Richard B’s Story
Alyssa’s work helped me to create a new kind of confidence and a more open-hearted and trusting vision for my life. It’s not easy working on oneself. However, with Alyssa’s guidance I have been able to focus on hard things with a gentler and more compassionate eye. Her intelligence and integral approach to healing have made a significant difference in my life.
Jordan F’s Story
I have generally prioritized other people’s needs over my own. Through this program, I’ve learned how to honour myself and to set appropriate boundaries. For years, I regularly felt overwhelmed by the busyness of my days, my racing thoughts, and feelings that felt difficult to be alone with. LTI helped me shift toward being more present and taught me how to be with and support myself, especially through discomfort. I don't turn to food or alcohol as quickly as I used to, and I'm less reactive and irritable with my partner. I’m more compassionate and understanding with myself, which previously seemed impossible. Overall, I feel freer.
Kim W’s Story
I’ve tried pretty much everything you can imagine to manage severe anxiety and depression. It all helped - to some extent. Therapy was useful in understanding, from an intellectual perspective, the things that triggered and held me back. And yet... I still had suicidal thoughts daily. I was in a place where I was confident I wouldn’t act on them. To the outside world I was functioning well, inside I struggled to keep it together and wondered if I was capable of true joy.
I was skeptical of the 7-week transformation claim - after all I’d been meditating for years. Yet, I trusted deeply in Alyssa.
Fast forward 7 weeks, and I can’t remember the last time I had a suicidal thought. By learning to access pain and trauma through my body, instead of my mind, I was able to process it in a way no amount of talk therapy was ever able to reach. I never imagined I’d have this kind of access to optimism, connection and intrinsic joy.
Linda S’s Story
I came into this course feeling that I was well aware of my limiting beliefs, but being aware of them, it turns out is not enough. Alyssa helped me understand the connection between those beliefs and an un-nurtured, unloved inner-self/inner child. Through reparenting, self-love and compassion I’m learning to reconnect with that child. It’s that connection that I now know will help me heal. This work has already had an impact on how I experience my migraines.
Ruth C’s Story
The biggest impact of the program for me is that I like myself better, and feel more connected to and part of something bigger. I’m more comfortable in my skin and making better choices for myself. The smile on my face is coming from a more authentic place, and I’m noticing how it’s resonating with others.
The course is a lifestyle change, a commitment to sitting in meditation every day, to being quiet, to tuning in and listening to your wisdom. Bumps in the road will continue to arise, but I’m confident I have the tools, community of people and access to my own wisdom to help me through.
Tracy S’s Story
I’ve shifted from an avid conversationalist to someone who values and craves stillness and quiet. I never imagined myself sitting for 40 minutes a day in meditation, but it’s become an essential component of my day. My practice is connecting me with who I am, what I need and how I want to show up for myself. It’s given me access to feelings in my body that I couldn’t previously feel. Being in this program has shown me my wounds through my body and guided me to a new kind of self-care.
I am committed to helping people find the right support. I will only accept people to the LTI program whom I feel confident I can help. Let’s talk about whether this program is right for you. I look forward to talking to you.
