Testimonials of Praise

I've been angry and defensive all my life. I lost my father when I was eight, trust didn't come easily. No one knew the real me, life was always on my terms. Someone gave me Arian's card and it sat on my desk for five months. After our first session, I felt lighter, my back wasn't pinching in its usual way. Over time my anger and pain associated with my father's death helped me become a better man. My behaviour is less angry and I now have the skills to watch my anger without acting on it. She helped me believe in myself and get through those tough times. 
- Peter U.

After my first session with Arian I felt better than when I walked in. Crying and talking about my brother's death when everyone else wanted to talk footy, Master Chef or their holiday. I felt safe and respected, she has never been judgemental and has been a towering force in her wisdom and calm to listen. Her counsel in my grief, as well as her mindfulness, and meditation have helped me listen deeply to myself. Thank you Arian.

​Arian has been an incredible blessing when I was at a low point in life. I had recently come out of a very damaging relationship. I was given the tools to help manage anxiety and loss, to find new direction and meaning. Her compassion and warmth have guided me to understand myself and the confusing world we live in. 
-Elly A.

Discussing life with Arian has been refreshing and challenging, she has a remarkable perspective and wisdom on things. Admittedly my formal training in psychology and coaching had not prepared me for the day to day changeability the world and my clients experience. I was stuck in my professional and personal life and the restraints in my approach and views. Arian has helped me increase my understanding significantly about the world we live in and  how much community matters to the health of human making. 
- Robert K.

The pressure to look like I was in control of my life without appearing stupid was a lie I was tired of hiding behind. Then a friend recommended that I see Arian.  She listened to me when I was so hard on myself. My partner noticed a difference after two weeks. Arian gave me tools to feel calmer and clearer to talk further about the demands of corporate life. Arian shared her wisdom, told stories and taught me how to reduce my anxiety to be more on purpose. She has shown amazing commitment in helping me create a plan to exit from my role and to spend more time being with like-minded people. I recommend  you book a session with Arian, you won't be disappointed.

Arian's patience, care and love helped me journey with reflection and meaningful analysis, which enabled new ways of being in the world after the loss of a career and relationship. I found direction in surprising ways that gave me energy, confidence and meaning.

​Arian's presence will captivate you, her wisdom, knowledge and techniques and soothing voice will enrich your whole being and take you where you  need to be in life. The richness of my relationship with Arian has spanned  21 years, my mentor in life. Her soul work, meditation and body work have been instrumental in discovering the core essence of who I am. Arian approaches her work with enormous integrity, a creative style, and with great care, and love and cannot be matched. I highly recommend anyone to embrace the experience of her work. Her teachings have taught me that the highest achievement I can reach, is to be as human as possible.

My days were so busy that if you said I would be meditating, not in a million years would I have done this training. But it's more than meditation. My attention just got bigger on so many levels. I am happier in myself. Arian has opened my eyes to the bigger world of work and relationships. I listen better. And don't get caught in the small things. Emotional Intelligence has made me more empathetic, kinder and confident.
– Scott B.

​

Arian has been able to teach me many different applications in which to employ attention training and meditation, be it my business, travelling in all types of traffic conditions, at home after work, preparation prior to sporting events, and during the course of those sporting events, and generally being able to relax during very busy times. Arian is enthusiastic, believes deeply in her teaching, and has been of great benefit to me.

​

What a fantastic way to step back from and into life. Learning how to relax quickly, being able to practice anywhere with the shorter meditations, learning to slow down my thinking and help clear my mind, to appreciating the insights from other course participants. This was a good format for it being my first time practicing mindfulness and meditation - a very good introduction. I truly enjoyed the experience.
- Karen McCoy
Melbourne Business School - Former Director of Alumni Relations

​

There is no question that pressure, and the attendant stress that it brings, is a day to day part of our industry, where a hectic day is the norm. Equipping people with the means to help cope with that stress and to be able to give your mind a break from the noise of office concerns can only be beneficial to both the person and the business. It took a long time for me 'to get around' to exploring meditation and, I am certainly pleased that I did: it's a great way to relax when things are normal, let alone when things are as crazy as they have been recently. Arian's simple, practical and effective techniques are very well taught and can be adopted, embraced and utilised by even the harshest, time poor sceptic. I am happy to recommend Arian's training programs to anyone because they work.

I didn't know what to expect and it was just so refreshing to be involved in a course that was practical, with an instructor who not only spoke with great experience, but also has an appreciation for the real world and real life experiences without judgement. Thank you so much Arian, a really positive experience.

A really generous, intuitive, dedicated program recognising wisdom realities but without the subjugation of self. Encourages exploration and discovery for the self. Thanks Arian, you are truly a warm and wonderful spirit.

I have found the career and life skills Arian has taught me, profoundly helpful in managing the challenges my role as a stockbroker presents me. Over several years I have developed stress management skills through the training of Arian, this has enabled me to deal with the inherent stresses and demands of trading for my clients. I was able to manage this stress with what I learned, which enabled me to provide a better level of service to my clients, reduce errors dramatically and enabled me to maintain a higher level of personal health. I believe the training offered by Arian is highly beneficial and appropriate to employees at all levels.

Arian’s ability to communicate the simplicity of mindfulness and meditation makes it accessible to anyone, anywhere. Her voice is so silky, smooth and meditative, that I am brought into a calm, meditative state immeditately. Arian not only walks her talk, she appears to embody the essence of meditation. Thank you for your healing words of wisdom and practice.
- Nicole McAuliffe
Past President of The International Coaching Federation (ICF) Victoria

I feel very privileged to be able to recommend Arian as a meditation coach, councillor and executive coach. Since 2012 I have been turning to Arian to help me gain clarity and insight in times when things become overwhelming. I am a mother, wife and business owner. Her calm and sensible approach helped me to understand the benefits of meditation and develop skills to include mindfulness into my everyday life. I never felt pressured to return, but did book multiple sessions as I was getting so much out of them.  A few years later, after having a child and as my business grew, I got mentally stuck around my leadership skills and my belief in my own ability. I again started seeing Arian, this time in a counselling/executive coaching capacity, to help me grow and develop as a person and leader. Through this process personal beliefs and thoughts that were not serving me came up, and Arian helped me to understand why they were there. I have grown so much and attribute much of that growth to the time spent with Arian and having a safe space to learn about myself. It is not easy to be vulnerable. Arian’s honesty and compassion, her ability to see things in a different light and the knowledge she has to to help you develop is why I have recommended Arian to family, friends and colleagues, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to you.
