Kind Words - Training Day

SOME KIND WORDS AND STORIES

"I couldn’t recommend this course more highly; Helen has a mesmerisingly gentle aura, her philosophical approach to healing therapies through the simplest of processes as of the "gentle touch”  just immediately resonated amongst the group.

Helen’s ability to connect and to put me as a relative newbie to massage at ease was incredibly reassuring, combining her vast knowledge of wellbeing and listening techniques with a natural and intuitive understanding of people. I can’t believe we covered so much in 1 day!

I have come away from the day with a willingness to connect with others, understanding the importance of touch and how many of us are lacking in this basic human sensory experience. I am practicing with a friend who has impartial sight and so far it’s going very well with the added bonus she is practicing on me, so a big win all round!

Thank you, Helen and Jerry, for your dedication in creating A Touch of Gentleness, I am sure the effects of which will ripple out amongst the world, something that is so much needed at this present time and we all need to tap into."

"I enjoyed being part of the training day, being onboard something special and magical and being amongst like minded people. I've always believed in the concept of 'pay it forward'  when a kindness is done,  and this will have a ripple effect.  Much needed in our world today.  I don't think I can put a score on the course as it is priceless."

"Such a beautiful concept for the new world, a world of love and gentleness. Thank you Helen and Jerry for all the work you have put into this and for the wonderful training day."

"I highly recommend this one day course which has been put together with a lot of care and professionalism. It combines, reflection, theory, hands-on practice of giving and receiving a hand massage and simply connecting with other people who want to share this gift of touch and presence.

Helen took us through a really inspirational day where time stood still giving us the skills, motivation and confidence to go out and share A Touch of Gentleness with friends, family and the wider community.

"The Touch of Gentleness training day was a really comprehensive experience. For me it was the perfect blend of being both informative and literally ‘hands-on’. Helen explained about the importance of living with gentleness and touch in all our lives with some great stories and examples.

She got us thinking too! Then we learnt how to pass on this gift to sooth, relax and uplift others. We were shown how to give a lovely relaxing hand massage – with lots of practice on each other! Although the training was just a day it was enough for me to feel confident in delivering this lovely, kind ‘present’ to others.


Oh, and as you would expect if you know Helen, it was all delivered with a good sprinkling of  humour and ‘Helen magic!’ I left feeling chilled and relaxed and keen to pass on what I had learnt."

 "I loved the training day for A Touch of Gentleness.  Full of practical advice together with sound theory, the day sped by.  It was made up of so many different elements, there really was something for everyone.

I would heartily recommend this course to anyone who wants to try it and be part of a movement that changes our world, one gentle touch at a time

"I came away from the day feeling proud, confident, happy with myself.  I learnt so much from the day and reminded myself I can do anything if I try. I also think about the word 'gentleness' so much more now-it's so powerful."
