What People Are Saying
“I have loved this Course, we have reignited our relationship somewhat as I have found some really creative ways to go through our personal memorabilia to share our memories, it felt like Alisha was waking up again, and found her voice when we did this. I didn’t realise we had different types of memory; so interesting.”
