Thank you for facilitating the workshop on October 23.  It was a wonderful, humorous and thought provoking  presentation.   

I was delighted to watch the attendees enjoying your inspiring talk and afterwards listen to the discussions about the powerful messages you had delivered.  The formal feedback from the attendees has been excellent and there were a number of positive comments about the content and style of your presentation.

It has been a great pleasure working with you, Marilyn. I look forward to our continued association and hope to be in a position to invite you back next year.

“I was on a journey of self exploration and had done a few courses including a spiritual growth course which friends recommended I do with Marilyn. After meeting her socially I felt that there was a connection and that she walked her talk. This was the beginning of a life long friendship and mentorship. The Balanced Life Course taught me simple techniques which have significantly changed my life and the way I look at the world. I now understand that we are not lone beings wandering aimlessly around the planet. We are all connected, not just with each other but as the Balanced Life course teaches, we are connected to everything. I found the course thought provoking and the principles taught in the course made me rethink how I lived.”

My husband and I met Marilyn when we were tourists on a 7-day cruise on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.  Unbeknownst to us when we signed up, there was a holistic health theme to the cruise and Marilyn was one of the co-coordinators.  I became drawn to her almost immediately due to her positive attitude, her sunny disposition, and desire to help others in spite of her own obvious health problems.  She is an outstanding role model and the most inspirational person I know in that regard.  She is a woman who truly "practices what she preaches."

"Marilyn is an inspiration. As a counsellor she is very supportive and understanding. I have acted for clients in Family Law proceedings who have been attending on Marilyn for counselling and support. I notice that over time the client "becomes" stronger and consequently the client is able to provide firm instructions as to the progress of their matter. I have a sense that with Marilyn's assistance the client feels empowered. Some of the clients that I refer to are going through emotional and financial difficulties together with trying to cope with stressful Court proceedings.

On a personal level, Marilyn has become a dear friend and through that friendship we have discussed our own physical pain and emotional sorrow as to the loss of our respective parents.

I recall one particular morning I had a very sad telephone call from a cousin who had lost her mother through tragic circumstances. I was very close to this relative and I had to go from that distressed call into Court to conduct a trial. I managed to speak briefly to Marilyn and she restored the calmness and clear thinking for me to follow through my tasks for that day."
