What can l say? Thank you is a good start l guess. I began my journey with Glyn 6 months ago, and it has been quite a journey. I was a very depressed, anxious recovering alcoholic, with issues l thought could never be untangled. Glyn gave me lots of guidance and support, through breathing, grounding and understanding why l felt the way l did. I discovered I'm not alone with how l felt, I'm not the only one. I've come out of the other side, stronger, more focused and grounded. Thanks again Glyn, you really have made a big impact on me 💚
