Jordanna

Mataró on May 2025

I did breathwork sessions with Lottie - kind of counseling through the breath - once a week for a year before doing her training, and it was completely life transforming for me. She’s very intuitive, well trained, and knows how to hold space, and I’m not easy to hold space for. I went back for a trade session last week as part of the training and it was again consistently great. Price felt fair and I honestly can’t say anything negative.

Bracelona on May 2025

I met Audrey years ago and have been going back since. She’s a chiropractor who fixes the body based on the spine and also helps unlock the emotional part, which together has been really helpful for my health condition. Her space is super welcoming, feels like a second home, she’s kind and always explains what she’s doing, keeps learning new methods, and I can book online with her assistant often finding me a last-minute slot, though sometimes there’s a slight delay. Price feels fair for the results."

Amsterdam on Mar 2026

I went to the Sagrada Familia with my partner and met Robert in the morning, in a group of about 8, with little audio headphones. He is extremely knowledgeable on Gaudi and Sagrada Familia, and he talked us through loads of different aspects: from a bit of the spirituality to the light and the importance of how the building was created, and he answered every question. He felt very grounded, no showiness, very warm, and just full of helpful information, and everything was in English which worked well for a really mixed group. I would have liked the tour to be a bit longer, but that’s down to the time slots, and the price felt fair.
