I went to The Well State on referral from a friend after I was suffering from bouts of anxiety brought on by a recent medical condition. After the 6 week course I am happy to say I am on the right track to reclaiming my thoughts and identifying what anxiety is and how to tackle it. It has been an actual weight off my mind. Further to this, Amarra has helped me identify other areas of my life that I want to improve, and I now have a solid step-by-step plan on how I’m going to achieve that. If you want to make change in your life in a meaningful way, Amarra can show you how you already have the power within yourself to do so. Spanish philosopher Maimonides famously wrote "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" I can’t think of a better way to sum my experience up than this, and I can’t recommend The Well State highly enough. This course has helped me change my life.

I signed up for Amarra’s 6 Week’s to Wellness Coaching with no real idea of what to expect, I just knew that something was missing from my life and I was at a point where I was willing to try anything. After almost a year of unexplained fatigue, that my GP kept telling me was depression, I had seen a number of great practitioners and knew I was eating well and doing lots to support my well-being, but I was still struggling mentally and had no drive or motivation. Amarra helped me to set and achieve some goals, that mostly had me focussing more on myself, who I was, what I wanted to do and what my passions were. She helped me to recognise that what was actually missing from my life was taking the time to do the things I actually enjoyed. Once I started to focus on making more time for me, everything else started to fall into place. I finally had my mojo back! My biggest take away from the 6 weeks was not to underestimate the value of learning to prioritise self care and taking time for myself.

I have completed 2 x 6 week courses with The Well State and I can honestly say that so much has changed for me on a personal level. How I see Amarra is that she is my Wellness Mentor/Coach. When I walked into my first appointment my whole focus was on my weight and that I needed to lose a lot of it! When I walked out 12 weeks later my focus is on myself and how important it is to take time for myself, say no for myself, rid myself of unwanted attachments whether it be Alcohol, invitations, sugary foods and this doesn’t mean never having them again it means they are not important, or course this is an ongoing process some days better than others. That life is to be lived and there has to be a balance. I have to schedule my time to actually make space for positive physical and mental changes. I am able to share with Amara inspirational photos, or email when I am struggling and I have this wonderful person coming back to me with encouragement and some strategies to move forward in a positive manner. By no means am I perfect and quite often I still take 1 step forward and 10 steps back but the difference is I now say to myself small steps and consistency are the key to feeling calm, content and happy in my own skin. The other positive is I now have a wonderful resource library from all the tips Amarra has shared with me. I feel very honoured to be a part of The Well State Community!

I came across the Well State in the GT magazine when I read a write-up about Amarra. Having been a year above Amarra at school it was amazing to see how far she had come with both her personal life and business. Reading what Amarra had to offer her clients in regards to well being and mindfulness I thought this was the perfect opportunity to take time for myself and for me to put me first. From the moment I sat with Amarra at her beautiful studio I felt at ease and able to open up about myself. Amarra has given me a lot of strategies to get through day today tasks and being able to help me set goals to improve myself, making time for myself and enjoying the moment. I cannot thank Amarra enough for all the support and guidance that she gives not only at her appointments but also her checking in on me to make sure I'm okay days later. Her follow up was beyond my expectations; I'm so glad I decided to put my self first.

Thanks for guiding me to a different path in life.

Amarra has been a great source of information for me, and in my decision to follow a more health-conscious lifestyle. Our informal chats are really enjoyable & we cover so many topics – from my vegan diet, to migraine treatments and even anxiety around travel. With Amarra’s suggestions and personal experience to lead the way, I feel much more in-control and aware of the options out there for me. She’s a great sounding board
