I have learnt and gained so much from the coaching Matt gave it is difficult to summarise it, but in the last couple of months I have felt more awake again, I have begun enjoying things I used to enjoy, I have space in my mind for others and I have energy that I had lost to be able to do anything other than ‘auto pilot’. Thank you so much.
