in my life where I felt an undeniable urge to actively engage in furthering my own healing journey – I was ready to step up and meet the challenges that lay ahead. The course was an amazing transformational experience and one that accelerated my own personal growth and healing ability to levels I would have only dreamed about.” Deborah Howe
Doing this course has given me so many gifts, but for me the best treasure has been learning and putting into practice the greatest toolbox of skills that allow me to truly live a holistic life. It’s the life I never knew could exist, one that’s full of awareness, compassion, possibility and gratitude. I feel more able to live each day experiencing my ‘whole self’ and I have learnt to love and embrace the real ME. I feel more able to live in the moment, and feel passionate and excited about my future. I have better relationships and have learnt truly effective communication skills that allow me to relate to others with an open heart. And last but not least I have joined a beautiful network of like-minded, supportive people that I’m proud to call my friends and ‘holistic family’. To anyone interested in doing the course, I can only encourage you whole heartedly to begin now! Begin the life you’ve always wanted to live and experience a truly safe, supportive and nurturing learning environment.– Kate Stephenson
 
 
 
 

“When I first began the ‘Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling’ I did not realise what an effect it would have on my life. I can say quite honestly that it has changed my life for the better. My intention when I began the course was to gain the skills to help people heal. It has done that plus much more What makes this course so unique is that I went on my own healing journey and DID every process myself. I learned more about myself on this course than any other course I have done. My life has changed and I have the confidence to travel on a path I never thought I would.” Julie Driscoll.

<Alannah it is a gift and a pleasure to find you and be able to do your course.
I loved the material…. I loved the emotional exercises….. My heart is full of gratitude to you for your courage and vision to put this course together, and full of gratitude to myself for having the commitment to keep going with it when my life seemed falling apart. I also believe that it was the right time and the perfect support to give to myself although when I started this course I did not know how much it would support me…
– Anita Rechnitzer
When I first began the Certificate in Holistic Communication (Step 1,2 & 3) I felt that I had some awareness, I felt that I connected with my emotions and took good care of myself. Then as I began the journey I realised that I still had alot that I could learn. What it has done has given me a really strong self support system. It has improved my life because I have made a committment to myself to support myself on many levels, emotionally, phyiscally, mentally and spiritually. I also came to undestand that by doing this I have created a balanced life and I feel emotions of happiness and joy and laughter so much more often now. I have reclaimed my power.If you are considering this course I recommend it because you incorporate it into your life easily and you feel the benefit with every session you do. You also learn about the fundamental aspects of self support and it is the biggest gift that you can give yourself.– Tania Serong


The ‘Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling’ is dynamic, healing, thought provoking, challenging, safe and enjoyable. A life changing journey, I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in personal growth and is passionate about enabling and supporting others.” – Denise Litton
