2 Day Intensive Couples Journey – January 2012
“I found considerable benefit in doing a 2 day relationship intensive, appropriately nicknamed relationship MOT, with my husband. Gina facilitated us through a bespoke course that focused us on the areas of our relationship that had gone into polarisation, therefore inhibiting experiencing the flow of love between us. We are no strangers to therapy and healing practises, but had hit an impasse that despite our therapeutic skills, painful issues kept re-triggering as if on cycle and I was personally quite desperate and hopeless when we arrived at Gina’s door. Gina caringly and expertly over the 2 days taught and guided us through some incredible techniques for managing communication when in the heat of a trigger. The results of this were phenomenal taking us from arch enemies to loving allies and facilitators for each other’s healing and growth. We reconnected with the powerful love and passion between us and remembered why we had chosen each other so carefully as Gina put it, for our optimum healing and growth potential.
The tools we have taken away to implement into our daily lives are precious and new so we are having to be mindful and aware. At least now there is so much more clarity as to what is going on between us!
The 2 days enlightened me also as to where my energetic communication with our two children was not working and how what we had learned could benefit the relationship space of the whole family. cannot recommend highly enough giving this gift to oneself as a foundation for loving communication and interaction! Money could not be better spent in my opinion and we plan to continue our “tune ups” via Skype sessions. Thank you thank you Gina!”

“I had the privilege with my wife Melanie, of being invited on a 2 day relationship intensive (tune up) facilitated by Gina at her home. I had not met Gina in person before but Melanie and I had enjoyed a brief previous Skype session. I very much liked where she was coming from and the caring and intuitive insights she had to offer us in such a short space of time.
The weekend comprised of two 6 hour sessions in which we shared with her our relationship qualities and difficult areas that we wanted to improve on. Communication was a big feature in this and Gina gave us some extremely helpful feedback and techniques to try out with each other.
For me it was the way in which Gina held this space for us that has inspired me to write this. The relaxed and loving way in which she gave us a platform each to really connect and listen to each other. I have had some previous experience in finding support on my own journey and my journey together with my partner and the way in which I felt supported and encouraged was of the highest quality. Without prejudice or any desperate need to fix something that appears broken.
The long shot is that I felt nurtured and encouraged to stay open and keep looking within myself for the outward change. I left with a feeling of renewed commitment and with some new tools that I actually understood how to grasp and put into practice within my relationships. And a great cup of tea too! Sincerely”

“Gina is a warm and skilful relationship educator. She helped my partner and I feel totally at ease and talked us through a one to one communication tool which enabled us to explore issues with each other as they come up. This has helped us to move into a more loving space by understanding one another more deeply. I would highly recommend Gina to any couple wanting to deepen into a more conscious way of loving and communicating with each other.” Maggie, Brighton
“I can honestly say that meeting Gina and learning from her, really helped me open my eyes to the reality of my relationship situation. I was stuck in a repeat pattern which I am sorry to say I had been doing over and again for 25 years and my wife had been the “victim” of my reactions all along. Gina has true patience, humility, commitment and is passionate about her work and gives you time to regain that sense of self that I know I had lost. Thank you from me and my newly formed conscious marriage and family”. Rob, Brighton
“Sometimes in life you meet people who literally turn that light bulb on for you and help you take off the mud covered spectacles that you have dutifully worn over the years. Gina, you are a master and angel on this planet and your passion is definitely to work with mere mortals such as me ! I have gained a new perspective on me, its that simple. I stepped out of myself and looked at myself warts and all pretty much for the first time in my life and painfully had to see the truth. I came to see Gina without my husband at first because he was reticent about anything “therapy” wise ! I fell apart on her at first. I literally dumped my heart and soul and where I was at and Gina let me be me, which was such a revelation ! Using healing and yoga techniques I was able to come into balance and take a look at myself in all my TRUE glory and ACCEPT that…as she said “I am where I am and that’s ok”. My marriage was in a mess and my husband and I had experienced disconnection a long long time ago. Through the beauty and energy of partner yoga, Gina helped us reconnect without speaking which was incredibly powerful. It made us both cry several times but each time we left the sessions we felt closer than ever before. Words are sometimes just not necessary. Thank you Gina we are alive again because of you”. Pat, Worthing
“Having 3 sessions with Gina helped us both so much to see beyond our unconscious reactions and responses to each other and to move beyond the ‘triggers’ that constantly set us both off. We learned ways to dialogue with each other and actually listen to what the other was trying to say, and what they felt they needed.
We are much more able to know our own needs now and to communicate them better. Whether or not we will continue our relationship is not yet clear- for now, we are both learning from our connection and learning most to be more loving and accepting of ourselves and each other. I have grown more confident in listening to myself- what it is I want and need, without feeling defensive about it. I have also learned to focus more on how his responses to me make me FEEL rather than who’s fault something is. I have also learned to trust the process and if this relationship is going to end it won’t be because I’m jumping off a speeding train- we will both be parked at a station, ready to go in different directions!
The sessions with Gina provided a safe space, beyond any judgement, where we could explore the scary dark spaces of our relationship and add light there. Thank you Gina for being such a beautiful facilitator of loving communication!” Rozy, Croydon
“We both feel that the technique you taught us was a huge help in taking the heat out of any conflict we had, and enabled us to continue to communicate in a way that we were able to hear each other rather than react. An invaluable tool – Thanks Gina” Camilla, Brighton

“It’s hard to pinpoint how exactly my chat with Gina helped me to get through some difficult moments and (re)consider some challenging aspects of my current relationship. But it did. I feel I have made a shift within myself and that is reflected in the quality time I have spent with my man, who I was on the verge of splitting from. I think he feels a lot better too. I remember Gina making a comment that was non-judgmental and I remember that that helped me enormously. I was ready to let go/ grow a little, and I did, and the relationship of nine cats lived to see another day. ” Vee, London
“Gina has a wealth of experience and wisdom to share about relationships. The Imago principles she taught really helped me make sense of my patterns in relationships and because she shares her knowledge with intuition, empathy and practicality the experience I had was so much more than being ‘educated’, it was being accepted, understood and guided. Thank you Gina.” Mandy, London
“…I cannot wait to get into a romance just to really sink my teeth into what Gina has taught me. I have no doubt I will be taking my new partner to meet Gina, allowing her to help bring clarity and truth to our relationship” Penny, Brighton
Healing
“I was privileged to meet Gina in India at the Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat, Coonoor and to follow her spiritual journey into wider and deeper holistic realms. She is one of those rare, special people who have so much to offer and she gives with so much passion and dedication. She is a wonderful yoga teacher, a healer and friend; a source of inspiration (and admiration) – truly one of a kind!” Imola, Canada
“Gina is a truly amazing healer, I can honestly say she changed my life! My experience with crystal healing was so powerful I was filled with energy for the first time in years. I am so thankful for finding Gina. She has a natural ability to put you at ease & feel completely relaxed during a session. I would not hesitate to recommend Gina to anyone who feels they have ‘baggage’ to clear, in fact I would suggest everyone gives it a try just for the experience.” Marion, Kenley
“Finding Gina was a turning point in my life. I knew things had to change and I had an idea of what, but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Coupled with the calm and relaxing environment, the very effective treatments and the caring and understanding demeanour that Gina naturally has, it has made me think about my life in many different aspects, in a very positive way”. Alison, Burgess Hill
“For several years my wife had suffered from severe imbalance in her ears. This condition caused her many problems, specifically in terms of day to day wellbeing with a great reluctance to enter large buildings, such as supermarkets and chain stores, where she felt unable to cope with the milling crowds and continuous movement of people, this should not be confused with any form of agoraphobia, this has caused her long term headache’s and anxiety over many years, she had been seen by many conventional Doctors on several occasions without success. I was so determined to find another way, and by chance saw an article in the daily paper about ear candling, which has come from the Hopi Indian Tribes of North America. One of the benefits that I read about was the help it could give to those suffering imbalance problems. After reading this great news I set about finding the right person to talk to on behalf of my wife and after searching on the internet, I came across Gina. Gina is qualified in many areas of Holistic healing and my wife and I went to see her and have been doing so on several visits since. In a short time she has made a huge difference to my wife’s outlook on life, who now feels, at last, someone understands her problem. So far she has had 6 Hopi treatments, and I can see how much my wife has improved. We will continue to visit Gina Hardy for the foreseeable future. I could not praise or respect this person more than I do for what she has done and is continuing to do for my wife”. Peter, Bognor Regis
