Workshops

I made new friends. It’s fun doing all the activities. I really enjoyed the massage.  I enjoyed the football outside. When you think and listen to the music you get relaxed. At school you do work and here you do activities which I enjoy. In the workshop you learn more things like massage and how to relax properly. It helps you to take your fears away. You learn ways of calming down. I’ve learnt how to think positively.

In the Healing Feeling club, I enjoyed the massage and breathing, making the stress balls, and playing games.  I’d say it is about finding different ways of relieving your stress.  It’s fun because you play different kinds of games and make different things.  In the Healing Feeling 4 Kids, what I learnt was that you could change negative thoughts into positive thoughts.

I enjoyed making the stress balls and doing the mirror work.  It helps you to relax and takes your worries out.  I tried the relaxation at home and did what the ‘creature’ told me to…I played snakes and ladders with my brother and now he’s stopped hitting me.

I enjoyed the Healing Feeling because it teaches you different ways of relieving stress and anger.  You learn different kinds of massage.
I like it because it teaches you how to calm your temper, to relieve stress and how to relieve worries.

In the Healing Feeling  club, I learnt that if you write a letter your anger would go away.  I enjoyed making the stress ball.  It’s fun and it teaches how to massage others.

My daughter aged 8 suffered from her first panic attack which filled her with fear. She started work with Usha, and the trust between them both became apparent very quickly. My shy, unconfident, fearful daughter began to grow spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I am eternally grateful for Usha. I would recommend this work to any parent who has the same problems in their child.  It has changed my daughter in so many other positive ways where we now have time for fun things and we’re all enjoying the benefits of The Healing Feeling. Thank you Usha, you truly are a star.

Jordan got a great deal out of the ten week course we did with Usha and other mums and kids. Following this, his individual work with her has given him further strategies for when he is anxious and thinking negatively about himself and situations. Most importantly, Jordan has been able to benefit from the relationship he has with Usha, which has meant that everything they have explored together has had meaning for him. He has been able to process deeply painful experiences and has grown in confidence in himself. I know that he will always remember his sessions because he felt totally accepted, valued and supported in his growth, as well as having fun along the way. Thank you.

Alex is a more confident and positive child.  He now has a range of new strategies to help him deal with the ups and downs of modern day life.

My child is less stressed and more relaxed.  She is more confident in talking to me – more open about things.  This course is a worthwhile investment.  In the parent session I felt connected and shared something worthwhile.

She has become more relaxed and can control her anger better as she is usually quick to anger.  She feels better about herself and her height issues.  I would say that this course is a very small price to pay for your child’s happiness and teaches them valuable lessons they can use throughout their lives.  I got to understand how she reacts and interacts with others and how she feels about herself. Bring the classes into schools so that more children can benefit from this life changing course. (Sister attended the Summer 2007 workshop)

At the beginning of the year we were at the end of our tether as our son’s bullying at school had reached a crescendo and it seemed like everywhere we turned, no one wanted to help. He was steadily going downhill and we were beside ourselves with worry and felt so helpless – we wanted our boy back.  Then he began his sessions with Usha and the progress began and then steadily improved and I as his parent learnt so much about myself. He is now so much more confident and we truly feel that we have our child back and can’t thank you enough!  Parents and kids in this situation need a “pocket Usha” that they can call on whenever they need to – thank you 🙂

He’s become more open to talking about how he feels to me, more than usual.  The workshop has helped me observe T without him knowing – he is much more calm and relaxed.  What I would say to other parents is that their children will love the experience of connecting to other children and not being alone in their worries.

(4 months later), this parent wrote to me and gave me a synopsis of a conversation she had with T..”It’s been four months since you did the summer workshop, do you think it has been a benefit to you?

His answer was immediate…
T “Oh yes, I’m much more relaxed and I don’t get anxious anymore”
Parent “Could you give me an example of a time when you noticed the difference?”
