Stress Matters Testimonials

What I liked about the sessions I had with Sarah and Paul is they both look on health holistically. I have realized it's not just about controlling my weight it's about how I feel about myself. Before I went to see them I felt really bad about me. I now feel really good and life has changed because I have changed. I no longer drink diet shakes, or diet meals. I learnt how to balance my mind and body and now I am well on my way to the weight I want to be. The testing, NLP and TimeLine therapy did it for me. I believe that Paul and Sarah are unique and I thank them both for helping me climb out of the hole I was stuck in for so long.

They say you can't teach old dogs new tricks, well Sarah and Paul can! I must admit I was nervous to start with, trying something new, but within 10 minutes I felt I had known them all my life! TimeLine works I don't know how and I don't are but it does. Leave all your emotional rubbish with them, walk out without it, I was skeptical. It's the best thing you can do for yourself. I feel wonderful. Well worth the journey.

I am writing to you to thank you for changing my life. 'I can see clearly now the rain has gone'! I play it everyday. TimeLine Therapy should be prescribed by doctors. I feel so light and excited about my future, moving towards what I want, using the skills you taught me. Thank you both you are incredible healers and teachers.

How am I feeling, you are asking... Well, if you have three hours to spare, I will let you know... Terrific is part of an answer, except that it is an understatement. There's so much lightness in my mind and body (I have actually lost 3 kgs since Monday...), I can see everything so clearly, I can actually think properly about my issues without getting sidetracked every two seconds and getting to nowhere, I feel a great sense of humor, beauty, worthiness on every object or situation I look upon. I can enjoy talking with people; I can answer the phone without a pang of emotions in my stomach or my belly. I feel totally energized and could undertake anything, just anything. It feels like the power I felt as a child, which I knew was the "real thing", has come back. The fog in my head has gone, my eyes can even see more clearly and when I close them, the black I see is thinner...

I've been in this type of elated state many times in my life ; it always happens when I start a journey by train to some place by example. But I never managed to keep it going for a very long time ! That was the state I was asking to achieve when I began every meditation.

I'm definitively not any more under the power of my emotions and life is so simpler as a result, so, so simpler! I feel free, free as the blue butterfly I saw fluttering around when I came back from the therapy and sat in our backyard (a blue butterfly, being me, is the first significant dream of my life I remember).

Everything had been put back in its right place, but not in a vengeful manner.
So you know more about how I feel now. You probably consider yourself as an "instrument" that came in my life because I was the one looking for it, but still I owe you a huge thank you for helping to propagate this very effective therapy in helping people out of their misery.

Have a great free of negative energies day! See you soon.

You have been a guardian angel to me. And the help by way of knowledge and insight has been immeasurable.

There are no words for me to express how grateful I am to you for, in a way, saving me, as I fought to survive. God bless you Sarah , I am so

It was so worth the trip up to see you both. Thank you for helping me see the light. I can't thank you enough.

If you have a problem please do not hesitate to call Stress Matters. I did a break Through Session with them in November 07 and have never looked back. I was Bulimic for 8 years. I never thought I would feel good about myself, but I do.....The skills they have to help are fantastic. If you are reading these testimonials then you may have a problem. Don't just read, call.....Change your life forever....I did. Thank you, thank you.

I just have to write and let you know that the eczema has completely gone. I would never have thought it possible in such a short time. Thanks to you I realized it was part emotional and part food intolerances. The Timeline therapy was totally amazing, I still am on cloud nine after 3 months. Thank you for helping me burst the bubble of my problem! I feel I can move on with my life with new confidence and the reassurance that the past is where it should be, firming there! Best wishes, Jane (Newcastle) Dec 07

This is to thank you for your loving support when I was so sorely in needing it. I have taken my courage into my own two hands and pushed further into the future where I have discovered further proof that I am on the right track.

Your unshakable faith in me, plus the work we did together set me up to expand my wings; and thank God I listened to the guidance that brought me to you.

I have never experienced such an amazing change. I would have never thought that I could feel so good and have a new direction in my life. Thank you Sarah, for helping me understand myself and why I was feeling such pain. I will never go back to that again...I am free.

Sarah Cooper came into my life about 6 weeks ago after I read her ad in the local newspaper. I was at a time in my life where I needed further counselling/therapy despite having spent most of my adult life in therapy. My first meeting with Sarah found me huddled in her very comfy chair frightened and crying and I pretty much felt helpless, once again. Today, I have finished my sessions with Sarah and I feel like a
different person altogether thanks to her unique way of relating to her client's. Sarah has helped me with my emotional, mental and physical health and goes out of her way to provide me with constant information on various topics relevant to my progress.

I am a great believer in timing and I know that Sarah has come into my life at exactly the right time for me to be able to take on board what
she had to offer me. I needed to have some of my outdated beliefs and thought processes challenged and Sarah managed that with uncanny
perception, intuition and a genuine desire to see me heal and I am very grateful to her for that. I would highly recommend anyone out there
who is lost, broken and questioning where they fit into this world to pick up the phone and give Sarah Cooper a ring and be prepared to
embark on an exciting journey.

I found Sarah on the internet early this year. We are over 4 hours away from Newcastle and I have never met Sarah face to face. Since that first email she has been extremely kind and generous with her time and knowledge on many health issues.

She has helped me and my family many times this year through phone calls and emails. We have used her cleanses with great success and she has helped me find great quality items including safe parasite cleanses for my 3 kids. I wouldn't hesitate in seeing Sarah about any problem I had as I believe she really wants to see people succeed in life.

I went to see Paul about a phobia of moths and butterflies. I was petrified of them. After a very short session I am no longer terrified of them. Amy (Williamtown).

A short time ago I was a chocoholic. I used to crave chocolate all the time. After one session with Paul I can’t bring myself to eat it anymore. I never thought it was possible to give it up until Paul helped me to train myself not to want it anymore. It has been 4 months since I last touched chocolate, and I never will again. Thank you! Amy (Williamtown)

Having reached a stage in my life where I was engulfed with despair, I found myself making an appointment to see Sarah Cooper. My husband had pointed out an add in the local paper “Stress Matters” so decided I would give it a go. On that first appointment I was a mess. I was teary, miserable unable to focus on anything positive.

My comments started with ‘I can’t’ and the world around me seemed to be black and uncaring. I hated myself, my job, my life.
My marriage, thank God, was great and without my husband to steer me and support me, I know I would not have made the journey to recovery and to find Sarah. From the moment I met Sarah she taught me to see that all my negative thoughts were coming from ‘my own’ lack of self worth. If I think I am no good…..I am no good. The more I spoke, the more Sarah helped me see that ‘I’ was the problem. It was the way I saw things, the way I thought about things, the way I perceived things. Thoughts become things - the best lesson of all.

Armed with two of Sarah's fantastic CD’s I began on a new road to recovery. Those CD’s have been played every day, sometimes twice. They have taught me so much and I now love the chance to start a new day and look forward to whatever comes my way.

I am learning, every moment of every day – it’s all up to me. Sarah came into my life at a time when I believed I didn’t want to live a moment longer. I have been able to pass on this wonderful knowledge that Sarah has taught me to my children, my friends and anyone who wants to listen. Best of all, I now know that I had this knowledge all along, I just needed to be shown how to find it. Sarah (Stress Matters) has made a big difference in our lives. Thank you Sarah.

I have waited some time before compiling this statement, as I wanted to take time to see if the work we did truly made a sustainable difference, and it has. After many years suffering from debilitating, severe anxiety I am now anxiety free. The work that I did with you both, and the strategies you introduced to me have been extremely effective. I can honestly say your holistic approach was both extremely professional and highly beneficial. This in conjunction with your caring and compassionate attitude resulted in an extremely positive experience and outcome. My lifestyle has improved greatly for the better, I am healing.

For the last 15 years I have suffered from IBS and a slow transit bowel. I had been recommended by doctors to use a number of laxatives, stool softeners and up my fiber intake to help and fix the problem. Nothing worked, as I would either have terrible gas, diarrhea , constipation and cramps. I stopped taking everything and told myself I would just have to deal with the condition and live with it. I lived with chronic constipation and would only go to the toilet every 4-5days. I felt constantly ill as all the toxins kept reabsorbing into my body. I was always bloated and dealt with cramps almost daily.

While on the web I came across a great Detox plan that explained reasons for these symptoms and that it could help. So I went ahead and followed the extremely detail and well-explained Detox program . I was able to communicate with them and found them to be extremely helpful and understanding. Since completing the Detox I have been communicating with them and continuing to follow their advice. For the first time in 15years I’m regular and feel fantastic. I would like to thank the clinic for all their help and advice and highly recommended their services for anyone. S. Krebs, Bondi ( 1 Feb 2007)

It will be one of the best things you can do to go and see Sarah & Paul at Stress Matters. Eye opening and life changing. Don't waste any more of life's precious time trying to deal with things that can be so simple to overcome with help from the Coopers! Many thanks, Gail. (Nelson Bay, Dec 2006)

“Your technique is wonderful. Not only has it applied to no smoking, I have also applied it in other ways. I am more patient with everyone, and am able to listen to what is being said. This has increased my ability to respond rather than react in all situations. Giving up smoking was only a small benefit of visiting you, and the previous mind-set is gradually getting smaller. If you really want to improve on aspects of yourself, this is definitely the way to approach it.”

I really can't describe what happened, all I know is that it feels like the heavy box I had been carrying around with me has been emptied and I have been given a new one that can only be filled with good light things.

For 40 years I had tried to deal with big emotional problems, including hurt, anger and denial. The only person who knew and tried to help me was my husband. I was eventually prescribed anti-depressants and appointments with a psychologist.

I didn't want to stay on medication indefinitely so I found Stress Matters Health Clinic. I can't speak highly enough of Sarah and Paul's treatment with NLP and Time Line Therapy®. They were not only highly professional but I also felt they were my best friend, caring and compassionate, making me feel very comfortable and relaxed.

I have my life back I owe them so much. My psychologist was very impressed and said they deserve a gold star, and so they do. Thank you Sarah and Paul for caring for me and my whole family. (Feb 2006)

“Stress Matters” appeared at just the right time for me. Day to day activities had become overwhelming. After seeking help from Sarah and Paul I now feel a more positive, brighter future in better health and greater self confidence.

'I wanted to thank you both for the work you did with me over the past 4 weeks. I feel so much better and more focused, and I feel more lighter than I have done in years. I now feel I can move forward with a healthy amount of realistic self belief. The session of Time Line Therapy has clear something much more fundamental than the eating thing.

'After 8yrs of prescribed anti-depressants which never even scratched the surface of my condition. 4 sessions of NLP empowered me to be my 'true' self and gave me the ability to handle situations which (previously) filled me with anxiety due to low self esteem & a zero confidence level.

My mind is finally in a nicer place. thanks to Sarah Cooper and NLP.'

Pauline, Anna Bay

'I came to see you just over a month ago to stop smoking. I am happy to say that I no longer smoke, I am a non smoker. The NLP techniques worked so well and I am saving so much money now and not over eating! Thank you.'

'Thank you once again for your help with the eating problem. I feel more relaxed around food and can now make better choices about what and when I eat.'

'Sarah and Paul’s sessions, give a real insight into the powers of hypnotherapy and NLP. They are both friendly & relaxed and have helped me greatly with confidence and self confidence problems, allowing me to enjoy parts of my life I once feared. They teach as well as heal allowing you to carry on with the techniques when you need them.

If you have any problem then I suggest you call Stress Matters and make the change now'

'A very positive experience in all ways. Many Thanks. Would recommend it to everyone!'

Sandra (Sydney) is a passionate surfer. She is determined and practices regularly.

Sandra explained that she felt that she was being blocked from progressing and was finding it very frustrating. She had taken many lessons with good instructors but was not successfully implementing her lessons.

During a session of NLP she discovered some very revealing facts. When she was about to take a wave she was actually creating fear inside herself. Upon further investigation we found that when she was learning she had been hit by a very big wave and been significantly scared and physically hurt.

Her unconscious mind was trying to protect her body and therefore, creating fear as a defence mechanism. This fear was preventing her from performing as well as she wanted to and also utilizing the skills she had been taught by a number of professional surf instructors. With timeline therapy and some NLP work she was able to create better methods to both protect herself from being hurt and to improve her skills. Sandra gave us some feedback after she took her board into the waves again.

'As for the surfing, the main thing I noticed is that I'm a lot less
frustrated with myself and as a result, enjoying it a lot more again!
For the first time in ages I actually feel that I'll get where I want to
be with my surfing .... it's awesome! Thanks for you help'! Sandra H. Sydney.
