Testimonials
“I first started using John to improve my fitness. During this time we also started some coaching and teaching me about mindfulness. I found that mindfulness was truly amazing and really helped me to handle long and stressful days at work. Then out of the blue while on my honeymoon a was struck down by a virus which resulted in near total heart failure. I went from being super fit to then having six heart attacks and being on life support. This was the starting point of a year living in hospital waiting for a heart transplant and fighting for life. John found out what had happened and visited me frequently in hospital. John helped me teach myself how to cope with the situation use mediation to calm my thoughts and relax. Its true that you can't stop the thoughts that you have but you can control how you react to them. I learnt that in a situation when I had no control if you control your thoughts you can be calm, logical and relaxed. After the transplant we continued the coaching to help me transition to my new life. I have taken all my experiences and the tools John taught me to make me stronger and more thoughtful. After the transplant John continues to train me. John had no problems with supporting me and unbelievably got me back running! Mindfulness is very powerful for helping you deal more effectively with stress, anxiety and depression. Whatever your goals John can help and support you”.

"John has done so much for me during the coaching sessions. He is flexible because he does sessions over the phone or via Skype as well as on a one to one basis. I am extremely grateful to John as he has contributed greatly in improving my relationships with others. He helped me see what was behind other people's behaviour and why they act as they do. He helped me to understand the motivation for my own responses towards others and gave me new perspectives so that now I have alternative ways to look at a situation. Now I treat people with more compassion and goodwill. Besides this, we spoke together about lots of practical issues, things I need to do but never seem to have time or inclination to tackle. With John's guidancestudy goals are met, my home is decluttered and so is my life. Thank you very much John "

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank John Lingley for the wellbeing day that he provided for us here at S Three. It consisted of him providing 1:1 coaching sessions in the areas of fitness training, nutrition, weight management, goal setting and stress management.
The sessions were very well received by our staff and surveys carried out on the effectiveness of the sessions resulted in most of the participants feeling motivated to make changes to their lifestyle.
John also provided an interactive workshop for 12 members of staff on stress management, which included coping strategies, self responsibility, flexible thinking, self acceptance and visualisation techniques.
The workshop was also well received and handouts were given with coping strategies for the staff to use if feeling stressed. Also John explained to us how to change our thinking so as to be more effective at how we react to stressful situations when they present themselves.
I would recommend John’s wellbeing workshop days to other companies and individuals as I feel that the service provided is of a high professional standard and is very beneficial for the health and wellbeing of employees."

John, your kind patient approach to my situation has really paid dividends. You guided me to understand why I act as I do and how this impacts on others. The relationship I have with my children is now so much better. We are at a point I never thought I would reach. Thank you

I have been having mindfulness coaching sessions with John for some time now. His enthusiasm comes over loud and clear. I think people are afraid to experience such coaching believing there is something wrong with them. On the contrary I have been doing coaching in conjunction with exercise for some time and I am much more in control of my actions and thoughts. It is a great technique for helping you to manage your stress and give you a more positive outlook, therefore removing the barriers to do the best that you can do in whatever you do.

"John has coached me in mindfulness for over a year now and I have found it enormously helpful in all aspects of my life. With John’s expert and non-judgemental guidance, I have learned how to increase my level of awareness and to stand-back from situations in a much better way than I ever could before. This is turn has helped reduce my stress levels and take a more holistic view of life. It’s had all sorts of knock-on benefits, especially at work. John is a wise-counsel, and if you are facing a difficult situation, or you just want to learn how to take a more of a relaxed approach to things, then I would highly recommend John to you."
