I had my first one to one appointment with Claire in 2015 to get me started in yoga. I needed help with flexibility, strengthening and was intimidated by the thought of joining a group and holding everyone back. The one to one sessions led me to now where I have been attending yoga once a week until COVID 19 and now twice a week online, all led by Claire. She can give you a very gentle start to ensure you can get started and will work at a pace that's best suited to where you are at that given time. She can keep growing your own ability right up to a very advanced level and lead you further than you ever thought was possible. I continue to grow with Claire's guidance and leadership and use her classes to manage stress and help my physical wellbeing also.

I used the long relax prior to taking my exams for my degree course. It really helped me relax and I became far more focused. And then on the days of the exams I felt totally clear focused. I also found the techniques invaluable for memorising points and lists in the exam situation. Overall, in every day life, since I have been using the techniques I have found myself to be far more positive.

It is over 30 years since I first took the Silva Method course and figured I had got value for money. Over the years since I have had experience of a fair few course facilitators in repeat sessions. I have found Claire Lombard to be an excellent and capable instructor of the Silva Method and I have also taken instruction in Yoga and French language from her with positive results.

When I was sick with cancer and on treatment I would use the Long Relax for total and healing relaxation, adding the Pain Control Technique to minimise the pain. The results were terrific. I was told I was a model patient at the hospital. I now use the techniques mostly on the road to have an uneventful journey and to be moving the traffic along: I set duration for my travel and using the techniques always find that I achieve my goal, arriving safely, relaxed and on time. I use the sleep technique whenever I'm restless to have good quality sleep. Also, I sometimes have to travel long distances to attend meetings so, when I know I'm going to have a very short night sleep I use the Long Relax to improve the quality of sleep in order to be alert whilst driving and during the meeting.

"Thank you for a lovely experience during the weekend. As a result I had a super duper parent teacher meeting. I felt all interactions between myself and each set of parents were very fruitful. I wasn't worn out at the end of the night as I have felt before. The whole evening was more positive and I could see the parents blossoming with all the positive news and giving me back useful feedback. The school day has also become more productive. I really believe that even after using the phrase "You are really learning/concentrating/listening etc. better and better every day" for two days so far the atmosphere in the classroom has become more focused and attentive. Thank you so much again and I'll write again to let you both know how the memory pegs and three-finger technique works with the children". Follow-on success for Melissa..."I received brilliant news this morning. I have an interview this Saturday for a permanent job in Le Chéile-Educate Together school. I have wanted to work in this type of school for some time. So plenty of visualisation and 3 fingered technique until this Saturday. I can't wait to work there".
