"Under Moyra’s calm guidance, I’ve experienced several 'light bulb' moments over the past 6 months and gained a deeper understanding of myself and old negative behaviour patterns. The wonderful effect of this has been a new sense of peace and quiet, allowing me to deal with family members and relationships with an emotional maturity I didn’t previously think I possessed. I’m very grateful for the shift! When the student is ready, the teacher comes…” — Client
“I had the incredible privilege of working with Moyra MacIntosh when I was dealing with the death of my mother. She gave me expert counsel, directed me to excellent reading materials and most of all listened empathetically and intelligently as I processed my emotions. She is an exceptional person with an extraordinary skill set and I left every session having learned something more about dealing with the messy business of being human" — Client
