"Victoria is a wonderful inspirational yoga teacher, I have taken part in yoga many time before but I can truly say that Victoria has helped me understand the benefits of yoga on a much deeper level. After enjoying a 6 week beginners class with Victoria I now enjoy Yoga classes with Victoria along with my husband in the comfort of our own home . She is very responsive and patient allowing us to progress at our own pace and listen to our bodies."

"After a tough autumn I needed some time to recover and the healing space approach sounded just the thing. It was and more. The aromatherapy massage and wonderful relaxing massage was perfect, and all the more so because of Victoria's insight and expertise. In all I booked for 3 sessions and each session was better than the last allowing me to rediscover myself. I felt so balanced, calm and connected to the world around me physically and mentally it was a revelation. Thank you so much."

"At last I have found a couple of minutes to send you my comments about the Healing Space event at the Retreat Farm.
I have to start by saying that I have never felt so calm and relaxed and would like to thank you so much for organising the day. It provided me with a space to practice my yoga without the rushing back to daily life afterwards. Having an autistic child can be extremely draining and the opportunity to just be was wonderful. As if that wasn’t enough on its own, the treatments that were also available were fab. I have never had Reiki before and the experience was phenomenal. All that remains to be said is that next time your organise one, I’ll be there!!
Thanks again"

"If you would like to try yoga but are worried about feeling out of place, or concerned that you won't be able to keep up, then I would recommend joining us on Tuesday mornings in Victoria's yoga class.
I started Yoga with Victoria just over two years ago. The chronic back pain I had experienced all through my working life is now a thing of the past. My whole body is much more flexible and most important my balance has improved considerably. I only wish I had started Yoga years ago.
Victoria always adapts her Yoga to the level of the class, tells us to listen to our bodies and not to worry about what others are doing, just do what we can. Exactly what you need when you have passed a certain age.
The class ends with a period of relaxation which leaves us with a feeling of well-being and calm, a perfect antidote to the busy lives we lead. "

"Victoria’s Opening into Spring retreat was fantastic.
A beautiful Spring day, a peaceful venue – just what I needed to awaken my mind and body in my way.
And Victoria’s approach was just right. She tuned in to the tension I feel between wanting to ‘get on’ with the year but not really being ready. She provided a safe space, set a steady, relaxing pace and kept a watchful eye on each of us throughout the day. Can’t wait ‘til the next one"

"Victoria’s Parent and Child Yoga session gives me the space and peace I need to be a better mum.
Victoria creates a relaxed, responsive atmosphere in which we can really enjoy our children’s company and relish their spontaneity and creativity. We never know what’s going to happen next, as we watch our children making yoga their own and learning more about themselves and their resources. It’s a time when I can let go of the role of mum, and just enjoy the experience."

"I think Victoria makes yoga great fun as we all get along and can relax and enjoy all our company. She always knows how to help us if we are struggling and shows us new things that we can practise in yoga classes and at home. She never pushes us too much and makes sure we are doing yoga safely and correctly.
I am sure I will want to carry on doing yoga when I go to secondary school because I think yoga is a great hobby and Victoria is a fantastic teacher!"

"Yoga has become a fundamental part of my life since finding Victoria’s classes in April 2009.
I had tried yoga before but was more interested in ‘feeling the burn’. All that changed when I was diagnosed with ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy) and due to my reluctance to become dependent on conventional medication, my Specialist recommended that I give Yoga a try.
I remember arriving at Victoria’s class frazzled and emotional, yet intuitively knew I had found a place which was calm, non-competitive and didn’t place any expectations on me. It didn’t matter that I was unable to touch my toes or hold a posture. The only thing that mattered was that that I respected and listened to my body.
When practiced regularly, the effects of Yoga seep into every area of my life. The anxiety, stress and chronic pain I have experienced most of my adult life become manageable - I guess you could say that Yoga has given me quality of life.
Victoria’s classes are like a haven for me. No mobile phones, no demands. I can honestly say I have experienced moments of deep relaxation and sheer joy during a class, especially when I find myself able to balance. I have seen my body tone, lengthen and strengthen through yoga. And the bonus? Never before have I found such an effective treatment for cellulite."

My daughter gave me time with Victoria as a birthday present and it included Tibetan Head Massage. It felt as if I was being touched by a loving Spirit and sceptic as I am I have to admit I was different afterwards and still am two months later!
Thank you, Victoria. You are indeed a Healer.
