Science Sound Mindfulness Programme – My son was instantly attentive at the sessions and keen to return

My son recently attended the science sound mindfulness programme with Diane at his own request.  He is 11 years old, has a diagnosis of Aspergers and was feeling very low about life in general. Diane was very welcoming and provided a fantastic peaceful and calm environment for the sessions. My son who is often less than enthusiastic about attending anything, was instantly attentive at the sessions and very keen to return to continue the programme. The sessions highlighted to him how his brain works, how his emotions affect not only himself but also raised an awareness of how they affect others too. He learnt invaluable meditation skills and how to self-soothe himself. Each session had a theme, with a mixture of meditation, sound therapy and relaxation time. The highlight and most relaxing part of the sessions was using the tuning forks, which for my son were also a novelty and lots of fun. Having completed the programme, I would highly recommend Diane as a therapist. She is very understanding, very patient and very knowledgeable. The skills my son (and me as his mother) have learnt are now proving invaluable. My son has particularly benefited from the sessions by learning how to better control his emotions and become a happier young man.
