TESTIMONIALS
"Thank you so so much for such a lovely few weeks. In honesty when I booked the course I was in the middle of one of the worst anxiety spells, and I booked it as a future goal for me to be able to get out and leave the house and meet people. Doing the course, being creative and connecting meant a lot to me, but it was also gave me a goal to not let my anxiety win. So thank you so, so much."
