TESTIMONIALS


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.
Karen McCoy 
Former Director of Alumni Relations - Melbourne Business School
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.

Associate Director of an International Financial Institution

Arian's ability to communicate the simplicity of meditation makes it accessible to anyone, anywhere. Her voice is so silky, smooth and meditative, that I am brought into a calm meditative state immediately. Arian not only walks her talk, she appears to embody the essence of meditation. Thank you for your healing words of wisdom and practice.

A really generous, intuitive, dedicated program recognising wisdom realities but without the subjugation of self. Encourages exploration and discovery for the self. Thanks Arian, you are a truly warm and wonderful spirit.
Rob Williams

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.
Nicola Lynch

Arian has a wonderful presence, a soothing and nurturing voice and I found the training to be most enlightening and enjoyable.
Andi Pert
Facilitator and Executive Coach - LIFE/NRG
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!
Christie Pintos
Life and Business Coach - Clear Horizons Coaching

I didn't know what to expect and it was just so refreshing to be involved in a course that was practical, with an instructor who not only spoke with great experience, but also has an appreciation for the real world and real life experiences without judgement. Thank you so much Arian, a really positive experience. 
Pippa Mcnaughton-Smith

The workshop was very well presented, great interaction with lots of different options for everyone.
I especially liked the flexible approach to meditation without the dogma. Just wonderful.
John Glossop
Director - Glossop Town Planning

I would recommend this meditation course to anybody that is interested in learning more about themselves and life. It suits any lifestyle, is flexible and will make a difference. I would love my friends and family to also receive the benefits as I have.
Lisa Mantella
Senior Account Manager - Optus

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.

Executive - Victorian Government
Arian really makes meditation relevant to the 21st century workplace with a balance of theory and practical training that is helpful and, effective daily meditation techniques that work. 
Helen Glouftis
Nurse - DCH Health

Arian uses her very own experiences and opionions of meditation that encourage us to stay the individuals we are; not imitate traditional meditation theories and practices. It's the best way though to our own self-discovery and self-awareness. With Arian it's like discovering a new part of your brain to play with and explore; there's no reason for anybody not to do her training.
