"I was at a stage of my life where I felt stuck and I didn't know which way to turn. I felt like I was in a black hole and didn't know a way out. I found out about Demi from a very dear friend of mine, I'd seen a big difference and change in her. I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did. Demi put me at ease from the moment I met her. If you are suffering with anxiety and depression like I was, you don't have to suffer anymore. Demi is an amazing and inspiration lady, I can't thank her enough. It was worth every penny, money well spent. Demi has given me the strategies and tools to use."

"When I hit rock bottom in my life yet again after losing both my parents and people close to me I knew I needed some help and some sort of guidance, rather than depending on medication, so I trawled the internet and found Demi, I'd never tried anything like this before but it felt so, right. I was obviously anxious about booking up but I am so glad I did. Demi gave me the tools to change the mind set I've had for decades and i now have a new lease, of life. I also know she is there in the short or long term future. I feel forever in her debt."

"I believe there is a guardian angle for everyone and Demi has been mine. Demi never promised to wave a magic wand to help me but what she did do was what I can only explain as a switch that was turned on. My whole way of thinking and living was changed. Depression and anxiety is an endless tunnel of complete darkness and Demi helped me find my way out and into the light. so quickly. I look at things in a different light now and feel so content with life and all that is around me. I can not thank Demi enough! My whole family have noticed the change in me. My guardian angel."

"I am forever grateful to you for revealing my ‘Palace’ to me. You have enabled me to open the door into this wonderful caring universe, the great provider. Every day I notice how the universe provides in small and big ways. The course I did with you was life changing and empowering. I am trying to bring your message to my children in school and it works! I would dearly love to meet you again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my very best wishes to you."

Geraldine C
“After over 20 years having depressive episodes I wanted to break the cycle. The 2 days spent with Demi have literally changed my life! I now have the tools to create the life I deserve. I think EVERYONE could benefit from doing this course. Thank you Demi for guiding me to my ‘palace’."
​
Amanda RW
"I can honestly say booking an individual 2 day course with Demi was the best decision I have ever made.
Right at the start, she guaranteed, that if I put into practice all that I learned while on the course, I would have a rich, rewarding, joyful life, free of depression and anxiety. I am now living and building that life and I feel fabulous. Forget “learning to live with depression”, forget “coping with depression”. Don’t waste another second. Get yourself down to Demi’s lovely home in Devon. After 2 days you will know exactly how to banish depression forever. You can do it, it’s real and I can’t thank her enough for showing me the way."
​
Sue C
“This course was the shot in the arm I needed. Having lived with depression for nearly 20 years I wanted to take control of my life after having expected someone to wave a magic wand and take it away from me. I was drawn to Demi's website and I am so pleased as from the moment I was welcomed into Demi's home to the moment I left I felt I was finally achieving something. With the will to take control, openness to change and putting the work in, I have found 'me' and am finally enjoying being me. The change has been instant and for that I can't recommend the course enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Helen W
"I was a little sceptical at first of travelling to spend a couple of days in the countryside with some other people to confront our depression. The scepticism disappeared as soon as I met Demi with her open and welcoming heart. The setting was lovely - an extremely comfortable English country bed and breakfast set in peaceful countryside where Demi immediately motivated us to look at ourselves and our problems in a completely different light. On leaving, I was convinced I would like to return at least once a year , if not more, for some good grounding top up sessions. I would very much like to recommend Demi and her caring method".
​
D P
"Up until the very minute before I met Demi, I was still questioning my decision to come to Devon. I was sceptical and nervous.
From the minute after meeting Demi I felt at ease - I was hopeful but still sceptical.
After the first day I knew my decision was right - I felt I had "come home". Here was someone who "got me". The level of understanding and communication between us was enough to brush all my scepticism aside.
Today, almost a month later, I can categorically say that seeing Demi was the best decision of my life!!!
Thank you Demi for fulfilling all my hopes - you are amazing!"
​
Catherine P
"I am indeed changing my thinking and therefore changing my life Demi!
I have not missed my job, I have not missed my wage, I have spent a lot of time traveling and visiting my friends and family. My relationships are more harmonious, I have given up a lot of my fears, I am reaching out to others. I feel more at peace, I have learned the value of vision boards and meditation. I continue to read the file you gave me I am very glad I met You.
Love and blessings Demi."

"I was in a familiar dark place in my life but had been here for a longer time than before and found myself stuck, unable to get out. I was so thankful to have found Demi who equipped me with the tools I needed to break free. During our time together I managed to see the chinks of light, love, hope and amazing possibilities that is my life. Thank you Demi, I am not only hopeful for my future but excited as I fully embrace it."
​
Kerry W
"Looking back I recognise that I was at breaking point, that something had to be done, and urgently.
My retreat to Demi Schneider was my rescue: it set me on the path to recovery. Demi unstintingly helped me survive.
Her encouragement to focus on the good in life, and in myself, the tools to create a positive existence, set me on a different, productive and positive path.
In particular for me was the re-connecting to my inner child. The relationship is worth its weight in gold.
My sincere thanks to Demi.

"Thank you for a very helpful and informative 2 days. I'm feeling better already and in a much more positive state of mind . I now know what I need to do in my life and the confusion I felt has gone which is a massive relief. I went to bed last night with nice happy thoughts. I listened to my CD and it definitely helped me to sleep; I was out for the count within seconds."
​
Pam S
"I am in a good place. I am functioning well and I am coping well. I am feeling happy and upbeat. I am delighted with the inner peace I have found. What has really surprised me are the comments from close friends who have known me all my life"

"The 2 day course helped me leave behind things I thought I never could and go to places in my subconscious I didn't know existed. I am now on a very exciting new journey. Surely the best use of time and money ever. I would without any hesitation recommend the course but more importantly you, Demi, and how you tune in so specifically to an individuals needs. Amazing!"
​
Jackie M
" My time with Demi, enabled me to step outside the box in terms of my thinking patterns, and to look inwards on my life and situation. Since the course I have felt extremely empowered in terms of how I think and feel within my everyday life. Demi is full of warmth and compassion and I would recommend her unreservedly"
​
Lucy B
" I find it hard to believe the marked improvement in my mood and feeling of well being since attending the Retreat less than a week ago
I came away from the course feeling joyful and positive with the confidence that I would soon be saying a final goodbye to my longstanding
depression"
​
"I am so happy as each day is so much happier. I wake up earlier. I sleep well. I look forward to my day. I am more confident talking to people. My memory is gradually getting better. I am a changed person and so proud of myself and I am so lucky to be given the chance of help to get better, which I am so thankful for. A big thank you to Demi. I can't thank Demi enough, she has changed my life completely. Thank you Demi from the bottom of my heart."

"I arrived with considerable trepidation and many hallmarks of life-long negativity that had driven me to despair and a deep depression. I left with a new found sense of effortless joy and positivity together with a sense that this will continue to grow into the future unabated. I thank you and truly appreciate your charismatic, expert, patient and devoted attention that has enabled me to feel that I am now firmly on the road to a vastly more fulfilling and successful relationship with life as a whole. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I had a very positive experience working with Demi. She opened up my eyes to new way of living and put a lot of effort into making things clear for me. I now have lots of of tools to keep me on the right path for a much better life. The course was great value for money also, with the time you have with Demi and all info, books and audios she gives. I would definitely recommend her"
P C
"Words cannot express how I feel about what Demi has done for me. I arrived at her house a depressed self pitying wretch and left totally changed. Demi not only sets you on the correct pathway for the rest of your life but also provides you with all the tools necessary to keep you on it. People who did not know what mental state I was in have commented about how well I look now, and my sister says that I look 10 years younger! Don’t go under the knife for a facelift, enrol now on one of Demi’s courses and your life too can be so much more enjoyable. Thank you Demi".
​
Judy G
"I came across Demi having googled "depression bootcamp”, feeling at the end of my tether after suffering from depression on and off for the past 20 odd years. At that point I was thoroughly fed up with living what felt like a half-life. After an initial chat, I signed up for the 2-day residential course. This helped me see that my negative feelings were a result of my thought patterns, and with Demi’s help, I started to unravel those unhelpful thoughts and learn how to replace them with positive ones. This has made a massive difference to my mood, my outlook and my life. I am now able to nip things in the bud when I feel myself going down an unhelpful train of thought. My life is a lot happier and I am very thankful for the help and support that Demi has given me. I felt listened to but also gently challenged to - literally - rethink my life. Thank you Demi."
​
Val G
"I have started 2015 in a completely different place to 2014 and that is down to the love support and guidance Demi has consistently given to me. I wasn't 'depressed' but I had lost all direction after a divorce and needed to figure out who I was and what path I needed to be on. Demi has allowed me to not just find who I am but create who I want to be - a positive, calm person who trusts their own gut feeling about what is right for them and being able to flow with life and enjoy the process, rather than dictate every move, then be frustrated life feels such like hard work. I am truly grateful for her presence in my life and will continue to speak with her to keep me living this amazing new life.
I would very much recommend her to anyone who like me felt stuck, wanted to change but didn't know how."
​
Charlotte E
"Thank you for everything. I am a different person now and am grateful to you for facilitating this change in me.
I found Demi through an internet search. I was desperate, scared, lonely and very depressed. I took a 5 hour journey to see Demi and was filled with apprehension. All this was dispersed when she greeted me at the door and welcomed me into her home. I knew I was in 'safe hands' and all was well. I spent two long days with Demi working through many issues which rose up. She is a very patient, understanding, caring, and loving person who put me on the road to recovery. I felt like I was in a pit and there was no way out. Demi gave me the ladder to climb out and gave me the tools to face life with joy, peace and love in my heart. I am so grateful I found her. Many thanks to a truly inspirational lady…..a lady called Demi!"
​
Carole P
"I knew I was in trouble!! Work, life, love, money - everything was an ongoing disaster! On and off Prozac, I finally got to an all time low - in the blackest of pits! I knew I had to make changes, but how?? I simply Googled until I came across Demi's website and the opportunity of an upcoming course within a few days!! Rescue at last!! I didn't hesitate to book - instinctively it felt right even before talking to her on the phone. Within a few hours I could feel positive changes happening as I understood why and how I needed to 'change my blueprint'. Everything made so much sense. It really was a revelation! So....if you have any doubts whatsoever - cast them aside and trust 100% in Demi. If you truly want to turn your life around and you are willing to work at it ( it ain't difficult!!) Demi will give you the tools to do it. She is simply fabulous! THANKYOU!!!"

Highly Recommended!!!
The best thing I ever did was to invest in myself!!
Truly life transforming experience!!
Fabulous retreat!!
After years of riding the rollercoaster of life’s ups and downs I wanted to break the cycle and find my true happy place. 2 days with Demi and what an amazing feeling to walk out the door with a spring in my step knowing I have the tools to create the life I deserve. I cannot thank you enough for your continuous support, you have truly changed my life! I now remain in my happy place. I will be forever grateful.
During the COVID-19 pandemic I reached a point where I was exhausted and depressed. I realised that I needed help and the space to focus on myself. I came across Demi online and booked a retreat with her in Devon. Demi taught me how to be aware of my thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns; this allowed me to adjust my responses and reactions to circumstances and people in a more positive way. I have learned to care for myself, to acknowledge my own worth and allow myself to want things for myself. It was a very intensive couple of days but it has set me on the right path. Demi was lovely and very invested in my progress. She welcomed me like an old friend and couldn’t have done more to get through to me or make me feel more at ease. Finding Demi has made all the difference and I would recommend her whole heartedly.

I don’t even know where to start except that Demi has changed my life for the better. Before I met Demi I hit rock bottom, all my thoughts were so negative. I put myself down, cared more about making other people happy than myself as well as other things. Once I found Demi I knew it felt right and I clicked immediately with Demi on the consultation. She was so lovely, caring and assured me I wasn’t crazy and that I can be my best self again. The actual retreat was so lovely. Demi was so welcoming and I felt comfortable immediately. I opened up and I trusted the process. It was very intense and tiring but so worth it. It is honestly the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am now a different person and when I got home from the retreat everyone said how different I was, how happy and positive I had become and it’s because Demi has taught me to love myself again and not to let things get to me that used to. I now have a different mindset; I focus on myself, my life and what I need and what makes me happy. I cannot thank Demi enough, I wouldn’t like to think where I would be now if I hadn’t met Demi!

"Demi popped into my life at a bit of a low point and having googled alternative retreats, there she was with that beaming smile of hers. Her course really resonated with my needs, offering a direct, one to one approach. Having read the reviews and an initial 1 hour conversation with Demi I knew she would be able to help me out of the hole I was in. I am hoping that with my testimonial others can be encouraged to sign up like I did.
Demi is full of life and has a no-nonsense approach. She jumps straight in and within minutes I felt a difference. The weekend was intense and filled with an abundance of different techniques to help me change my mindset, leaving me feeling exhausted, enlightened and empowered. The follow up weekly calls were of great value as it kept me on my toes and gave me the opportunity to raise any challenges I was having.
I would highly recommend to others the value this time with Demi has brought me. It has been a unique and life changing experience and one that will stay with me as I continue to use what I have learnt in my day-to-day life (I hear Demi's voice most evenings when I listen to her recordings so she is never far away!).”

Prior to meeting Demi, my life had hit rock bottom, in shock from an unwelcome discovery. I came very close to being admitted to a psychiatric unit. Thank goodness, a lady from Mind recognised that I wasn’t mentally ill, but rather deeply traumatised. We did some research and discovered Demi‘s website. The idea of a one-to-one, tailored retreat in a beautiful part of the country looked very promising indeed. As soon as I made contact with Demi I knew I was on the right track. Work started immediately. In the time leading up to my retreat, Demi made herself available to me and started to provide me with the tools I needed to guide me through the hell I was in.
While on my retreat, I was bowled over by Demi’s enthusiasm, patience and dedication. She was able to show me that my difficulties started way before I'd realised. Everything started to make sense. At the end of the two days, I left Demi with a wealth of material to draw on and the comfort of all the ongoing support with follow up calls and the group meetings. I know that the rest of my life can be happy and fulfilled – I am in control of my own destiny. On the practical front, Demis courses provide excellent value for money. All materials, accommodation, food, and endless hours of Demi’s valuable time. It’s worth every penny.
Since reaching my 50s I have found that my health has suffered significantly, both physically and mentally, resulting in suicidal thoughts more frequently than I care to remember. I felt it was about time that I made attempts to help myself. This is when I googled online and found Demi’s details. I needed the tools to equip myself, which is just what was on offer here.
I was very impressed with Demi’s intuition and her extensive knowledge on mental and physical health and wellbeing, and the obvious connection between the two. She gave me the tools to work with and she refused to give up on me, when sometimes, I just could not be bothered. After the initial two day course in Devon and subsequent zoom sessions with her, I feel that I am on the road to recovery, and I now have the motivation and perseverance to habitualise working on myself on a daily basis. It is important to realise that there is no quick fix, and that it is a life long project to keep on track, with conscious effort and dedication together with a whole lot of mindfulness, ie, being conscious of the thoughts running through your head, and having the willingness to obliterate the negative ones. Demi will equip you well for your journey and she knows you are worth it. Since seeing her, I have not had any suicidal thoughts, but if I were to have these, I now have the necessary tools at hand to assist me, plus I now know that I am worthy and deserving of all good that the universe has to offer. I feel that Demi has become a friend and would always be there should I need her. She has already invested a lot of time and energy into my wellbeing, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for not giving up on me. I owe it to myself to continue the journey, but I now know, I am not alone.

When I first met Demi I had spent my whole life believing there was something fundamentally wrong with me and that was why I couldn’t live confidently, engage with my children, have meaningful relationships and why the world couldn’t understand me. When I was close to booking, I changed my mind, almost convincing myself the course wouldn’t be right for me because I thought I had Borderline Personality Disorder and Co-dependency or a combination of several other mental health diagnoses I had found online as well as an eating disorder and not a diagnosis of anxiety or depression! Be reassured, Demi’s course will help you whatever your difficulties are, whether you have a diagnosis or not.
I blamed other people and circumstances for the impossible situation I found myself in, life seemed too hard emotionally, and I just wanted to sleep until it was all over.
Thankfully I chose to book and I met Demi……..Wow! Demi is inspirational, supportive and so tuned in, she got to the core of my problems where so many NHS therapists couldn’t even get close. Demi created a personalised programme for me based on my needs and my own life experiences.
I came away feeling different, not a better more positive version of who I was but a completely different version of me!
I am truly living now, I am smiling again, I have such hope and people have noticed!
I can honestly say that Demi has given me access to a life I saw others living but never imagined I could lead myself.
My advice to you is, don’t wait until you are desperate; let Demi change your life now.

I was looking for some intensive therapy to make a meaningful shift in my life after having felt depressed for a long period of time, going through a break up and trying to find purpose. After an initial call, I booked to go to Demi for a one to one retreat over 3 days. As well as being so open and welcoming, Demi is incredibly insightful and understanding, and so genuinely and passionately invested in setting you on a new path towards a happier and more fulfilling life. Her energy is incredible!
To touch on any financial considerations for a moment, Demi has invested so much time in me, not only in the initial retreat but also the follow up sessions, and I feel that as well as all the real life benefits of the therapy it is incredibly good value. Unlike some of the therapy I had done before, Demi doesn't focus on the problem(s) but rather on the solutions and the creation of a positive space and mindset from which to move forward. This felt like a seismic difference to me and sets Demi apart.
She really cares about what she does and everything is so clearly laid out, with a great mix of reading, exercises, visualisations and other tools that really work and make sense. I now have a greater clarity and understanding of myself and I'm on the path to unlocking all the amazing things life can offer.
Thank you Demi!!
"It’s now about 6 weeks since I visited Demi for her 2 day intensive Depression Busting course. At the time I was dismayed and desperate, there was so little help for people suffering with depression and anxiety in my local area. I was under the local mental health team who were (to be frank )useless and all I was told was you’ll be put on a waiting list and we will see if you fit the criteria for help! I searched the internet for the kind of help I considered I needed, that could be tailored to my needs – intensive 1-2-1 therapy available straight away.
There she was, my angel Demi Schneider. I filled in a form and she rung me back . I felt sure we would be able to work together after her call and that she was going to be my saviour and my best chance of breaking out of my negative spiral of behaviours.
We worked on my problems for two days the very next week and covered all of my issues and more hidden problems as well. She has given me all of the tools and support I need to turn my life around. I am now in a completely different head space and feeling happy and confident about the future.
Demi is smart, very perceptive and very patient and will go with your needs rather than a set program. Her follow up calls have been very motivational and supportive. My life gets a better every day now I know what to do. If you are serious about shaking off the terrible habits of depression and turning your future around this could be the best money you ever spend. I can recommend Demi Schneider as your guide."

"After spending most of my life struggling with self worth issues, anger and depression, I found Demi. I saw her website 2 years earlier but didn’t have the “nerve” to contact, I then found myself in a desperate place and about to lose all that mattered in my life. I rang her out of desperation to save my life. Demi responded immediately and I travelled to her home and stayed in a hotel locally. This is immersive help, not the odd hour here and there that the NHS or many other counsellors would give. You are with Demi for long days, delving deep into where the issues are.
I am more focused, more appreciative of my strengths and now have the ability to see issues for what they are and deal with them, I use various tips given by Demi, on a daily basis, together with her audio tapes which I find very helpful. Some things will work for you straight away, others will need patience and regular work, but my life has been transformed by picking up the phone.
My advice is to be totally open minded, ready to understand and accept things that you probably would never consider. Be ready to be a different person with the guidance and love Demi will give. She is a very warm wonderful human being who genuinely cares deeply, this is not just a job, this is a true calling for someone who knows they can transform, help and inspire.
All of this is only possible if you are prepared to embrace the techniques and philosophies that Demi will guide you through.
Please do not delay, let Demi help you with love and understanding."

"When I decided to visit Demi, I was at a real cross-roads in my life. I realised that simply re-playing all the same old issues again and again was getting me nowhere and I just kept finding myself feeling negative and hopeless. I needed to find a way forward that would focus me in a more positive direction and thankfully finding Demi was the answer. Her approach is all about looking forward positively rather than spending your whole time looking backwards negatively. She has helped me developed some really powerful techniques for dealing with the trials and tribulations of life (both past and present) which hit all of us from time to time whether we like it or not. It is how we respond to these that is the key and Demi's approach has helped me in so many ways. As a result of my two days with Demi, I can honestly say that I have changed my perspective on life completely. I now have a little message on my mobile phone screen when it is locked that says "Enjoy Today" - and how true that is. If you start living in the here and now and appreciating all the things you do have and can do, rather than worrying about all the things you haven't got and can't do - your life becomes immeasurably richer very quickly. Everyone has noticed the change in me (especially my other half) and that in itself says a great deal. Demi has also been excellent at following up and keeping in touch which has been a big help. I can honestly say if you want to refocus yourself into a more positive place, then you will be in a very safe hands if you contact Demi."
Rebecca L
"I have spent a lot of years in varying degrees of anxiety and depression, and just thought it was down a lot of life trauma's that we all face. Until I met Demi. I was initially very sceptical that she could help me but as soon as I spoke to her on the phone I knew she could. I had tried all kinds of counselling etc in the past and none of them had worked for me. I spent 2 days one to one with Demi, which in itself was an achievement being away from my family and driving 5 hours to Devon on my own, but it was all worth it. Traditional 'counselling/therapy' is about revisiting the pain of all of the horrible life experiences that I thought were making me feel the way I felt. Demi's approach is very much more about understanding that it is not the event that is causing us the pain but how we think about it. It is all in the power of our thoughts and it only us who think in our head and therefore it can all be changed. She has given me the skills and the confidence to make changes that I never thought possible. I now get up in a positive frame of mind , glad to be alive! It is a work in progress, much the same as losing weight, you have to make small changes each day and stick to those changes for them to have an effect, and it is ok to have a bad day, and have a negative thought or 'eat a chocolate cake'. It is now 2 months since my time with Demi and people around me are noticing the changes in me. I cannot recommend her highly enough, if you are looking to make positive changes and feel better then I can definitely say hand on heart that it was the best time and money I ever spent. Thank you Demi"

For laudable reasons I have spent my life for the betterment of others, I thought I was superhuman, that my intellect would get me through, that life was a series of milestones based on success. I lost something along the way & came to a sudden halt, my mind stopped working, I had literally run out of juice. Some call this depression, a diagnosis that is easily made & some believe medication will be curative but in my opinion requires effort & the will, however small at the start, to get through it. Most importantly a willingness to try things that are alien at times, have faith that things will get better & not be hampered by beliefs derived from a scientific background or prejudices that you have developed.
Demi provided with that faith, the ability to realise that my thinking was ultimately the route of my problems, to accept me for myself, to see my good, feel blessed for my success & open myself to receive good from others.
The intensive course is challenging & tiring. Being in Devon away from your life is certainly helpful & gives time for contemplation. Give yourself time to assimilate, give yourself the real possibility of feeling genuinely happy by being open & willing to try. A few days after the course & time to assimilate what I had learnt, things seemed to fall in place, the world looked brighter & more welcoming. I laughed, hugged & talked with those that mattered. I had started to love again, I felt happy................ I am forever grateful."

"Life at 20 years old should be drenched in happiness, fun, contentment and excitement. For me, my life was instead consumed with negativity, severe anxiety, fear and unhappiness. Recognising that this was not a productive way to live, I spent many years searching for help in a variety of forms: medication, counselling, cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy. After years and years of no success, I was on the verge of giving up trying...and then I found Demi.
2 days with Demi on her Depression Busting Course provided me with the tools I needed, and was quite clearly lacking, in order to live through, and cope with, any situation. What I particularly found important was that there was no focus on the past and what had happened, it was all on how to live happily in the now, caring for your mind and body along the way.
Demi's warm, friendly nature and passion for what she does and believes in is alive with authenticity. Most importantly, her support and guidance continues beyond the course, ensuring her advice and tools are relevant to each person, and are built with firm foundations.
Thank you Demi for guiding me on to the right path and teaching me how to become at one with myself, living everyday with happiness and peace. You have changed my life and I shall be eternally grateful!"

"I had no idea what to expect when I went on this course and all I knew was that things weren't great for me. I'd just come out of a difficult relationship and felt extremely low, but worse still - I felt I had a recurrent problem with depression. My ex had described me as the most up and down person he had ever met and I had personalised this to the nth degree and convinced myself there was something wrong with me.
I was looking for answers and specifically a way to 'fix myself' when I came across Demi's courses. I had no idea what to expect but I knew I was willing to give anything a try... I nervously dialled the number on her site for a quick intro chat and immediately felt relaxed, listened to, and understood. The key things that I valued on that first call were the time that Demi gave without any commitment from me to undertake any further course, her approach which is clearly solution focused and is based on recognising our own ability to determine our own destiny. I think the following quote by Henry Ford excellent sums up the premise of the whole course which is: 'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right' and Demi spends two days giving dedicated time, hypnosis, empathy and straight forward easy to understand advice which provides the perfect tool kit to keep yourself in check. The thing that really struck me about the two day experience was the value it offers. Where else would you have one on one time with an experienced hypnotherapist which includes hypnosis and an entirely personalised approach for such value and in such close proximity to London - only 1h55 on the train. I think where Demi stands out from any other therapist I've met is her determination to push you to help yourself. This is exemplified not only by a follow up check-in to check you not only understand the concepts which Demi provides you in your work book which will then stay with you for life, but also her insistence that you 'learn' her work and make it an every day part of your life. I've always been scared about my depression returning and I now realise that any warning signs should be welcomed as a reminder that I need to address my thinking style. I've spent my life believing conflict against being the victim is my best way out, now I have realised that I am in control of my feelings and I can choose whether I let someone upset me or not. I no longer constantly give away my power. The monthly newsletters keep me on track.
Thank you Demi. I really appreciate everything you did for me at a very difficult time".
