What our clients say:
My experience with Wayne has been one where he has sat in the darkness with me from a place of observation.
The space Wayne has created for me is a space where no thought needs to go left unsaid, no darkness is too dark, and no experience spoken out lacks validation. My journey with Wayne has been one that broadened and continues to broaden my perspective on the reality that I can learn something new about myself every single day. In the process of learning new things about myself I realize there are growing pains that go hand and hand with receiving new information from the universe. Wayne has a gift at facilitating any individual who is receiving new information and feels overwhelmed with this information. If you are interested in bringing your own personal darkness to the light and having it understood from a place where judgement is non existent I recommend connecting with Wayne.
Joe.
I have been meeting Wayne for 12 months and have made more progress in that time than 10+ years of traditional talk therapy. Wayne will challenge you with alternative perspectives and encourage you to view life content in various contexts. He utilizes his knowledge of community facilitation techniques, combined with life experience, to push you to the brink of your comfort zone. It is up to you to step across that boundary, and into a more grounded awareness of self. I would highly recommend Wayne's services to anyone with interest in their own personal development.
