As Universal Journey continued to develop as a system, I tried and tested different aspects of it to make sure that each part fitted together – and that the results people were getting were generally the same.
My clients below, many of whom have been with me for 16 years or more, are still feeling the benefits of what we did in those early days. There are too many to mention here but here is a sample of what people achieved by applying what they learn on my Courses in Personal Development and Communication.
My next Course – an Introduction to Universal Journey – starts in July 2014 on Saturdays from 11am to 3pm in London SW14.
The Class will give you some very real and practical skills that you can apply immediately to improve the way you listen, communicate and connect. For more information, please go here.
"I really enjoyed doing the Journey with Alison. Afterwards I felt a wonderful sense of calm and felt very peaceful and tranquil within. I feel that my eyesight and hearing is sharper and I feel much more connected with those around me. I would highly recommend Alison. Her one to ones and the Journey have helped me so much. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I feel so blessed to have worked with her." Penny, Personal Trainer, London"Alison’s teaching is very hands on and practical; you work at your own pace and level of development in a supportive and safe environment gaining very satisfying results. I have personally been able to see my skills develop and grow each time. Alison has taught me to trust my instincts and has shown me how to tap into a variety of tools which we all have access to and can use every day. Professionally, because of the experiences I have gained with Alison, I have become a better Teacher and my ability to communicate with other teachers and especially pupils in school has opened up." Kerry Lavell, Art Teacher, NZ
"It’s difficult to specify all the things that I got out of your Course, Alison, because there were so many. Thanks to you, I have discovered abilities in myself I never dreamed I had. You taught me to believe and trust myself, and encouraged me to allow an opening-up process which has begun a chain of incidents and insights into myself which I will always be grateful for. You are a truly gifted teacher, a kind and caring person who imparts her knowledge easily and clearly. You engender confidence in your students and I have been inspired by your Course". Claire Weller, Actress
"As a professional Complementary Therapies Practitioner (Reflexology, Reiki & Bowen Therapy), it has always been important for me to develop my skills in such a way that I could provide a more complete healing service to my clients. I have known Alison for about 13 years and both my husband and I have found her to be a genuine, enthusiastic, professional and very supportive person. As a teacher, she is generous with her knowledge and I have recommended her to several people who have used her services". Sunayana, Complementary Therapies Practitioner, London, UK"After recently attending Alison's Workshop it seems as if someone has "turned up the volume" in every aspect of my life. Alison is wonderfully supportive and immensely instructive - she has the great ability to make the most complicated or foreign concepts appear simple. This course is appropriate for any level of knowledge and experience. It will definitely teach you something new. Alison, your Workshop was a true milestone for me - I am enjoying the results daily." Stephanie, GS Associate, London.
"Alison brings a wealth of personal experience to her work which adds a dimension and credibility I have yet to experience elsewhere. Her skills as an intuitive are exceptional and... the depth to which she works is astounding. I have no hesitation in recommending Alison to you." Shelley, Chiswick.
"Examples of your own experiences were mind-blowing, and a real inspiration. I still can’t pinpoint when I started to change my thought patterns, but the clarity I was experiencing was an enormous leap from what I’d had. What still sticks in my mind is the importance of blocking out our own thoughts and distractions when focusing on someone else. This is something I’ve really had to practice and it helps on a daily basis, even when just trying to slow down my own thoughts for decision making. I was starting to notice real differences in my emotional reactions to situations. I was being more honest with people and making decisions easier."
"I have worked with Alison on and off for several years, initially for one to ones and later on personal development and intuition. Alison is very grounded and focused on empowering people to move forward in their lives with confidence and trust in their abilities and strengths. I have found Alison to be both gracious and determined in her approach to better the lives of others through self-belief and self-fulfilment. She is a true professional in her business." Paula Sharp, Natural Nutritionist at Paula Sharp Ltd
"My overall impression is increased knowledge and awareness; in both the topics covered and of my capabilities. I have had very strong feelings of things finally falling into place. In day to day life everything has been much clearer; my thoughts are much clearer and my mind is no longer filled with unnecessary doubts and worries. Visually too, things appear clearer. The best way I can explain this is to liken my vision to a television screen. A fuzzy picture has been re-tuned and brought into sharper focus. A number of people have also told me that they have noticed a change in my face - something I am unable to detect as I see it more frequently!!! I feel that this course is a continual learning process, both personally and spiritually and also see it as a starting point from which to carry on after it has finished. When I first enrolled I expected to gain increased self-confidence - and my expectations have most certainly been met!!! Lisa, Australia.
"Coming from background in Marketing for a blue chip UK company and being a practising Therapist and Reiki Healer, I have always been keenly aware of how important the communication process is - and how to develop my skills to provide both a better service to my existing clients and leverage my position at work. I decided to join Alison's Course because of this and also because the subject was something that had interested me for some time. What attracted me to Alison was her clear, down-to-earth approach, the fact that she puts everything so simply and that I felt very safe opening up with her. The results I got frankly stunned me - I found that if I just relaxed and did what came naturally I was able to relay back to people very specific and accurate information that there was no way I could have known. Alison helps take away all the fear from this process, making it easy to develop quickly. I also learnt to rely more on my Intuition as a result of the course, something that benefits me in every area of my life. I would recommend Alison's courses to anyone wanting to develop good people/communication skills, and those who want to have more confidence in their Intuition." Louisa, L&D Manager, London
"I have recently attended Alison's Course in self-development and cannot recommend it more wholeheartedly. Alison is an extremely gifted and committed individual, who due to her personal experience, study and skill is able to ensure that each individual on the course is able to learn and expand themselves as far as possible. Her openness is refreshing and inspirational... I have already perceived huge changes in my view of myself and my abilities, and have already seen how these have impacted beneficially in my relationships with others. Within myself I feel a deeper sense of authenticity and self-possession, which has, and will continue to enrich my life... I am (now) able to move forward in my life with an assurance and faith that was previously lacking. I had attended previous courses in some of the aspects covered on this Course, but never before did I feel able to allow myself to accept the things I felt... but with Alison's full support and encouragement, I have amazed myself at how far I have come in these four weeks. She is able to build a wonderful rapport with students and you feel she benefits from the Courses as much as the students. In essence what Alison is able to do is assist the process of finding answers within yourself to questions you may not have even thought of and this I believe is what good teaching is all about. She is a truly inspirational and enlightened person, and it has been a pleasure to work alongside her." Pixie, Artist, London.
"Dear Alison, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed participating in your Course. It was both fascinating and informative. I was very impressed by the extent of your abilities and found you to be extremely supportive and helpful. In fact although it was now some time ago, I still find myself able to trust and act more on my Intuition that I have ever done previously. In particular when making the kind of big decisions I have recently done. This was something I had been meaning to explore for years, as had both my daughters, who have also taken your course and benefited enormously, particularly my youngest who found her skills opening up very suddenly. You have helped her not only come to terms with the process but be able to use them in a positive way for herself and the benefit of those around her. As a result she has become a much more confident and happy person to be around. I also want to thank you for the consultation you gave me. It was uncannily accurate. I would wholeheartedly recommend you and your method of teaching." Kathy Prest ~ Sculpture http://www.kathyprest.co.uk, London"During my Universal Journey I went back to my Soul. This was in essence the profound experience I encountered during my session with Alison. Probably one of the most significant experiences of my life. Alison clearly authored this self discovery programme in a way that does not need to feel complicated or with a need for previous knowledge in meditation or similar practices; it can be done by anyone wishing to understand themselves more, for it is a process that enables you to get in touch with your deepest self. It is best to expect nothing and just ‘be’ –and as Alison guides you through it, you will soon find that you reach realms within yourself that you never knew existed. In my journey I experienced the greatest revelations about myself and also about the people close to me - this experience had a ripple effect in my daily life as I was more centred, more calm and more aware. I felt I began to understand what I am truly about and what my unique gifts are. I would recommend the Journey to anyone who wishes to really understand themselves more, who wishes to be able to communicate at a more authentic level with family, friends and colleagues and who wants to achieve deep seated harmony and peace with themselves. I would encourage anyone to just go for it – you can only gain from it!" Ming Tai, London
