Once on the plane my fear grew even more , but the lady sitting next to me (Shona) noticed my fear and began to speak to me in a calm and soothing manner.  Shona told me about exercises  I could do to help overcome my fear and as we talked I felt more and more relaxed and actually enjoying the flight.  On arriving at our destination I got off the plane feeling very confident and as we parted I thanked my new found friend for her help and determined to beat my phobia.   A few weeks later came my big test - flying to America, 8 hours in a plane!  It turned out to be a great experience.  My fear had gone and if I did feel any twinges I remembered what I had been told and they vanished.  The chance meeting with Shona laid my phobia to rest and flying has no more fears for me. Thanks again for everything. Teresa  Ryan Playing my first medal in July after about 8 rounds of golf this year. My handicap was 30 & I was cut to 24.4 in one round with a net 51, this was the result of listening to "Putt to Glory" twice. The main difference during this round was that my putting had improved dramatically from around 45 to 30 putts. I also won my division in the medal the following week playing within my buffer zone, maintaining my new handicap of 24.4 S Campbell I have been working with Shona for two years now. She is a perceptive and sensitive practitioner. She has a wealth of experience and the ability to just know what is needed at the time. She offers profound healing for her clients and I wholeheartedly recommend her. Clare Walters  Emotional Wellness coach, homoeopath and journey practitioner Throughout my journey to health my sessions with Shona have been my pearl. I found the Journey process to be very moving in terms of releasing deep and very profound behavioural & emotional patterns, enabling me to look and heal that which has brought me to my past state of health. The process is invaluable and has allowed me to achieve extraordinary results in all of my life. Shona as my Journey therapist has facilitated this process with her calm, understanding and extremely gifted manner. As well as being an extraordinary process, Shona is also an extraordinary human being.   Thank you for being my guiding light. Ann - Glasgow I did some Journey Work with Shona almost 2 years ago now and although I was rather sceptical at first, I just got the feeling that Shona knew her stuff and might be able to help me. I had met her on a Nutrition day at  Strathclyde Uni and although I had initially gone for nutrition advice, which I received from Shona and her colleague, I was encouraged by her to perhaps look at my life from another angle and that is when she introduced me to the Journeys technique. I met with Shona in Strathclyde park some weeks later and we began the process which looking back, in fact only took that one session to work through.  Although very emotional for me, it was a great success and I now treat what seemed to be an enormous issue in such a different way, that it has become an area of my life that no longer burdens and upsets me.  I don’t think I was aware of any great change for some time, but I now see that it has impacted greatly on my well- being. I would be happier to go in to more detail about the contents of my particular Journey if necessary, but in the meantime, I can honestly say that although I don’t fully understand the process from Shona’s side, I know that she has a huge capacity to help and change people’s lives in a way they’d never imagine possible. I would highly recommend Shona and the therapies she offers.  She has a lovely easy going manner which  puts you at easy instantly. Sheena - Edinburgh Shona worked with me when I was going through a very difficult time., she did some journey work with me and I felt as if I released a lot. I found it very freeing  emotionally.I really felt I was in a safe space & her compassion & relaxed way helped me enormously. Shona has special qualities she was a professional & non judgemental manner, a great listener, has a wonderful sense of humour and makes you feel special.  Janie - Cyprus  Shona's work as a Journey Therapist is gentle, caring and very thorough.  She is intuitive and will go to great lengths to ensure that her clients have a positive experience and gain all that they can from the experience of a Journey Process. I have had several Journeys with her and have always come away with blockages shifted and a greater freedom in my life.    Pamela - London After being involved with The Journey for several years and working with many different practitioners I have found Shona to be one of the best. Quietly confident, assertive and skilled she operates with integrity, clarity and is in tune with the best interest of the client at all times. I have found my journey experiences with Shona very freeing and liberating, both as a training practitioner and as a subject. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of undertaking some Journey processes.   Steve - Borders Shona had endless patience and was gently encouraging throughout. At one point during the session I got stuck. All I could see was blackness. It was suffocating. Shona gently and very reassuringly guided me through a visualisation which saw me open a door in the blackness. I did and the most amazingly bright white light flooded out and made the whole darkness disappear. This may seem rather trivial to you but I never forgot it. I felt after that session that my last remaining apprehension about death had vanished. The light is with me, always. Fascinating work! Cathie Grout - Helensburgh  I have worked now with Shona for several years both as  a Client and as a fellow practitioner in the personal development field. She is without doubt an exceptionally intuitive and highly skilled individual in this area. Her approach is incredibly subtle, yet powerful, and always respectful of the individual. She draws on extensive personal skills and wide ranging knowledge of  a variety of fear and trauma release techniques combined with all the knowledge and skill necessary to direct an individual on motivational and personal goal work. David Fleming - Gourock  DISCLAIMER Having known Shona over a number of years and worked with her in a therapy context, I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a Therapist and Coach.  Shona is a warm caring individual who works from a baseline of integrity. She is driven by values which empower her to seek the best outcome for the client.   If you haven’t worked with Shona yet, I suggest you get to know her, your life will be richer for the experience   G Walker- Paisley Shona is utterly professional, yet loving and kind as she guides you skilfully and with great experience and empathy through your journey so you emerge more whole, free and aware. I felt totally safe and respected throughout my journey(s) and feel as if I have stepped out of what kept me 'stuck' into new awareness , new perspectives and new ways of  being. Thank you Shona you make the world a better place, you certainly made my world happier and freer.
