Testimonials Private Sessions

"I would be very keen to have another session at some point”  MH (Private Session as review for Radio Station)
 
"Thank you Tony, for being you and being there for me" JS
 
"Tony, what can I say? Your caring nature is wonderful. You have helped me find myself and hopefully I can take away these things you have opened my eyes to and find the wonderful life ahead that awaits me.” DC
 
"I think less and feel more. I have more awareness of my body. I have become more aware of how much of a slave I have been to my brain/mind rather than it being a tool that I can use/control, I have become more observant of my thoughts. I have become more observant of my emotional and physical feelings. Through observation I have become truer to myself. I am learning self-forgiveness because I did not realise how much I had hurt myself. I observe more and speak less, I am happier to be quieter. I have become more confident, I stand up for myself more. I don't back down so much just to make others happy or because I cannot stand confrontation. I am truer to myself and do more for me even if that means I say to another "no or not now", this is something that I have been learning / remembering for a while and has now become stronger. I love myself more each day and I am gentler on myself." GA
 
"Thank you for the beautiful SHEN experience I had during your stay at Atlantis. It was very kind of you. Here is what I thought about SHEN: Having had the privilege of experiencing Spa treatments all over the world I have had everything from Seaweed wraps to hot stone treatments. The SHEN treatment I received from Tony Bailey was truly a relaxing experience. The weightlessness of the cradle is extremely relaxing. During the hour I experienced some old memories and I felt lighter and refreshed after the treatment. It is nice to see a treatment out there that offers more that just physical benefits and really works on improving the mind and spirit. In today's rapid world SHEN seeks to balance the mind and clear past pain. SHEN is here and is here to stay. 
Warm regards" Tony Hosey, Fitness Center Manager, Mandara Spa (Bahamas) Ltd, Nassau, Bahamas
 
"I do believe I should be thanking you, I am so pleased that Tony made the introduction and I know that there will be many exciting opportunities to explore in the future as I look at how best to introduce your unique skills into our environment. I absolutely loved the SHEN therapy, and felt that I had met a true kindred spirit, which was very special." Shian Wing, Spa Director, Ocean Club, Paradise Island, Bahamas.
 
"My right leg never felt same as left leg since getting M.S. When you put your hands on – unbelievable warmth. I was so excited – I just can’t believe it. Then it felt like all the vessels inside were opening up – I wanted to go and kick a ball.” JM
 
“Just a little note to say thank you for the SHEN you gave me. I have to say, I felt more relaxed than I can ever remember. On leaving after the sessions, as I walked along feeling so different (in a nice way), I almost expected the people sitting along the riverbank to look up and notice a difference with me, perhaps looking in surprise and saying something like, ‘Look at him.’ Of course it didn’t happen but that is how profound the effects of SHEN were on me." DS
 
“I think SHEN is wonderful. I’m 100% better. Thank you Tony.” JS
 
During SHEN session…. “Emotionally felt very strong, words 'determined' and 'strong' in mind. Also words 'I’m not a victim' JG
 
“I am very well at the moment and feel that the SHEN sessions you kindly gave me contributed. It feels as if I have moved on in my life.” PH
 
“What can I say? – You’ve been my saviour and I really can’t thank you enough. I don’t wish to sound dramatic but I really feel as though I’ve undergone a major life change and it’s all thanks to you and wonderful SHEN. I feel so much happier, positive and confident, such a different person to that of say 3 months ago. I’m beginning to re-invent myself and you know what – Tony – it’s exciting.” LL
 
“Through the SHEN sessions I feel like I have been on a long journey – at times it has been difficult having to face painful memories but I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to assess my life (so far) and I am truly inspired by the way I can now look at past events with a greater understanding. The understanding of a real ‘Grown–Up" KP
 
"SHEN has enabled me to review and confront positively, a number of issues revolving around lack of self-worth, guilt and fear. I feel stronger and more confident. I hereby make a commitment to look 'forward' rather than back." KP
 
"Excellent therapy, can't wait to take it further. Tony handled the situation superbly." LS
 
"I must say my life has changed considerably and quite possibly this could be checked back by my visits with you and taking up the opportunity for SHEN Therapy. I am far more in tune with my soul and spirit and I have visited the past in many stages to view and assess as an adult looking back on a childhood. I think I might even have beaten my shopaholic problem but I will let you know about the latter in a few months time" LS
 
"An engineering training meant that I was initially sceptical and cautious of the claims and theory of SHEN. It was therefore a very pleasant surprise to experience effects and benefits which I could not explain by conventional thinking. I believe that SHEN helped me through a difficult part of my life and restored some of the confidence I had lost. I am immensely grateful to Tony Bailey for the loving care with which he delivered the sessions." JR
 
"My experience of SHEN has been incredible, and I can hardly believe the changes that have resulted. Tony created a supportive and safe space in which I was able to embark on my 'Journey to Freedom', for which I am deeply grateful. Having tried various techniques for emotional releasing work over the years, I am able to say that only SHEN has resolved issues at the core, giving me a feeling of completion. Since SHEN my feelings and responses to things have changed for the better, and I'm far less controlled by past conditioning. I'm free to make new choices. I find that if I do experience difficult emotions, they are far less intense and are transient, rather than lingering on. Prior to SHEN I experienced low level anxiety most of the time for as long as I can remember, and this has now gone. I feel transformed, I have more energy, I feel more peaceful and best of all I'm experiencing a feeling which must be happiness! I'm also more present and feel a sense of purpose again, which I've not had for many years. My relationships are working better and after a series of SHEN I was motivated to go out and get a new job, which I successfully did in less than a week! In many ways I feel as though my life has just begun, and it's truly wonderful. Thank you Tony!." Mya

Retreats

 
"I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kindness, help, support and love. You have a very magical place – a true Sanctuary for the soul. Rest assured I'll be back for more SHEN" J.A.
 
”I thank you from the bottom of my heart. A huge thank you for a wonderful, peaceful stay. I felt so comfortable and calm in my surroundings. Thank you for welcoming me into it. You will definitely see me again." GB
 
“Hi Tony! I hope you do not think me rude by not e.mailing you sooner, after my retreat. I could have e.mailed you as soon as I got home and given you 'the usual' feedback… I feel great. A weight has been lifted. I feel lighter etc.etc. All very true, but I decided it would be much more beneficial to you to leave it a week or so and see how I felt after I had been at work and lived in the 'real world' again for a while." MB
 
"Well I'm afraid I might disappoint you !…. I DO feel lighter, like a weight has been lifted, vacuous in fact. It's great. So I’m not really adding anything you didn't know and I expect would already expect yourself. Sure I have felt tired at times and I know I still have some healing etc. to do, but SHEN has really helped and I know things will just keep getting better, even if I feel low (it's just a lesson to learn from anyway), I have the tools, or the lack of baggage to deal with it.” AH
 
"Thanks for your reply to my email. I am still feeling great, life just keeps getting better and better. I love it. I will see how things 'pan out' in various ways before committing to a SHEN Workshop. Life is so full, I'm sure you find this too. But it would be good to do a workshop sometime. Peace and Light”GM
 

Workshops

 
“Hi there Tony, Many thanks for the very helpful advice on the phone yesterday. As always you gave clarity to the process, both of giving and receiving SHEN. You are a wonderful teacher! I absolutely want to continue learning SHEN with you and would indeed like to sign up for the professional certification programme and all that goes with it. What do I need to do?
 
A HUGE thank you Tony for a very powerful healing and transformative first SHEN workshop weekend. I absolutely love the simplicity of SHEN, the total absence of floaty language and the fact that we were all already giving and receiving SHEN powerfully from the first morning. It's clear that anyone can do this – no special skills or previous experience required.
 
There was a wonderfully supportive and comforting environment throughout the weekend and I felt held and safe throughout the many emotional and physical releases that I experienced over the three days. There was a potent sense of group consciousness and this definitely helped me let go more easily and allow profound healing to take place. It was fantastic to give SHEN as well as receive and I found that by the third day I could feel the energy flows very clearly and also was starting to read the body language of recipients much more easily. It's addictive stuff: the SHEN cradle and table went straight up the moment I got home and my partner (also on the course) and I exchanged sessions straight away.
 
I feel light, happy, at peace and certain that I'm on the path home with this amazing new tool to speed up the process. Having worked with many other healing modalities over the last 10 years as both practitioner and client I love the way SHEN cuts straight to the point, permanently releasing blocks to happiness and old limited ways of being whilst giving clear insight into the 'whys' during the process. Conscious healing without complicated language or ceremony. I love it. Roll on Part B!
 
With gratitude and love” ZM 
 
"My client, ‘Z’, was overflowing about her retreat and how powerful it was for her, both spiritually and for her relationship.  She feels it has really taken her to a new level, and is considering training up to be a practitioner.  Fantastic!"  VC Therapist 

“Firstly, a big THANK YOU for a great workshop.  I moved from not being in a good place on day one, to a much better one by the end and have managed to stay pretty close to that since, so thanks again." (Course Evaluation form)
 
"WOW! SHEN truly is a remarkable therapy and a fascinating journey.  Thank you Tony for providing both anchor and rudder for this leg and of course the directions.  I can see some stars by which to navigate the dark nights and the bright daylight sun has once or twice touched my heart with such power and warmth that I have been stopped in my tracks.”  SN

“Curiously amazing!” Feeling very relaxed and unwound, extremely safe – a great gift in itself. Very revealing all round.” IK
 
“Just amazing. Felt very light inside.” MF
 
“I am laying down guidelines and boundaries.  Thank you once again.  If I had been ready 20 years ago I would have done this. BUT NOW IS WHEN I AM READY.  No regrets at waiting until the time was right.” MB 
 
“Thanks for all you put into the Workshop weekend, it has certainly inspired me to continue taking SHEN further.” RL

"I just want to say thanks again for the great workshop." NW
 
"I think it was perfect. It was a transformational weekend. The teaching style is very compassionate and the experience allows them to make very insightful comments about the experience of the students. I released a lot of emotions and felt lighter and more grounded at the end of the session. It was also great giving SHEN to other students and help them with their transformation."  (Workshop Evaluation form)
 
"It exceeded my expectations. They (Instructor & Assistants) are fantastic. Very personable, warm, kind, supportive, friendly, encouraging. Felt safe. Their style made it so easy for me to learn because they were so non judgmental and supportive and kind." (Workshop Evaluation form) 
 
"Feel more free of baggage relating to long-held "issues" – What an adventure!"  (Workshop  Evaluation form)
 
"I enjoyed it immensely. Great. Enjoyable. Just right!" (Workshop Evaluation form) 
 
”What an EXPERIENCE!!! I can't thank you enough for your overwhelming love, compassion and generosity. This feels like the most important turning point in my life so far. 
What a relief to let go of all those limitations and start to LIVE. I am looking forward so much to the next bit of the SHEN journey home. With all love and thanks. Light, Life, Joy, Peace. I AM THAT I AM." ZM
 
"Well, what can I say? I am still in awe of the amazing, magical, and powerful three days we just had. 
I wanted to acknowledge and thank you for your incredibly kind and generous spirit in leading such a great workshop- we are all so lucky to be interested in SHEN, and to have had you guiding us! 
I loved the teaching style- I never took to anything so naturally without labouring over steps or getting nervous. I loved every minute of it and didn't feel the time pass, and in that I refer to when I was giving SHEN, as the receiving is just lovely!” CM 
 
“I have to say that I LOVE SHEN and I am filled with gratitude to come across such a beautiful and profound healing modality. I am very excited about interning and training as I feel it is the perfect fit for me and wholly compatible with my life purpose and my soon to be coaching practice.” SM
 
“Just to let you know also, that in general, I feel a thousand times more peaceful since the Part B last weekend.  It works!! Really feel I’m getting somewhere, now – deep down.  SHEN is amazing, life-changing and fun too!” VC
 
“I would love to do part B, and I am even sure and ready about continuing on with the training. 
Much love & gratitude,
SM (who feels like a newborn person!) "
 
“Atmosphere – creation of a nurturing, yet learning environment, but not patronising or over-involved.” (Workshop Evaluation form)
 
“Many thanks for a wonderful experience at the workshop.  I had some very powerful releases and hopefully these will integrate and I can understand these better as the weeks progress.  The small size of the group also helped and we were all very supportive of each other.  Thank you again for helping me to take some of my power back.” LP
 
“I am grateful to Tony for letting me assist him on two of his workshops because that has been a very rewarding experience.  I have felt plugged into a source of energy which lights me up and which I take home to my clients.  I love watching Tony teach as he brings a lightness of touch to the proceedings, which helps people relax and enables them to be themselves, and this encouragement helps people learn easily and painlessly!  I have com away feeling as if my batteries have been recharged.” GW
