Recently I met a friend whom I had not seen for years, she was so taken aback and astonished at the difference in me. Previously she had known me as an individual who was physically disabled, stressed out, emotionally unstable and trying to survive, playing and being a victim of my own circumstances. I shared with her about the work I have been doing for a number of years with Moira Darling, who facilitates individual sessions, retreat workshops and an online community called Start Strong Stay Strong. This work has transformed my entire life, the continuity of love and support given unconditionally enabled me to move through a very dark place of suffering into a healthier, more peaceful and meaningful life, for which I am deeply grateful for. My own experience continues with this work, and if you are suffering on any level please know there is always a way through it.

Moira's deeply caring and honest methods support healing and change in a sustainable way. Moira has helped me through difficult times in my life, and has supported and encouraged me towards my goals and some of the best. Having her support and guidance has been invaluable. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a holistic, long term approach.​

It sounds trite - but words really do fail me. If you are out there looking for answers - you would have to come away from this retreat enriched.

My journey to more wholeness started in your workshops.

5 years ago, I was stuck in an unhealthy situation and very attached to a lot of drama, and stories, about what I thought was yet another relationship gone bad. I reached out to Moira, and learned that it wasn’t this unhealthy situation that was the problem. Moira said: “We believe what we want to believe if it fits with our desires” and that was me - I believed I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t worth it, I didn’t deserve to be loved by anyone else, including myself. The light when on, and my life changed forever.

There seems to be one single, common issue that is at the very root of all our issues . It's LOVE, and particularly SELF LOVE. It is the ROOT of everything else, and finding it within ourselves is the answer. Moira helped me uncover this truth.
I have learned in the work to love and honour myself that there is no quick fix. Knowing is not enough. But without knowing, we cannot begin this journey.

I have met and have become close to the most wonderful people since I have started this work.
From someone who never trusted , who always minimized and made herself invisible, who was afraid of being rejected, I now feel safe and supported. This has helped me in ways I could never imagine.

Coming together with like-minded people has been very important for me - Not just because we’re all on the journey – even though we are - but because we share a common destination – a peaceful, safe, liberating, happy place…… and we can and will get there.

Moira has been the conductor on this journey. And because of her work, there have been many drivers along the way, and that has made the difference. It has made is so okay for me to accept who I am, where I have come from, and what I need to do to honour myself, and love myself and then others…not from a place of need, or fear, or pain, or power, but from a place of connection, strength, wisdom and peace. For that, I remain eternally grateful for Moira.

Thank you for one of the most amazing weeks of my life!!!

We are all on our own journey of growth and personal development - we could not do it without your guidance, your love and your willingness to share your soul with us. Thank you! Sending you much love.

Moira thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for giving me the courage and strength to help me along my healing journey. I really don’t think I could have done it without your guidance and strength. Thank you!

Words cannot express my thanks to you for helping me get to know myself again Moira. It truly has been an experience that I will be forever grateful for. You have an absolute gift and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with me.

Thanks for your help. I feel stronger and trust my own wisdom more than I ever have in my whole life. If anyone wants to truly step not their own truth and power but needs some help shedding the years and layers of pain, restricting beliefs and patterns, your workshops can be a catalyst to their healing and growing.
