The Light Up Place

Light Up is a combination of a suit of armour coupled with naked release. It enables me to protect myself against that which might hurt me, at the same time as allowing me to generate my true and unique inner self with confidence. To every question there is an answer in Light Up. To every complex and apparently unsolvable scenario of human interaction, Light Up has a simple solution … to help navigate life’s challenges. 

Ginny Davis, playwright, author and retired barrister

It has not only been a game changer in my personal life, it has completely altered my approach in my professional life. This has enabled me as a GP to get so much more out of my patient consultations. What makes me sad is that in this day and age we are too quick to medicate people’s lives. What I hope is that one day the NHS would embrace the DNA light up programme. It would be financially a no brainer as people would no longer be dependent on antidepressants, and it would bring more lights into the world.

Dr Fenella Powell, MBBS MRCGP

​​I was so happy and glad to be introduced to the Light Up programme. I had blocks that got in the way of having free performance as an actor. I was very conscious of my speech and my accent after finishing drama training. I was very unhappy. An actor who can’t speak is like a musician who can’t play an instrument. Light Up gave me simple effective tools to stay grounded, more positive, less in my head and most of all I started accepting myself. In my last audition I used the Light Up tools and got a positive result. Of course It is an ongoing process, but definitely it is easy to get back to the basics using Light Up tools. Thank you Light Up!

Gana Bayarsaikhan, actor (Waiting for the Barbarians, Intelligence)

Light Up encouraged me to really look and feel inside myself, to get me back in touch with my intuition, and to be in touch with myself so that I could take ‘action’ in my life, and not just ‘react’. The effect is wonderful. I’ve gone from being ‘stuck’ to moving forward in many areas of my life, and the changes started happening immediately.

Monique Siegenthaler, Certified Therapeutic Massage Practitioner

Light Up was filled with many laughs and also many revelations.
I now feel so much more confident in myself and I have already started to change my life for the better … with less procrastinating and more self belief and inner strength!

Lisa Hicks, Teacher

I was more than a little sceptical when looking into DNA Light Up and decided to give it a go anyway … and honestly, I am so very glad that I did! The Light Up course has helped me in so many different ways, from taking time to listen to my light and this giving me more confidence in making decisions, right through to tapping into the power of my imagination more and achieving some goals I had set for myself in the gym.

Ruth Haigh, NHS nurse

I needed something that would allow me to start finding me again (I was lost in a very dark place), and that didn’t work on logic or intellect but on a much deeper level, that could cut through the if what’s and buts and reach the being I’d lost. 
I did Light Up. I felt better … gradually I began to notice the birds singing, the sunlight, the hedgerows. I was snarling less, I stopped feeling disassociated from life around me and began to take baby steps back into the world and towards making a new life.

Lesley Long-Leather, Artist

The exercises were enjoyable and useful, allowing me to reconnect with my inner self. It is taking practice to unlearn some old habits but with continued support and guidance, I know I can do it!

Emma Hedge, primary school teacher and mum

Our leader arranged for the project management team to go through DNA Light Up. It was short, snappy and enjoyable. Afterwards the buzz we felt as a team, the excitement about our project and the challenges we would encounter was quite profound. Personally, I experienced such a confidence boost, I felt lit up inside, brave and resilient. “Bring on these challenges I thought – I’m ready and waiting”!

Helen Jackson-Lister, Deputy Head of Human Resources, Liberty Global

I’ve taken part in many courses with Mel in the past, and now she’s distilled the essence that runs through them all into a single life-changing experience. I would highly recommend it, particularly for professionals such as myself who struggle with work/life balance, and for those who are ‘always ON’ for their business.

Paul Emmines, Programme controller

Thanks to Light Up, the negative self talk has stopped and I have become more confident. Because of that I have a new sense of contentment in me – and my life has improved too.

Isis Eaton Watson, Teaching Assistant

It has been a very strange year or so! As a single person, living alone and working from home, you’d think spending more time with myself might be considered a real turn off. Instead … I found my light! Though my DNA journey may be just beginning, it’s a path I am eager and curious to continue to explore.

Amanda Trotman, Retired Police officer

My experience with the DNA Light Up process was extraordinary. It’s been a game changer in my life.

Jannion Hendricks, healing facilitator

After a stressful few years at work and some recent health issues, I’d gotten to a point where I felt ‘stuck’, not good enough, a lack of confidence and anxiety. I had always seen myself as a strong, resilient person who enjoyed life. So what had happened? I never thought DNA Light Up would have the effect it has had on me. It feels so simple and yet is so powerful! Thank you for helping me reignite my light and making me feel like a warrior again.

Jenny, Senior Clinical Commissioner in the NHS

I now have a method that allows me to go to an inner place to connect to that inner light and use the training to know how to make a decision in a way I have never been able to tap into before. Indecision has been an issue for me often and now I have a new way of feeling the truth of a decision and trusting it. This has been a powerful shift for me. It is a new and truly growing tool in my life. I feel that I can continue to use what I have learned and gain more from it.

Devorah Spilman, Soul Story Coach

My motivation for going through the DNA Light Up experience was past issues surrounding personal experiences and the continuous striving to meet the expectations of others that had led me to believe that I was losing myself. It’s a wonderful feeling to strip the layers down and connect with the person I have always been and yet not always identified with.  I’m now beaming bright and know I’ve got so much more to explore and experience and I’m beaming with curiosity.

Karen C. Knightley, full-time educator and carer for her son

I’ve learned lots of skills to improve my mindset and wellbeing, both personally and professionally, and really enjoyed experiencing the programme. Thanks so much!

Kayleigh Goodman, Microsoft Teams Trainer

I would highly recommend DNA Light Up to anyone wishing to explore their limiting belief system, negative self-talk or just looking for tools to prevent feelings of overwhelm and stress.

Nichola Hemming, Founder Women Empowering Women UK

I found DNA Light up at the perfect time. I had come a long way with my personal development but feelings of doubt had crept in and I felt at a bit of a crossroads about what to do next. DNA Light Up helped me to lean into my intuition and learn to trust it. It has helped me to silence the thousands of thoughts that sometimes race through my head and helped me to really focus on my gut instinct.

Ami Brodie, Mum, Primary School teacher, Health and Wellness coach

After the first Light Up session, I woke up the next morning with ideas flowing and things coming to me – it was just so incredibly powerful. The second session resparked and rekindled my actual actions in my business in a far more effective way, a much lighter way, which has increased my engagement and helped me see things very differently. Our last session was just so powerful – the realisations that came forward for me and the understanding that I haven’t been off track off these years! I really AM on track, and it gives me a framework to work so I can stay on track.

Janine Kathleen, Mindset Alchemist

What stood out for me with the Light Up programme was the unique bringing together of mind, body and spirit. Through a cross section of imagery, reflections and exercises the work is brought to life and immediately relatable to everyday goals and aspirations. A wonderful eclectic package of insightful principles that embraces and nurtures our inner light, and helps us to find the courage and authenticity to share it with the world.

Chris Partridge, Transpersonal therapist, psychic medium and author of ‘Wake Up – What Are Your Emotions Really Telling You?’

I am 20, from London, and studying at Bournemouth University. The three sessions I had were indescribable and I just couldn’t believe I didn’t know what I now know before. These techniques to use when I feel anxious or unhappy will stick with me for a lifetime. It really has changed the way I look at the world and I have never been happier. If only I knew this before!

Jessica Williams, Student

I found myself thinking about the course much more than I expected, and using the techniques without even thinking about it. The course was quick (great for us time pressured workers), and allowed extra time when needed on certain aspects. It really made me look at things differently for the first time in years. It helped me to unburden myself from the stresses of my job and restore some balance. I am now able to see my problems in their true light, as small problems, in the global scale of opportunity. This significantly takes the pressure off, and makes me evaluate my work/life balance.

Carolyne Rose, GP

DNA Light Up helped improve my clarity of thought, self confidence and assertiveness. The three sessions enabled me to defragment my brain, connect with my intuition and improve my self awareness.

Nick Roberts, Pre Sales Leader

Wow! What a lot came up in the three sessions. What was decisive was the natural way the program was explained to me and the surprises that came out in my language and my thought processes. I knew that I dimmed my light for those around me to shine theirs. What I loved were the simple techniques to help me protect myself and feel safe to shine my light.

Marjorie Grant | Master Goal Mapping Practitioner

I instantly felt happier, lighter and confident. Three days, three sessions with an amazing afterglow. It is simple, fast and immediate. The simplicity of the approach, combined with the easy tools I experienced, have put me back in charge of my own life. I have become more centred and resilient. I feel stronger and I have regained my confidence. The DNA Light Up experience gave me the space and tools to find back to my inner self – I feel freer. I have not looked back once.

Andrea Neu, Contracts & Commercial Manager in Tourism

The skills and support that Light Up has gifted to me has helped me conquer any challenge University has thrown at me. Before Light Up I was an introverted shy spirit who believed that I had to change who I was, change my personality, change my light, in order to be successful and connect with others. Now I know that isn’t true. Being just the way I am is enough and will always be enough. I now know how to make things work for me.

Katy Maplesden, Student

I didn’t realise how much I needed Light Up until I was about half way through.  Personally and professionally it has had an impact on what I say, what I write and even how I text and therefore it has impacted how I think.  I am learning to trust my intuition, which had become quieter with the general noise from day to day life. Although I was looking to gain tools that would support my professional life, the programme directed me to practise tools that support my whole life’s success.

Victoria Johnston, Associate Director at Frazer Jones

I certainly feel it has made a positive change to my life. It has left me feeling calmer and – yes – lighter! I feel it has given me the tools to deal with both disappointments and low times, and I feel less weighted down with the frustrations of life. I feel more positive, motivated, calmer and happier with my life.I certainly feel it has made a positive change to my life. It has left me feeling calmer and – yes – lighter!

Andy Wilding International golfer, retired

Light Up has helped me to find my inner light and it reminded me that I have the power to choose how I’m going to react in situations. I am a unique, powerful and beautiful individual and Light Up helps me in everyday situations.

Gabrielle D’Arienzo Primary School Teacher

Light Up has been SOUL TRANSFORMING. The journey has been so rewarding and challenging, in the most positive way. I’ve been able to really look within myself – something I haven’t been able to do successfully in the past without feelings of guilt, sadness and judgement. This time, as I looked within, I was able to look from a place of POWER, AMAZEMENT and FREEDOM. The new life tools I have will enable me to no longer give my power away. And I can now access better ways to be in tune with myself without having to overthink everything.

Yvonne Omini, Women’s Empowerment Coach, The Performance Partnership

Having at first been a bit sceptical, I can honestly say it blew me away – and changed me forever. I am now more relaxed, happier, I worry less, make sharper, better decisions, both personal and professional, and I have finally learnt to live in the moment, no longer chewing over the past or second guessing the future.

Gary Wright | Chief Operating Officer

Light Up has given me the tools I need to create a positive mindset and atmosphere around me. So that I can enjoy the little things in life, and if anything gets too daunting I am able to light up and always have a genuine smile on my face.

Charlotte Pagan, Student

Light Up is a wonderful programme, highly recommended. It really helps me navigate my world and my experience.

Jonathan Whitlow, actor, singer, dancer, musician and teacher

The Light Up process helped me click into some deep shifts and made it easier for me to navigate letting go of a lot of judgement and reconnecting with myself and my path. I found it made my days easier, just being me and doing what I love doing.

Kim A Page: Speaker, Trainer, Coach and author of The Right Kind of Loud

Light Up came at just the right time in my life, in my hour of need. It’s given me a springboard to project myself into a more confident, resilient, contented way of life. It’s helping me deal with life’s challenges with more of a sense of and a trust in my own ‘knowing’. Through this process I’ve learnt to re-connect with myself on a level I had begun to ignore. Life is full of curve balls to navigate but Light Up gives that clarity to believe in ourselves, something that is truly a special gift to cherish and believe in. Inner power is strength and peace.

Zoe Whitworth, designer

DNA Light Up is a refreshing and wildly different form of self-development in all ways. Most notably, because it focuses on the most valuable thing in the universe – You! It is a transformative experience that makes a recovery a discovery and any enlightenment is a relighting of the magnitude of power that we all hold inside us already! I have never experienced self-development with this much credibility, authenticity and authority before. Upon completion of the sessions, I had the confidence that my little light could reach wherever I choose to send it.

James Murphy Writer, tortured artist, kind person

Ever since Light Up, I have found a much deeper relationship to who I really am. The contact with her (me) has brought me from uncertainty, loneliness, fear, sadness and pain into knowing that my life is full, and I’m free to create it. I am a leader, I am powerful and there’s no stopping me. I’ve come to a place of fullness, and have given up an addiction to co-dependency that I’ve struggled with all my life.
Life is full of possibility now and I feel more in alignment with who I am than I have ever been.

Monica Dubay Spiritual healer and transformation leader

I loved the pragmatics Light Up gave me, the tools to get the best out of myself and those around me.

Nathan Evans,  writer, director, performer and musician

DNA Light Up has been life changing for me in a positive way.  I am feeling empowered, I have a sense of freedom and I have choices.  I feel light in spirit and I am smiling more. The techniques are straightforward and easy to remember.  I have tools now, at the ready, when I choose to use them. It is incredible to feel this change, this shift in such a short space of time. Light Up has helped me to find myself again, to remember who I am.  I am so excited about letting my light shine brightly again and to feel the joy that is me.

Karen Connell Business woman and Modern Languages teacher

Light Up has honestly changed everything for me. I started it quite skeptical and unsure, but the entire process has been nothing short of amazing – I seriously can’t recommend it enough. My whole outlook has changed, I have so much more confidence, certainty and trust in myself now. Light Up really is life-changing, especially for a young person who could really do with a little faith in themselves.

Phoebe Poole-Jones, Student

I can honestly say this has changed my life for the better. I feel like I am in control and content – FINALLY! This process has engaged me with my core, and that constant churning feeling has completely gone. I feel a lightness like I’ve never felt before, and it fills my world with so much light and joy. My mental well being has improved, I’m not shutting myself away anymore, I’m attaching myself to the unconditional love my friends and family have for me, and it’s making my light brighter each day. I have found my voice, my purpose, and most importantly, I now believe I am worthy of all of the love I have in my life, and that I am enough.

SK, Pharmacy technician

DNA Light-Up has equipped me with new tools to fight the negativity.

Gerod Harris Actor, singer and performer

So I’m not going to lie and say that my experience was the light bulb moment I thought it would be. It was when I practised what I had learnt that it all began to fall into place. Light Up has allowed me to remember things that I had so easily forgotten and that we must look past the BOLLOCKS that we are told each and every day.
I am a strong, thoughtful, loving and focused woman who is ready to conquer anything that is thrown at me.

Melissa

Personally I think every musician on the planet should go through this.

Emily Gorlin, Professional musician and chef extraordinaire

I’d been labelled severely depressed, lacked any belief in myself and had convinced myself that there was no way out. What Light Up showed me was so simple yet so profound. Very gently it became undeniable that I had a choice in everything that was happening. I now have the tools to manage my thoughts. Instead of a thought turning into a feeling that could cripple me for days, I now have a choice on how my day will be. I am not “fixed” because I was never “broken”. I had just lost my way. Letting go of the things that no longer serve a purpose, letting go of fear, and letting go of regret has freed up space for hope, optimism and joy.

Steven Rennie, entrepreneur

I’ve had crippling self doubt since I was at primary school. I’ve struggled with a lot in my head for longer than I can remember, and been through depression. Light Up is all so beautifully simple to do. I’m now unhooking the things and people that made me feel low in the past and not letting my brain and thoughts control me. I now feel focused, I believe in myself more as a musician, my creativity is flying. And as a person I feel so much more content.

Jamie Calder, musician and business owner

I never felt good enough, suffered from low self-esteem and confidence and when the only person in the world who had taught me what unconditional love is died, my mental health, purpose, motivation, inspiration and physical health died too.
Going through the (Light Up) process was easy, emotional, exciting, fun, and just blooming brilliant. I have gained wonderful tools and a deep love for myself that will last a lifetime. Through it I have become authentically me, empowered, aware and able to send the bollocks packing. I have achieved things now that I have previously avoided through extreme anxiety. Everyday is a step forward, every moment is valuable.

Vicky Clements, teacher

The obstacles I faced were me me me – my lack of self belief, self esteem, self confidence. I always believed I was not good enough and I wasn’t enough. I now say BOLLOCKS to any thoughts that try to get in my way and anyone who tries to get in my way. I have been on a journey of discovery and have truly found myself. Light Up went into the inner core of my obstacles and blocks and removed them, giving me the tools to help myself. I have had some deep blocks and this is why I wasn’t able to move forward in myself, my home life, my work life, and in my business. These blocks are now removed and it is onward and upwards. I feel happier in my own skin.

Sharon Sandhar Business woman

I am so grateful that I followed the nudge. My life is changing in ways I never even considered. If something in you is telling you to find out about Light Up, do it. You have nothing to lose and maybe, just like me, it will be possibly the best thing you ever do.

Sam Mandry Cashier

My meeting with the Light Up process couldn’t have been more powerful and timely. I was in desperate need of a kick-start into the presence and possibility of my life. I couldn’t hear myself, I needed a witness rather than the judgement of my own mind. She (my activator) ‘simply’ listened to me, listened to all the stuff I didn’t want to hear – and then reminded me, through the course of the process and techniques that Light Up uses, to drop the story, listen deeper, and follow the presence of Hara. From somewhere else came the power and presence of focus, and the energy of attention-to-task, reminding me I was and AM capable, as long as I maintain a truthful and loving self-practice.

Ella White Senior English Language Teacher

Before the Light Up process I struggled a lot with anxiety, stress and dealing with situations that put me under pressure. Now I feel happy and secure. I am able to complete day to day tasks with ease and feel accomplishment within my life. As a horse rider I use tools that I learned during my Light Up journey to bring the best out of my riding, which has made a huge difference with bringing on my youngster.
What I have learnt from Light Up is life changing. I will continue to grow and build myself through these techniques as well as pass on my new knowledge to others in need.

Lizzi Daniels Work Rider

Before I went through the DNA process, I was always worried about what other people thought and would often stop myself doing something in case someone thought I couldn’t or shouldn’t do it. After Light Up, I feel very differently about life. I’m less worried about what others think of me. All areas of my life have changed and I cannot recommend Light Up enough.

Becky Russell Fleet Marketing Coordinator

The best way I can describe it is that I FEEL different. To an outside observer, my external world has not changed much. But they would be wrong, because everything is different. I know that I have an unlimited  supply of abundance that will never run out. It’s not because of affirmations or “fake it till you make it” thoughts, but from connecting deeply to my Super Power – who I affectionately call Universe. Light Up took me on a voyage of discovery that I am still feeling the reverberations of today and will continue to do so. Who we truly are – we never lose it, it is always there, and through Light Up I just Re-membered. It’s not magic, but it sure feels magical!

Lia Cherian  Food writer and lawyer

I was not in a good place and wondered whether Light Up could help me. We got started with exercises and practical tuition. I could now sense the problems easing away from me as we practised techniques to turn the situation around, understand them and, very importantly, deal with them. I left feeling a load better and able to deal with things differently. My inner strength is now so strong. I will forever be grateful to DNA Light Up for turning me around and bringing life back to me, that’s how strongly I feel. For anyone going through personal trauma or unhappiness, this course will give you belief and a different outlook on the world.

Mike Richards Engineer and custom motorbike builder

My Light Up journey has been nothing short of amazing.  Going into it I must say I was a little sceptical but once we walked through the process those light bulb moments started to go off in my head. Thank you Light Up, for helping me to recognise how I was addressing myself and to take back control from the inside. It was a wonderful enjoyable process that has seen tangible benefits in my interactions in business, with clients and my close friends and family.

Neil Alderson Nutritionist and coach

Since I began my Light Up Journey, I’m a different person. I’m far more resilient to stresses around me. The most profound shift has been in reclaiming my personal power. I’m no longer fearful of it, and am enjoying living as my true authentic self. I now recognise the part I played around toxic people, and that playing small and shrinking so that others feel comfortable is no longer something I choose to do. Light Up has shown me the resilience was, and is, always within me – now I know how to harness this in a natural, easy and powerful way. I no longer give anyone anything to feed off, in fact any toxicity now bounces off, return to sender! The exercises were simple and profound, practical techniques that I now carry with me always in my personal power tool box – a different kind of power tool altogether!

Nic McClure Executive Producer – Radio, 23 years working in the Australian Radio industry

Light Up has truly transformed my life in weeks. I could never make decisions about my life before. I always felt less than, and was accepting situations I could choose not to be in. Once I connected with my inner self, I was instantly empowered to make a decision that I had been battling with for 8 years. I have faith today, as my gut feeling has told me all will be well.

Tomi Malcolm, social worker

Being an ex-copper of almost 20 years service, I’m a sceptical so and so. However, nothing could have prepared me for the fascinating and involving journey Light Up was going to take me on. I am incredibly grateful for what the DNA Light Up journey was able to give to me. I feel different. I can’t put my finger on it but I definitely feel entirely more positive and with a much better outlook than before I undertook the journey.

Ollie Burgess, Business Development Director at Superstar Bots

My work and life is about being there for others, and in all this I often forget to be there for myself. Light Up enabled me to stop and listen to myself. It reconnected me with my true self, and enabled me to let go of others’ expectations of me. One of my biggest obstacles was fear, a conditioned response, ingrained from my childhood. Light Up enabled me to confront my fears. My experience was magical and continues to be so as this, for me, is a lifelong process.

Ami, Founder and CEO of Fulfil Your Potential and Every Step Matters

In the final session I felt something had really changed, like a light switch being turned on. I had always felt dark inside; now there was light. The biggest change for me is my inner stability and peace. My true inner self, which was too afraid to speak up before, has suddenly found its voice. I feel connected, grounded and complete. The answers have always been inside me and I have found them. If ever there was a time to dare, to embark on something worth doing, it is now.

Geninne, Courier coordinator

I can honestly say Light Up was by far the most powerful personal journey I have ever embarked upon. I went into it sceptical about my own ability and power. I was a survivor of some poorly dealt cards but I never, ever realised the power within me. The exercises, activities and journey of Light Up enlightened me and helped me to find my innermost goddess. I am strong, powerful, wonderful and most of all FREE. Free from the labels of my past that held me back for nearly forty years. Free to achieve and to believe in me.

Danielle Downey, Certified Trauma Informed Coach

I’d say some of the biggest changes for me post Light Up are my inner stability and peace, both emotionally and mentally. Before, I had a tendency to think a lot about most things which created feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. Anxieties are triggered a lot less and lessening as time goes on. I am generally sleeping better and able to focus more throughout the day. I’ve also realised where some behaviours and habits of old had come from, which has enabled me to let go of and move on. At work, more focused and more me. Socially, more relaxed and more me. At home, able to relax quicker and stay relaxed. For the first time in a long time I feel more connected with me.

Michael, engineer

Nothing I’ve done was as powerful and quick as Light Up. I saw clearly what was causing all my anxiety, fear and low mood. I not only found my true self, I also accepted and appreciated myself for the first time in my life. I’ve become calmer, more assertive. I make decisions easily. I trust myself. I know myself. It’s also impacted my family, bringing me and my children closer and more connected (even the teens!)

Sonia Keats, coach and business owner

I think Light Up may have found a cure for M.E.! It has done more for me in 6 hours than 14 weeks going to a hospital clinic. I’d got myself into a bit of a rut where I couldn’t differentiate between the illness and a lack of motivation. I’ve found my motivation! I’ve found the light! I’m really excited to see what happens next.
Let’s make LU compulsory across British education! In fact across the world!

Chloe Louise, radio presenter and talk show host

I found the sessions very empowering. Then I realised after a few months that Light Up was having an enormous impact on me. I felt more patient in how I dealt with situations. I used to take things personally and get angry. With Light Up I found I just was able to handle these situations in a far better way. Having been in the police and suffered numerous traumas and having to leave early, I have carried quite a few experiences I wanted to push away. I truly believe Light Up has been wonderful for me and I think it would be wonderful for more ex-cops to have a go. Especially after retirement. I would thoroughly recommend this.

Neil Evans, retired police officer and co-founder Dot Com Children’s Foundation

It’s made me look at things more positively … I can analyse things differently, I’m more objective and it makes me feel a lot more confident.

Rachel Turley, National Co-ordinator, Children’s Charity

The best way I can describe my DNA Light Up experience is like a gentle tide of relief and calm washing over my very being; an absolute belief in myself and my authenticity and full knowledge that when I take the time to look, I have the answers already, there within me. I have rediscovered myself.

Nikki Alderson, (ex) barrister and Specialist Coach for female lawyers

In my past career I was a newsreader at Sky, ITV, BBC, and made documentaries for Channel 4. What people didn’t know was that I was the survivor of childhood abuse and violence. I have experienced lots of other forms of healing and therapies which have been helpful. The magical thing about Light Up is that, in that very short space of time, it has completely changed the way I think and feel about myself. I’m no longer afraid to be me – it put me in touch with the light that’s inside myself, with my own ability to create. I’ve been able to acknowledge the things that were said to me in my childhood – and I’ve been able to understand those things were not true and were not me. And I’m now able to be who I am.

Sharon Doughty, founder of Dot Com Digital

After finishing university and moving into the corporate world, I gradually found myself lost, frustrated and struggling to find the right path. And in the process losing part of my identity. Then I discovered Light Up. What an extraordinary experience!

It has enabled me to redefine the course of my life, allowed me to refocus, change my perspective and redefine my goals. I can now accept and cherish who I am in this moment, knowing and understanding that I have already got everything within me to succeed and light up the way for others. It is beautiful, simple and life changing.

Mamadou Wane, engineer and entrepreneur

I was on the brink of walking away from everything I loved and knew, when someone recommended Light Up. I thought – what have I got to lose? I was listened to, helped and consoled. And I realised what I truly hoped for deep inside: forgiveness and my family. I had spent eight months in pain and in one hour my Light Up coach made it all better. She showed me how to deal with the pain and move on, probably not even realising the life line she was giving me. My life now is better than it ever has been. I deal with things in different ways. Positive, happy and strong. I will be forever grateful for Light Up. My family is a family again, my kids are happy and I see a different side of life. 

Anonymous

Many fantastic moments happened during my Light Up and the impact that it’s had on the unique and precious relationship I have with my horse has been mind blowing. So many of the challenges I’ve faced in riding are beautifully mirrored in how I live my life and form relationships – unlocking one has unlocked the other. I realised that I’d totally lost sight of my ‘centre’ when I was in the saddle, and I was constantly focusing on what was WRONG! So I decided to see it as a dance – easy and fun, relaxed and flowing. Incredible things started to happen … Horses have the most amazing sixth sense – they’re gentle creatures with great powers of perception. They know how we are feeling and have a sensitivity and awareness that keeps them safe and happy. And now, after my Light Up, I feel I am a little closer to having that too.

Victoria Pritchard, actor, presenter, voice coach and passionate horse rider!

Light Up was a positive, fun and enlightening experience of self discovery that was amazingly simple and gave me tools to make positive changes to my mindset. It was the first time in a long time that I felt at peace and things started to click into place. I truly feel lighter, like a weight has lifted from my shoulders, and more balanced in my thoughts, which has helped me to feel calmer and stronger, together and connected. 

Helen Coleman, College Lecturer

I didn’t have a lightning bolt moment or sudden epiphany, yet I felt different, like my eyes had awakened and I could see all around me. Finally I was listening to me and not to my thoughts. My confidence has soared. I’m no longer on the diving board clinging on with my hands, eyes shut and telling myself I’m not ready. Instead I’m practising my forward triple pike somersault and diving in with finesse. One of the extra bonuses is how I’m affecting my close family and friends. When we light up, others really do see it and are riding the wave of light with me. I’ve had lots of comments about how glowing I am and it’s nothing to do with expensive face cream!​​
