What our clients say

I am the Caregivers ERG co-chair at Unity and wanted to support our community to better manage their stress. I reached out to Bernie as I know she’s an expert in this area, we spoke about the organisation, the ERG, the community and people I wanted to support. She delivered a wonderful session for our members (that I still hear people referring to months later). She was empathetic, professional and approachable, backed up the learnings with evidence and science and gave the group a new perspective. We all came away not only with understanding and knowledge but also with a toolkit that we could use when life gets stressful. I can’t recommend Bernie enough. She is hugely knowledgeable about stress and the impact it can have on all of us. I have learned a lot from her and judging from the feedback we had from the session, so did the whole group. I won’t hesitate to use her services again.

Dr Bernadette Dancy is a natural educator and her knowledge and passion for stress management truly shines through in her talks and coaching. Her enthusiasm about the topic of stress inspired my own foray into how it relates to neurodivergents. Bernie’s dedication to providing a person centred approach in all her work is commendable, and will revolutionise our understanding of how to create a life well lived by being truly present in our mind, body, and spirit. If you’ve a chance to attend any of her sessions, I’d highly recommend you do, you’ll leave it wiser and changed for the better.
