During my time learning the art of meditation with Arian I have received
a great deal of fulfilment and enjoyment from my meditation sessions. Arian has been able to
teach me many different applications in which to employ meditation, be it my business, travelling
in all types of traffic conditions, at home after work, preparation prior to sporting events, and
during the course of those sporting events, and generally being able to relax during very busy
times. Arian is enthusiastic, believes deeply in her teaching, and has been of great benefit to
me. I am certain others will find her as helpful and skilful in passing on her gift of
teaching meditation.

During my time at The Australian Ballet I learnt to
meditate. It made a significant difference to my professional and personal life. I was
able to utilise the meditation techniques I was taught throughout my work life at the ballet.
Meditation helped my concentration, increased my energy and be more relaxed, especially with the
shorter meditations throughout my working day. Meditation is now, and will always be, a most
important part of my professional and personal life.

Having had a baby 10 months ago and returning full time to a corporate
executive role, my meditation practice fell by the wayside. Arian's training program helped
me reconnect with everything I love about meditation (which incidentally helped me through an 18
hour labour, without drugs). I also learnt new ways of 'keeping it real' by building short
meditations into daily life, without having to find a quiet 20 minutes, which is often not
possible. Short moments of peaceful focus during a hectic day help me to avoid stress
build-up, be more productive and be present for my baby and husband when I get home. I have
more energy and I feel like I am actually 'living in the moment' as opposed to 'doing a whole
heap of tasks.' I highly recommend the trainings with Arian to both experienced
and inexperienced meditators, who are looking for ways to create balance and a more peaceful
life.

What a fantastic way to step back from and into life. Learning how
to relax quickly, being able to practice anywhere with the shorter meditations, learning to slow
down my thinking and help clear my mind, to appreciating the insights from other course
participants. This was a good format for it being my first time practicing meditation - a
very good introduction. I truly enjoyed the experience.

I believe Arian's training programs improve the quality of the lives
of most people who whole heartedly participate. She is a person of wisdom and integrity. My
capacity to relax has increased my appreciation for the beauty around me and, I feel more
connected to people.

I have found the career and life skills Arian has taught me, profoundly
helpful in managing the challenges my role as a stockbroker presents me. Over
several years I have developed stress management skills through the training of Arian, this has
enabled me to deal with the inherent stresses and demands of trading for my clients. This
was made particularly evident during the recent January market correction; where my stress levels
increased. I was able to manage this stress with what I learned, which enabled me to
provide a better level of service to my clients, reduce errors dramatically and enabled me to
maintain a higher level of personal health. I believe the training offered by Arian is
highly beneficial and appropriate to employees at all levels.

There is no question that pressure, and the attendant stress that it
brings, is a day to day part of our industry, where a hectic day is the norm. Equipping
people with the means to help cope with that stress and to be able to give your mind a break from
the noise of office concerns can only be beneficial to both the person and the business. It
took a long time for me 'to get around' to exploring meditation and, I am certainly pleased that
I did: it's a great way to relax when things are normal, let alone when things are as crazy as
they have been recently. Arian's simple, practical and effective techniques are very
well taught and can be adopted, embraced and utilised by even the harshest, time poor
sceptic. I am happy to recommend Arian's training programs to anyone because they
work.
James Weir
Associate Director of an International Financial Institution |
I found Arian's meditation training saved me from my anxiety
and insomnia. I am focused more on the present. The training made me realise how I
used to operate daily, but now I am so much more available to myself and
others.

Arian, well done. Your training course was simply fantastic. Thank
you for your passion and wisdom. We were all sad it had come to an end. I especially
enjoyed the way you structured the course to cater for the 21st century; not the 19th century
traditional teaching methods. Also loved your easy going, calm, nourishing, nothing is too
much trouble nature.

I can highly recommend Arian's meditation training for anyone
wanting to go a bit deeper into their lives to achieve any goal and to understand the value of
'smelling the roses.'

Having attended meditation training with Arian, I found the
methods learnt extremely beneficial in managing day to day stresses. She taught a
variety of techniques, and it was up to each individual to choose the ones which felt the most
appropriate. I most certainly have been using some of those same techniques taught in later
months - I am a Private Client Advisor with a leading International Financial
Institution and have found market conditions very testing of late. Without a doubt, I
would highly recommend Arian as a teacher/trainer and, think that the meditation techniques
taught do greatly benefit any participant working in extremely busy corporate
roles.

If someone said to me I would be meditating – again, I would never
have believed it.
7 years ago I left a spiritual teacher who burnt me pretty badly; let’s just say I left not knowing
who I was. Arian keeps pressing home the need to trust myself, to trust my body, my personal
nature, my instincts, my integrity; because that’s where the meditation is, that’s where life
is.
The healing has begun.

Thank you for breaking down meditation to the very basics and taking away
the spiritual snobbery often found in these types of courses. Such a fantastic experience
and put together so well.

Arian has a wonderful presence, a soothing and nurturing voice and I
found the training to be most enlightening and enjoyable.

My misconceptions about meditation being uncomfortable, long and boring
have been completely dispelled. I now find myself meditating regularly and really enjoying it. I
am much more in touch with myself than I have ever been before. Thank you so
much!

A wonderful experience in getting to learn the benefits of correct
breathing. What was most useful was learning your relaxation techniques and increasing my self
awareness. The whole presentation was excellent, clear and concise. Thank
you.

Life can unfurl in the most
unexpected ways. Our 6 week's of training with Arian was a discovery of many elements:
unwinding after a busy day, discovering challenging thoughts from past and present, a beautiful
stillness of the mind and a unique and unexpected self journey. I would recommend this 6 week
course. Arian was always well prepared, professional, fun and able to find a great balance in
her teaching style between the East and West. If I could bottle my favourite meditation and
share it I wouldn't need to write a word. So try it, you may not come out a Buddhist monk or
nun, but you will gain some great skills to practice in your life.

Arian has been seeing me as client since early 2003 and I could not speak
more highly of her service. She has been exceptionally committed to assisting me in
maintaining my health and wellbeing through her meditation sessions. I now consider her sessions
as an essential part of my life. Meditating has enhanced my mental wellbeing enormously and
encouraged me to further pursue this in my personal time.
We constantly talk about ongoing issues and how meditation can assist; refocusing and reviewing
techniques and best practise to relax the body and calm the mind. I highly recommend Arian without
hesitation.
Michael Aladjem
Stockbroker for an International Financial Institution |
I have been lucky enough to have Arian as a personal meditation
teacher. Arian comes to my house on a weekly basis and we spend an hour talking and
meditating. I enjoy the fact that Arian tailors the sessions to suit my needs. We
start the session with a brief catch up, talking about the hurly burly of the week, any issues
that have been preventing me from living moment-to-moment to the greatest extent possible.
Arian then leads me through a 45 minute meditation session that leaves me feeling refreshed and
invigorated. Arian is a very perceptive and understanding teacher. I would highly
recommend Arian's services to anyone who is seeking greater peace of mind and self
awareness.

In writing this testimonial I am forever grateful that Arian has brought our
family closer together. Not only has it improved our stress levels, it has changed the way
we communicate within the family. Even the dog seems less neurotic! The bonding
particularly between my husband and our son is remarkable, they actually meditate together most
evenings.
Arian’s ability to soothe our lives is indeed an inherent gift. Thank you so
much.

Arian’s meditation coaching works because she really listens to you.
I was desperate. My depression got worst when I separated from my husband. Then someone
suggested I see Arian for stress management; that was 6 months ago. Since then, I have discovered
so much about myself. I now feel so alive! I have a new job, my well being is the best it’s
been in years and I feel so much more connected to myself and the world.
Arian has taught me gratitude with attitude and for that I am eternally
grateful.
