client reviews

Jeanine is an amazing practitioner. She has such empathy and compassion for the people that she works with and is incredibly flexible in her approach to meeting the needs of her clients. As a mental health recovery practitioner, I cannot over state how grateful I am for having met Jeanine. She offers a sensitive, person-centered practice and is always willing to go the extra mile to embody the loving ethos that she promotes.

I have sent a number of my patients to Jeanine for her chair yoga sessions and every one has responded positively to them and have been happy to continue the full course. They have found the sessions comfortably challenging but accessible and although they have enjoyed the workout, they have been able to do them at their own pace and within their limits without feeling overwhelmed or pushed. Jeanine is a calming and welcoming person and this has made people feel relaxed and encouraged before and during the sessions. She has made contact if needed prior to starting which has been helpful and people have made connections during the sessions which has been an added bonus. This has then given people confidence to pursue other activities as well as improving their physical health. Thank you Jeanine!

On behalf of the Barnstaple HOPE Programme, for people living with Fibromyalgia, I wanted to say a very big thank you for coming to our group yesterday and providing us with a sample session of your chair-based yoga. We all found the yoga very relaxing, even those who suffer with chronic joint pain managed to take part. Your explanation of the yoga moves, and what not to do if it hurt, was really positive. We all wish you well and hope to be at one of your classes in the near future.

Dear Jeanine, On behalf of the Rainbow Club Members and Linda, I would like to thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon. All the members thoroughly enjoyed your company and presentation, so thank you so much.

Jeanine came to a client I look after, MC looked forward to seeing Jeanine and found the sessions very helpful especially using parts of her body that she has not been able to use and gaining a lot more strength. I also joined in with the sessions and found them helpful in relieving tension in my arms and back also very relaxing. Jeanine also gave MC a hand massage which she really enjoyed. I highly recommend Jeanine.

Jeanine is a warm and friendly yoga teacher. She understands my needs and adapts the poses to match my abilities. Her lessons involve careful and gentle stretching to improve flexibility, muscle tone and balance. The atmosphere is always calm and relaxed, with time to giggle when my sense of balance fails me! Jeanine is a star and I can't recommend her highly enough.

My weekly sessions of chair yoga with you are a bright spot in my calendar. They help me feel better not only physically but mentally too. Love it Jeanine, has brought a bounce back to my step. Thank you

I find my chair yoga sessions with Jeanine very helpful in relieving tension in my back. She has a very calm and soothing manner, which helps me to relax, and varies the exercises so that the time goes very quickly.

Jeanine is amazing! She is such a wonderful, compassionate yoga teacher. Her classes are incredibly relaxing and empowering. Jeanine personalises each class to suit me and modifies anything that I struggle with. She has been so helpful in creating gentle harmonious classes that benefit my body and mind, taking into account my health issues. I leave her feeling nurtured, powerful and ready to conquer the day! I cannot recommend this lovely woman enough.

After having surgery on my back many years ago, I now have a chronic pain condition which excludes me from taking any form of exercise. So to find Chair Yoga with Jeanine was a blessing. I have been doing chair yoga for a few weeks now and I can certainly feel the benefits. Jeanine has guided me through the sessions with patience and consideration. She has taught me how to relax during the exercises and how to adapt them on my “bad days”. Alongside my regular sessions I am looking forward to working with the videos that Jeanine is personally making for me.

I have had both yoga and several holistic massages with Jeanine. She is bubbly, enthusiastic and so much fun to be with. Her yoga classes are gentle and she always ensures that I am in the correct poses. Her massages are very relaxing and stress relieving for me and I always look forward to my appointment and feel great after my session.

I have had three yoga sessions so far and can honestly feel the benefits. It is great to have a yoga session dedicated to me and my needs as an individual. Each session is tailored especially. Jeanine has helped me to learn relaxation techniques which help me on a daily basis. I feel relaxed yet revitalised after each session. I look forward to yoga each week and highly recommend Jeanine.

Jeanine came to our home to provide a yoga session for me and my two girls aged 4 and 7. The session was relaxing and informative. Jeanine took the time to ensure the girls were in the correct position for each move and throughly explained each movement. We now have a fantastic resource to use at home too. We are looking forward to putting our new techniques into practice. Thank you
