Tania says goodbye at the end of her Change Holiday in Chiang Mai.

Tania says goodbye at the end of her Change Holiday in Chiang Mai.

I found the Womens Life Change Holiday to be a surprisingly gentle counselling process, and immensely rewarding. I wouldn’t have believed that we could sort out so much in such a little time, and it didn’t feel rushed. Son is lovely to be with during tours and excursions, an absolute gem, the market food tasting tour is an absolute winner. I’m looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks to all.

Thank’s you to all of you. A wonderful counseling retreat. I would recommend the Puripunn to any solo traveller, it’s just right. This is the starting point of my new life.

"My Change Holiday in Chiang Mai restarted my life" Michael H.

"My Change Holiday in Chiang Mai restarted my life" Michael H.

I am probably the first person to be sent here by their wife! I feel that my progress has been swift and incredibly successful, my sense of achievement is great and I can only thank my wife for sending me to allow me to achieve these goals. I have avoided the biggest mid-life crisis. I am looking forward to the continued online-counselling support on my return, to complete my Life Change and finally move on.

Thanks to all of you.

The Baan Deva Montra Retreat Resort is fantastic! Service, help, friendliness, food and facilities. The environment is perfect and it has a very healing and restful feel.

It was great that you could be flexible on what we were interested in and being able to go to the temples with Son was fantastic- he is a great guide and fun to be with.

The personality profile feedback report was illuminating and spot on. I was surprised by parts, but it also came out really well in identifying issues for me. It was also clear that this would be practical – about identifying the reasons for blocks to change.

I couldn’t speak more highly of Chrissy. She spent much more time than I could have hoped for in “therapy” sessions with me, letting me talk but asking gems of questions that got to the crux of the matter and were illuminating. I felt able to see chinks of light and she helped me open doors without fear, at the time and pace appropriate for me. The Life Change People genuinely care about all the people that they work with. I thought there was an excellent mix of therapy and practical planning, and that it also touched on long term issues from my history / childhood, but very quickly acknowledged and moved on from these, which was exactly what I wanted.It is a perfect counselling retreat in Thailand.

The tools and techniques we used were one of the best bits- the blocks to change, and “walking around” negative or other self beliefs. Much of these were things that I had felt for a long, long time and never begun to query. I can now honestly say I do not believe them any more, and that I can’t think of a single negative self belief I have left! I also feel that I have a range of tools to help me think through things. Being more mindful of what I am feeling, and trying to manage and be realistic about mid life depression, mid-life crisis and emotions, were some of the really big points for me.

Before I came , I was a complete mess and all over the place (for want of better terms!) I had no idea what was going on for me, why, how to get out of that way of being and thought it was just me. But I felt that I had to try to make progress.

Over the course of the retreat, I hoped to get some clarity over the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling, to get a better sense of my self and what I want and need, to try to make sense of my relationship issues, and start thinking about my life. Overall, I wanted to see if the issues I was feeling were “just” a temporary response to recent issues or if they had longer term basis, and wanted to work out what next. I have done all of that, and more.

I have experienced rather a lot of difficult things since my return home and I feel fundamentally that I am ok, and am far from being a nervous wreck that I was before I came.

Thank you again for everything.

The Elephant Nature Park is amazing. Doi Suthep Temple was interesting and Son was brilliant, he really made it great with his knowledge. I really enjoyed working with Chrissy, she really “got me”, was hugely supportive and spot on. Thank you to Chrissy, Alex and Son for making this such a memorable experience. Far more than the Solo Travel Womens Holiday that I was expecting . I wish you every success and think it’s brilliant. You’ll be a great help to many people – it certainly was life changing for me.Looking forward to the online-counselling support when I get home.

See you in Africa!!. Sarah.

If you ever get stuck and don’t know where to turn, treat yourself to a Life Change Holiday. It’s  incredible and allows you to see a way forward despite yourself. Having my own personal guide on excursions was also pure luxury and Son is the most charming, helpful and never tiring company. Doing this course in the most beautiful surroundings has given me the peace of mind I was so desperately seeking when I arrived. I’m looking forward to next year when I’m coming back for my refresher course.

Thank you.

This has been a wonderful week. It was much much better than I dared believe it would be. Chrissy and her silver sandals was a good omen. I am not scared of my feelings and my depression any more despite being the highest you can get on the personality analysis. This is a holiday that can seriously change your life.

The Ratchamankha is the best hotel, Paul the manager is great, its a fantastic city oasis. I’ll never forget the trip through the mountain to the elephant park, thank you Son, the best guide in the world. Will keep in touch, and see you all again.

I felt stuck, I had a number of really difficult situations going on.  I wanted to change but didn’t know how. It sounds amazing in such a short time, but in daily sessions, during my change holiday, I learnt so much about myself and what was preventing me from changing. When we came to work on my Change Plan I felt ready to really apply myself to fulfilling my biggest ambition. I can’t believe it’s actually working.

 The online counselling and E Therapy afterwards was so important to me, it gave me the strength to keep going forwards. I really believe I can make this work.

Thank you so much.
