“Deborah paid close attention to everything that I was saying and that my body was saying. I found her attention to detail, listening skills and ability to follow what was coming up for me to be exquisite.
It seemed that she had a great wealth of experience and knowledge in different areas which she could draw on as she felt fit. This allowed her to tailor the experience very uniquely for me, but still with great depth. I found her to be thoughtful, warm, responsive and caring. By the end I felt really seen and that what we were working through mattered.
It wasn’t always easy in that challenging things came up for me but I appreciated that Deborah could hold me gently at those edges of more unexplored territory. I loved the ritualistic aspect of some of what we did which was new for me but quite powerful.”

“Working with Deb on a Just Me Retreat is an investment in learning new ways of working with myself, of embodying the intention I set for “clarity of being-ness.” The crucible is made from all the parts together. Deb is capable of calling in all the parts. I am capable of meeting them, no matter the content/the vibration they carry. ”

— Louise, UK
“When you’re doing a Retreat, there’s no escape in between the sessions. You just get to really be fully present with whatever comes up and go deeper. You drop a layer. You get out of your own old body, a whole skin. I have changed my energy, there is no going back.”
— Simone Pereira, Dubai
“In retrospect I didn’t realise what was being carried. There were vague psychological memories that had been shut down; a haunting. I now have a clear perspective of the past and can feel it is no longer a part of me, in that haunting way it was.”
— Carol, Scotland
“There are few practitioners with the depth of integrity, knowledge and experience as Deborah so if you get a chance to work with her, take it with both hands and an open heart.”

“(A Just Me Retreat) was a great gift to myself. It is a big investment, but it is worth it. It’s hard to find such a thing as this, not getting disturbed by my daily life, by my surroundings, the people in my surroundings. It’s a flowing process. It’s really worthwhile.”
— Angela Brekelmans, Holland
“Deborah is deeply empathic, loving, knowledgeable and professional. The perfect guide for me.”
