Childhood Abuse
Hi Diana, just wanted to let you know I'm doing fantastic. Everything is really under control now and my relationship with my partner could not be better. I've confronted and faced my demons from the past and exorcised them completely. My future looks extremely bright. Thanks for all your help because it continues in my mind.
Hope you are well
Thanks again

Pregnancy & Childbirth

Hi Diana

Just a quick email to let you know that I had a little boy on Saturday 14th June.

We've called him Max and he weighed 9 lb.  We are both doing well.

I would like to thank you for the hypnotherapy sessions, they helped me a great deal when I was in labour to focus and
stay positive.  I didn't need any pain relief until I got to 7 cm which I was really impressed with.

Once again thank you and take care.

Best Regards
Jane

Listener to Award Winning Agony Aunt Show in Ireland

Hi Diana

You were on my mind today because I was googling your name and I was going to write to you...... to start at the beginning I used to listen to your on Heartbeat show which I thought was fantastic on Beat 102-103, I lived in Wexford for some time and really found your show to be very healing and theraputic.  However I moved away from Wexford and was not able to listen to your show - last Sunday night for the first time in ages I tuned in only to realise your show wasn't on - I rang Beat102 on Monday and was absolutely gutted to hear that your show has been discontinued.

So today I was toying with the idea of writing to you and I made a slip on the email address - I am just after noticing my mistake - I just wanted to ask you do you host any other show on any other radio station that would be similar to Heart Beat.

You are a great person Diana - I really admire you and I know you helped alot of people through the Heart Beat show so even if I never get to listen to you again in the context of Beat 102 I can take all the advice you did give through your show to help me in the future as you have definately helped me.

Take care and best wishes,

Breeda

CDs
Hi Diana
Some time ago I ordered two Cd's from yourself, I found the, Anger Management CD particularly useful. You may or may-not remember but I was finding my 4 yr old very demanding, he still is!! but I can now use your technique to calm myself down and then deal with the situation better, patience and understanding go with me on my journey through the doors!
So I would like to thank you very much for that.
Also at the time of ordering I poured out a few other issues I am having which you kindly responded to, I have to say, if I am known how famous you are I don't think would have bothered as I would have presumed i would just have received a standard reply not a personal one. so once again thank you
Kind
Regards
Anita


Self Belief

I can't believe the changes I have made to the way I see myself and my life since first meeting you. I feel like I see things in such clarity now, and although I am always working towards the things I want to achieve, you helped me to start going in the right direction.
I came to you originally thinking I was a problem that needed solving - I thought there was something wrong with me that I wanted you to help me "cure". From the very first session you helped me start to see that there was no problem in the first place. By talking things through with you I have begun to believe that I'm quite good as I am, and the only problem was that I just couldn't see it. It is such an amazing and liberating realisation. You're an amazingly wise person.
So, I just wanted to thank you for everything and I hope I'll see you again soon.

Panic Attacks- Pre Wedding Day

I came to see Diana after months of thinking about it and never actually
having the confidence to see a therapist. I had 8 weeks until my very
large wedding day and physically felt like my brain was freaking out
with control and panic issues and I could never relax and was quite low.
From the moment Diana opened the door I felt at ease. She is a truly
wonderful person and completely non-judgemental. She put me at ease and
we talked through my worries. In the following sessions certain
events in my past came to the surface and it was like a weight being
lifted talking things through. Diana taught me relaxation technique's
and her CD is excellent. She certainly gave me back some confidence in
myself and taught me how to deal with moments of anxiety and the
importance to be happy in my own skin.
After just one session I started to function better and we had around 6
sessions before my wedding day. The result was my wedding was perfect,
I didn't suffer a panic attack which was amazing and something which I
owe all to Diana, my day was perfect and I was so happy. I enjoyed my
day and hold happy memories which I will treasure forever because I had
the confidence to be myself. I feel far more positive, content and
happier as a person.
I would 100% unreservedly recommend Diana Luke to anyone.
Thanks again

Negative Thinking

Hi Diana,

Thanks very much for the advice, I have some of the things on the list already. Also, I have been banishing the negative thoughts as you suggested to me. I have found myself thinking in a whole new, positive way!

Many thanks.

Tim


Presentation Anxiety

I would recommend Diana whole-heartedly. She is an inspiring person and has given me techniques which I still call on in certain situations. Her techniques and advice worked very quickly. Every so often, during a stressful period I have called on her again. It is really comforting to have someone who I know will get me through rough patches with a mixture of compassion and real practical strategies.

Thanks Diana

Low Self Esteem

When I first went to see Diana I was 22 and very low, no self esteem, confidence run into the ground and many other issues. After several hypo sessions I felt better and stopped going to see her. At the time money was also a problem so difficult to continue.
Then after 7 years and just as I reached my 29th birthday I was feeling very low again and generally unhappy. My days were tough, job stressful, constant dissapointment. I decided to go along and see diana again.
After several hypno sessions and discussions along with relaxation/self hypno cd's I feel alive again.
I am positive/happy and feel like my life has taken a turn around. Everything I do is so much more positive and fun. I would strongly recommend this therapy and of course Diana to take care of making your life so much better.
Can't thank you enough Diana. Nicola

Confidence Building

"The Counselling sessions I received were extremely helpful. I found Diana very easy to talk to and found myself wanting to open up about my feelings. I really appreciated that Diana offered advice rather than just listening. Diana has a very calming influence and to top everything of, is a lovely person!"

Kind Regards

Hi Diana

Panic Attacks

"I felt comfortable in Diana's company and easily able to express my anxieties and concerns. I did feel that our discussions and Diana's advice helped me to get my problems, as I saw them, into perspective. I am still using the practical exercises Diana recommended on a regular basis." Best Regards John
Negative Thinking

"Dear Diana I always remember the time when I felt so much better after seeing you, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I stopped blaming myself for the things that weren't going to plan in my life - something I needed to have done a long time ago. You made me realise that I need to concentrate on myself and build myself up so I can deal with things better. Everytime I get down now I remind myself not to blame myself and it makes me feel more reassured, happier and more positive." Cheers Sally Ann

Relaxation and Insomnia


Cheers Diana, listened to the CD this morning, it really does work, its amazing I feel great, and really relaxed! Its strange how the
mind can convert its former thoughts into something more positive! Totally
gob smacked!
Genius!"

Thanks Bob

Weight Loss, Confidence Boost

"Dear Diana I came to you for help with my weight, but you have helped me to regain self confidence in all areas of my life. Although the separation from my wife was reasonably amicable, it has still been a stressful time, and my comfort eating was at an all time high. My weight peaked late in the summer, and I wad feeling pretty down, but I have now met a wonderful girl and my life has been completely turned around. I have lost thirty pounds in a little over two months, and I can honestly say that it has been your relaxation techniques that have helped me throughout. In the past, I would never have made the first move that I did with Karen and I would almost certainly have been comfort eating over my inability to do so. Thank you so much for everything." Jim

Smoking Cessation

Binge Eating (Bulimia)

"Dear Diana Yes I felt fabulous after my session yesterday and
for the first time in ages didn't binge WOW!!
I listened to the CD last night when I went to bed and again this morning.
I am starting to notice subtle
changes nothing
I can put my finger on just looking at things differently in a more positive light." Louise

Weight Loss CD

Hi Diana,
Just to let you know, I've tried both the CDs and they're great. Thank you very much. For me, I think the "letting go of excess weight" one is best. I find it so easy to visualise the things you ask and I love the coloured doors and rooms! It really suits me. I can't believe those feelings of complete joy can come from within! Everyone should experience it.

Helen


Stammer

Hi Diana,
"I have managed to get a job now! Went for an interview last week and
managed to use the technique you showed me of recreating a positive feeling
before I went in, took plenty of deep breaths and the interview went fine.
It's part time computer programming work, which I'm glad about, as it will
give me more time off to work on the stammer and I'll not be under as much
pressure as I was. Still listening to the hypnosis CD morning and night and
I think it's really helping me. I still go through bad patches when I'm
feeling down or really stressed but I'm more positive than I have been for
years.
Hope you're OK and thanks for all your help!"
Take care,
Alan


Driving Test

Smoking Cessation

Diana,
"It is nice that you took the time to ask how I am doing.
The good news is that I am still smoke free
after 22 months 3 weeks and 2 days (but who is counting!!!!)
I am sure that you helped which I appreciate very much.
I have been back at work since Dec 2004 (unfortunately!)
which hasn't been an issue re the smoking so that has got to be good.
Thanks again for taking the time to ask how I am doing
and I hope you are OK and keeping busy."

Bye

Therapy CD

Dear Diana

I have been listening to your CD since a year now and I can tell you how much it helped. It works so well that some of my friends who need the same therapy want to have your CD. Can you send me three more please.

With Best Regards

Therapy CD

Hi Diana,
I am so happy to have your new CD. It is the second time I listened
to it.
It gives me different feelings compared to the first one. I feel
relaxed but also
less passive (if my english is precise enough!). As if when I "open
my eyes" at
the end, I was feeling stronger and more positive; I guess it is
the aim!!
I really appreciate what you do.
All the best.
Genevieve



Boosting Confidence and Relaxation CD

"Hi Di hope you are well. I have only had one chance so far
to listen to the CD tonight, as have been working.
Let me tell you, its fabulous...even made my mum listened to it with me,
she's one of the worst sleepers in
the world, and she fell asleep listening to it!!! She's gone to bed now
feeling sleepy so will let you know if she's had one of the best nights
sleep ever. She said you've got a wonderfully relaxing voice and felt very
safe and comfortable, as did I. You feel totally relaxed and secure, it's
brilliant, will do it every day before I go to bed, one so it helps me sleep
and two so I feel as though I can face the days ahead full of confidence!
Thank you! Total success."

Smoking Cessation

"Hi Diana,
I hope you are well. I'm still a non-smoker.
I honestly think I'll be like this for the rest of my life too.
You've earned your wings now!
I'm not stressed at work anymore - it?s not a bind either. I've even got an allotment!
Thanks again and all the best,"

Bulimia

" I bought some chocolate to share when John asked if I wanted some and I said no, (shocked)
he asked if I didn?t want any because I might feel guilty after I ate it?
I said I just didn?t feel like any and really meant it.
This is shocking to me I genuinely couldn?t care if I had any or not,
it feels weird I can?t explain it. It?s like an emotion I have never felt before.
If I had said no before I would sit there obsessing about the chocolate
and thinking about it, there would be that little voice in my head saying

?mmm lovely chocolate?, ?just have a tiny piece?, ?you?re missing out?, etc etc.
But nothing ?? no little voice????
I am for the first time in years genuinely not bothered about eating chocolate,
this is something I could definitely get used to its great!! "Thank you!"

Stress Free Flying

"Dear Diana,
I just wanted to write to let you know that your Stress Free Flying CD worked wonders on me!
I have been terrified of flying for over 10 years after becoming unwell
on a flight to Greece and after that I would have panic attacks
even just thinking about going to an airport.
I spotted your CD in the New World Music catalogue that I get sent
and I decided to send away for it.
I have always wanted to go to Vancouver and last year I decided that 2005
was the year I was going to go. I listened to your CD every night
for about 4 weeks before I went on holiday and on the day I felt just a little bit nervous.
Sitting on the plane I felt fine and actually quite enjoyed it!
It took 11 hours to get there and I was SO happy when I got off-I had done it with your help!
A few weeks ago I went back to Canada, this time to Toronto for my cousins' wedding
and again I felt great.
I can only describe myself as having a definite inner calm, no rapid heartbeat,
no feeling sick, nothing! So thank you!
Your calming voice and helpful advice for before travelling did the trick for me.
I took your CD with me on the plane in case I needed to listen to it but didn't need it.
You have helped to lift a heavy weight off of my shoulders
and I am now looking forward to my next flight wherever I decide to go next!
Thanks again,"
Susan


Food Phobia- had not eaten anything other than four foods for over 30 years

Hi Diana all is going well thank you I'm really grateful for the help you have given me.
The sessions I had with you helped me see things differently and gave me the confidence to try new foods without been scared.
I have started trying full meals and I'm trying most things my wife is eating but I'm taking things slowly. I have eaten chicken bites, southern fried chicken, jacket potato, ham, cheese, garlic bread, cheese and tomato pizza, pasta, rice, salad, spagetti, fried egg sandwich.
Hope this feedback is ok for you,I will email you once a week on progress if thats ok.
thanks again Gary

Hi Diana just wanted to join the others in praising you. Thanks so much for all your help in me coming through these difficult times - I don't know that I would be here today writing this if it wasn't for all your help and guidance- you made me feel special again and most importantly safe to discuss my fears and conquer them.
Thanks again. Robert
