“When Cilla first suggested I try the head-to-heart process, something inside me knew I was ready, even though I couldn’t fully explain why. She saw something in me that I couldn’t yet see in myself – and that intuition of hers was spot on.
After decades of numbing myself and pushing down my feelings, I’ve finally learned how to actually feel again. Through this process, I’ve gained incredible awareness and clarity about my emotional wounds – wounds I didn’t even know were there. The transformation has been nothing short of amazing.
What makes their approach so powerful is that it doesn’t let you hide from yourself. You simply cannot lie or make excuses – the process demands complete honesty, and that’s a big reason why it works. It’s challenging, but Cilla and Steve are two of the kindest, most dedicated people you’ll ever meet. They are patient and compassionate with you while guiding you through the tough moments.
The results speak for themselves. I used to suffer from anxiety attacks, but they’re gone now. I’m talking more openly, sharing parts of myself that I used to keep locked away. I have developed a whole new level of awareness about my thoughts, and importantly, I can now actually notice how my body reacts to my emotions – something I was previously completely disconnected from.
If you’re on the fence about doing this work, all I can say is: trust the process. Trust Cilla and Steve. And most of all, trust yourself. You’re more ready than you think.” – Anthony Bethell
“I have learnt a lot about myself through this, which will help mould my future self. It was wonderful and much-needed. Cilla and Steve could not do enough. It was a lovely experience.” – Suzanne Macaree
“I had no idea how much clarity this would bring. For years, I struggled with unhealthy patterns due to unresolved childhood issues. This helped me understand those patterns and develop healthier habits in my life. I feel lighter and more empowered than ever before.” – Jacqui O’Connell
“For most of my life, I carried deep wounds from being taken advantage of – in relationships, at work, everywhere. I’d become the person who couldn’t say no, who gave until there was nothing left, always putting others first at my own expense. I was playing small, constantly hoping others would see value in my ideas and invest in me, rather than backing myself. When I started working with Steve, I was exhausted from years of people-pleasing and had lost all sense of who I was beyond what I could do for others.
The head-to-heart process revealed patterns I’d been blind to. Steve helped me see that my inability to set boundaries came from old beliefs about my worth being tied to how useful I was to others. His direct yet compassionate approach gave me permission to feel the hurt I’d buried for decades – hurt that was actually trying to protect me.
The transformation has been profound. I’m now fiercely self-reliant in the healthiest way. I’ve found the courage to say no without guilt, to choose where I invest my energy. For the first time, I’m exploring life on my own terms, discovering interests and dreams I’d never allowed myself to have.
Instead of waiting for others to validate my worth, I’ve forged my own path. I now have a career that pays well and truly values my contributions. Even more meaningful, I’ve set up my own community interest company – something I never would have had the confidence to do before. I’m no longer hoping someone else will believe in my ideas – I’m making them happen myself.
What surprises me most is that I still help others – but everything has changed about how I do it. Now, when I give, it’s from fullness, not emptiness. It’s my choice, not an obligation. I do for others on my terms, with clear boundaries and genuine joy. My community interest company is the perfect example – I’m serving others, but from a position of strength and self-direction.
The focused, courageous person I am today was always there, just buried under layers of old wounds and fear. Steve didn’t fix me – he helped me uncover the strength that was always mine. If you’ve spent your life being taken advantage of or playing small, please know there’s another way. You can be kind AND have boundaries. You can help others AND honour yourself. You can stop waiting for permission and create your own success. That’s the gift of this work.” – Santhuru Murugamoorthy
