“I went into this course really unsure of what boundaries were and how they could be applied to my life in a productive and beneficial way.

6 weeks of well thought out sub-topics taught with gentleness and encouragement, where thinking for oneself and sharing thoughts and ideas was encouraged, has given me the relevant understanding and tools to confidently adopt and embrace boundaries in a way personal to me.

Definitely recommended”.

“I found this course answered many questions I didn't know I had! Upon hearing others speak I realise that I wasn't alone in the struggle on how to present a boundary and the feelings associated when deciding on a boundary and how the boundary will be received.

I have a renewed confidence in knowing it is OK to set and to deliver a boundary and not need to apologise internally to myself, or to others. The examples on how to phrase a boundary in a non-confrontational, yet clear manner are strong reference points for me to use in the future.

If you struggle with boundaries, feel overwhelmed by life being out of alignment, then this course will help bring the balance back, by you taking control and knowing it is OK to self-care in a non-confrontational way”.

“I have attended the Boundaries course with Allison and would warmly recommend it to any individual that struggles to feel their voice heard. Often we are taught by society to be 'kind' and 'put others first' and this can unwittingly disadvantage us when we find ourselves in a workspace or lifespace with other individuals who seem comfortably able to step forward and dictate the environment. 

This course has helped me to speak up with quiet confidence, and sit with the outcome knowing that I cannot control the response of others present but I am responsible for my own comfort - and I am entitled to be comfortable in my workspace and lifespace environments!”.

“This course gave me a set of tangible skills that I never had the good fortune of learning growing up.  From understanding what boundaries are through to developing an action plan for boundaries to work on in my life with confidence was immensely valuable.

The examples and stories shared by others in the group helped me realise that I am not alone in this.  I am learning and practising.  It is empowering to set and communicate boundaries, and means I am less resentful of others who I thought were taking advantage of my kind nature.  It’s linked to self-esteem.  Allison and the group helped me see that.

Allison has considerable experience as a life coach and just knows the right thing to say and when to support, encourage, and challenge you to grow.  I thoroughly recommend this course”.

"Allison's exploration of Boundaries looks not only at why they're important but also why they're sometimes hard to establish and maintain. In this course, I've learned so much about myself and how old habits and instincts can actually cause me harm if I'm not careful. Being able to use boundaries to protect and support myself gives me the room to grow and learn. It validates me and my curiosity, casting light on people-pleasing and my critical inner voice. I now feel able to 'stop and consider' before responding with intention - previously I just felt compelled to react.

Even though the lessons were only an hour a week, Allison was there throughout with a gentle hand on the wheel, guiding and supporting my own learning journey. My often-rambling emails were always answered with kindness, patience and shared celebration for the discoveries I've made”.
