TESTIMONIALS

‘Before talking to Ray I was feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and scared to make a decision without any certainty of my future. In addition to an accumulated feeling of physical and mental exhaustion, I was feeling trapped in a problem going around and round with out being able to see a solution.

After talking to Ray during my Discovery Session, everything changed. The problems that seemed to be formidable, even insuperable were transformed in ‘opportunities’ to be explored personally and professionally. I’m taking the necessary time to reflect on them before ‘materialising’ them in my life.

Ray is a person who showed a lot of empathy during my Discovery Session. He gave me some tools to empower me to find answers and these tools helped me to be calm and to go back to my inner-centre. Thanks to Ray I have taken my first step towards my desire to change.

I highly recommend Ray of Light’s Discovery Session because it helps greatly to gain clarity and objectivity over your current situation. Ray has a very high emotional intelligence that helps him to understand what you are going through. Therefore, the session flows naturally and is fruit bearing. At the end of the session, you get an assessment and understanding of the benefits of working with a Life Coach.

I’m very grateful of Rays’ time, kindness and beautiful energy.’

‘Before working with Ray I was overwhelmed by anxiety. I had continual intrusive thoughts and suffered from overthinking. It was exhausting. I was unable to enjoy day-to-day life and unable to sleep well.

I worked with Ray for just two months. Not only did I really enjoy his sessions but I saw results after each one. He taught me breathing techniques to manage my stress and anxiety as well as other effective tools to help me remain calm, which improved my quality of sleep. At the end of my coaching programme I have a better understanding of the thought processes and the power of my mind.
I am in control and no longer find myself overwhelmed.

After just two months I feel much better about myself. I am much happier. I sleep well and I feel I’m now in control of my life. I would definitely recommend Ray of Light Coaching Services to anyone who needs help managing their stress and anxiety or who wants to improve the quality of his/her life’.
— Jamie, 35
‘Before working with Ray I was struggling to get motivated to complete the smallest task and was easily overwhelmed. I had very low self-esteem and would struggle daily with negative thoughts.

I found it difficult to go to work and was constantly stressed. This affected my relationships. I felt very out of control of my emotions. I was also suffering from night terrors, which affected my sleep.

I tried taking time off work as I felt that work was the main issue and once I changed jobs it helped to a certain extend. However I wouldn’t have been able to cope with starting a new job without the help from Ray as he helped me build my confidence and self-esteem.

My only concerns at first working with Ray were that I felt there was a lot of information to learn and maybe I needed taking therapy instead. However that information was definitely needed and I have learnt how to help myself and use mindfulness to strengthen my mind. I now know that coaching was the right fit for me.

I now know how to use tools to feel more in control of my emotions and my relationships have improved. I’m now in a new job, which I love. I no longer procrastinate and I get more of life. I have learnt to practice self-care, mindfulness and I am no longer comparing myself to others. I have learnt how to manage stress and my most important goal is to be happy.

Ray is easy to talk to and he teaches you how to manage stress and anxiety. He will show you tools that will stay with you so you can cope with the difficulties you face. If you feel like you are easily overwhelmed or putting yourself down because you are unable to achieve your goals or even complete simple tasks, Ray is the coach for you. Your life will be changed for the better.’

‘Before working with Ray I felt lost. I was near breaking point. I felt very angry. I desperately wanted to quit drinking as I could see how it was ruining my life. I had tried to stop before (many times) but I would inevitably start drinking again after just a couple of weeks. I really needed someone to guide me through it and to teach me coping strategies to develop resilience. It got to the point that I felt lost to myself, like I had strayed too far from the path and needed help finding my way back.

I was willing to try anything to sort my life out. So when I was recommended working with Ray of Light Coaching Services, I thought, why not?! I have tried everything else.

Just three months of working with Ray….my whole life changed. My outlook and gratitude for life has dramatically improved. I see clearly. It is fantastic. My health has massively improved. Hand on heart, Ray has literally saved my life.

I would highly recommend any person who wants to change his/her life to just try Ray of Light Coaching Services.’
— David, 62
‘I feel what you’ve done for me is something I’ll never be able to thank you enough for. You gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do and I’m so much better for it. I feel so much lighter. You’ve taught me so many skills and ways to keep my head above water and I’m truly grateful and will continue to use these daily. I feel complete and comfortable with moving forward with my life.

I’m so grateful for everything you have done for me, I’ve learned so much about myself. You are an incredible coach and a good friend.

Continue being the light for so many people, there needs to be more people like you on this planet.

Thank you and God bless.’

‘Before I started my life coaching with Ray I was having difficulties in maintaining a constant level of happiness and stability in my family life. I was also experiencing difficulties with focusing at work and maintaining a steady level of discipline.

When faced with the normal daily challenges of fatherhood I was often angry and reactive at home and I was not the Dad or husband that I knew I could be. I would often be filled with regret for how I had shown anger rather than love and compassion, particularly toward my children who are the most precious part of my life.

With the work I have learnt from Ray and the guidance from him I have grown over a period of 12 months to become a happier and steadier father and husband. I am more aware of my ego and what drives my reactivity so I can be in a position of greater choice when I respond to my environment. I grew aware of how my children weren’t being naughty, they just wanted my attention. I woke up to how I was demanding my children and others to be how I wanted them to be and not respecting them for who they are. I was just expecting unrealistic things.

With the help of Ray and his life coaching I have fostered a more loving, understanding approach to my children and my wife and this changed how they respond to me too. I have less guilt or regret with how I respond in the family home and we are happier and calmer.

I have also learned to manage my time more effectively timely at work which has meant I actually have more free time as I can finish work earlier. I am very grateful for these changes in my life.

Ray truly lives and breathes the principles and disciplines that he teaches and he speaks anecdotally and authentically about how the work has transformed his own life and those that his life has touched. It is very inspiring to hear his own life stories and to know that those changes are there for anyone else to benefit from if they choose to walk that path of mindfulness and gratitude.

Over the 12 months programme I have found Ray to be open, honest and authentic and understanding of my personal challenges during the year. He is personal and pleasant and at the same time holds a very professional firmness were needed to guide me through my own barriers and challenges.

I found him to be very professional and reliable turning up on time every week and providing me with descriptive summary reports of my sessions within 24 hours. These reports were integral for my own work in between sessions to enhance my understanding and practices of daily meditation, mindfulness, positive affirmations, challenging thinking errors and many other practices which have all had a positive impact on my life.

Everyone’s experience of life is unique and the ways they could benefit from life coaching is this so. However, I would recommend Ray to anyone who thinks they can be more and get more from their own lives.

Thank you Ray for being a big part of my happier future!’
— Peter, 43
‘I cannot thank Ray enough for the help he has given me. It made such a difference. I was really struggling with anxiety and stress. As a working mum of four children I found it hard to find balance in my life. I didn’t feel I was doing good enough. I felt overwhelmed. Ray helped me to see things differently, to slow down and to focus properly on one thing at a time. Learning Mindfulness meditation gave me the skills to have more control and to function better. I struggled to fall asleep but a quick meditation along breathing techniques has completely solved this problem. I do it every night without fail. I also use this to relax and focus on the next task when I’m really busy. I’m still learning Mindfulness and I try to apply it in different areas of my life on a daily basis. It is an ongoing process but it’s really worth it for the benefits you get’.
— Emma, 42
‘Working with Ray has helped to change my life’s direction. Before, I was prone to stress and anger. I was worried about the future and regretful about the past. I didn’t feel in control of my emotions or my life. I guess I was a bit lost.

Ray has helped me to find a way out of that. The daily practices and the simple processes he walks you through have helped me to find a way back to a calmer, happier and more authentic version of myself. I know myself far better now and I know what my direction my life will take, and I know its course . It would not have been possible without Ray’.
— Tom, 41
Before working with Ray I was feeling very stressed. It was very difficult to identify the triggers and I used to get annoyed very easily. It was difficult to understand why people around me couldn’t understand me. I had a lot of responsibility, which was such a burden that I felt anguish and desperation most days. Daily chores seemed to be controlling me and I felt things were out of control.

The main problems I was facing were constant irritability, lack of patience, low tolerance, high levels of stress, lack of empathy towards others and not being able to find a space for myself.

Before starting my coaching programme with Ray, I was trying to relax by doing exercises, breathing and analysing the root of problem. But it didn’t go well as most of the time it is too difficult to see things clearly from the outside, as an observer. We believe everything we do is right and as human beings we make the same mistakes again and again.

To be honest before doing this coaching programme, I didn’t have much faith in life coaching. I thought I could always find a solution myself to any problem but the reality is that sometimes it is not possible without the right tools and the knowledge to move forward.

Working with Ray marked a before and after in my life. I have now adopted a new way to evaluate situations with a calmer mind, using effective tools and methods. With this new approach I can manage my stress effectively and I react in a more positive way to find solutions instead of falling into mental blocks and negative thinking.

Everyday we should be grateful to God and appreciate what we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have in our lives. Sometimes we are not mindful of what we are experiencing in the present moment yand we operate in default mode. By doing this we miss out completely the beauty of life and the new opportunities that present to us.

Nowadays it is almost impossible to find peace in our lives. We live mistrusting other people. It is important to create awareness of our lives in order to live in a more positive way.

I would recommend Ray of Light Coaching Services because very often it is very difficult to evaluate ourselves or to acknowledge our errors in an objective way. Sometimes we need someone else to help see where we are going in our journey and to guide us like a true friend that cares about giving good advice. Very often the mirror you use to look at your self is a bit opaque. Doing a coaching programme with Ray is like cleaning this mirror to make it shine and clear again in order to help you to raise your consciousness and see things clearly.
— Flor, 47
Ray’s coaching service came to my life in a crucial moment. Before working with him, I felt a bit lost and under a lot pressure. Thanks to the tools and information provided I was able to find light and clarity.

Now I feel very grateful everyday and I go to bed with great satisfaction on a daily basis. I make the most of my time and I value it immensely. I make sure I take time to dedicate for myself (e.g. to meditate) and in return I feel good with myself for doing so.

I’m forever grateful with Ray and I wish he keeps doing such a wonderful job as a Coach to help others to improve the quality of their lives!
— Danielle, 26
‘Before working with Ray of Light, I was very stressed and with not much clarity to solve simple problems that in the past had not affected me. This caused me to feel very anxious.

My main problems were suffering from stress on a daily basis due to starting different projects at work at the same time combined with being unable to concentrate, take care of myself, my family and my mental health. I literally felt I was ‘drowning in a glass of water’.

Before working with Ray I had tried almost everything: doing lots of exercise to relax, going on a holiday (which was the worse holiday I ever had in my life) and to put some projects on stand by. Unfortunately, these strategies didn’t work. It was at that point I realised that I needed help to improve my health and my inner peace. I couldn’t do it alone. At the beginning I was not convinced about Life Coaching. But after trying everything I could on my own without any success I realised I needed professional help with a person that can guide me during the entire process. I had nothing to lose by giving it a go.

I realised that none of these efforts gave me the results I was looking for because I didn’t have any guidance or a person to help me during this process. Most of the time we copy what we see in Social Media or in the Internet (e.g. self help videos) but most of the time this doesn’t work because we don’t have real guidance from an experienced person that can provide a bespoke solution like Ray does.

After completing a coaching programme with Ray I feel much much better. I’ve been able to improve my focus and to complete all my work. I have also been able to spend more quality time with my family. Ray has provided the information and tools I need to take action on my own.

I would recommend Ray of Light’s services to any person that wants to make improvements in their professional and personal life. His coaching programmes are designed in such a personalized way that it’s ideal for any person who wants to make a positive change in his or her life.’
— Stefano, 44
‘Ray is an excellent listener and a natural coach. He asks empowering questions and helped me discover what I really want and what is getting in my way. From there we developed an action plan. Ray’s guidance and supportive energy helped me to continue moving forward in my life. I always felt uplifted and motivated to achieve my goals after our sessions!

Thanks Ray.’
— Katherine, 44
‘Before working with Ray, I didn’t really believe in Life Coaching, Mindfulness, etc. But I always believed in him, as I know Ray personally and professionally for approximately 20 years.

I agree with him when he told me once that his coaching programmes are designed for anyone who wants to make positive changes in any area, anyone that is hungry to grow, anyone who is looking for more and fulfil their full potential.

Ray taught me to see a different perspective of the same situation, how to understand it and how to face it successfully. He also taught me to have more confidence in my skills and capabilities and to focus on them.

He has helped me to help my loved ones, and to be able to do this makes me really happy.

I feel reborn at 46 years. Like a one year old baby with 45 years of experience! I really feel unstoppable like a F14 Tomcat.

Thanks for everything Ray.’
— Luis, 46
‘Over the past few sessions with Ray I have recognised how to overcome fears and mind-sets that have been present for many years. Ray has allowed to talk openly and give honest feedback around the tools which will be helpful for me and how to break down aspects of my challenges. I now own them and can face them with positivity. Mindfulness meditation has opened my eyes to a calmer world. Thank you Ray’.
— George, 30
‘Ray taught me the skills to acknowledge and to stop emotionally eating. I failed at multiple diets in the past. He taught me what I could never have learnt alone! Fantastic experience that will stay with me for life thanks to his detailed summaries of sessions.’
— Michelle, 39
‘Lockdown made me develop anxiety to a point where I couldn’t see the point of anything anymore. A friend booked me a free discovery session with Ray of Light Coaching Services. Within only four weeks I ‘ve mastered how to apply the tools to look around and think positively. One step at a time.’
— Gary, 40
‘Some months ago, I was facing a very difficult time in my life. Ray was literally a ray of light in a moment of darkness. He helped me to sort myself out and to find balance in different areas of my life. He also helped me to create new habits that have helped me to improve my health, to improve my reactions, to break from some limiting beliefs and to achieve objectives I considered impossible for me. Because of this, my self-confidence has improved and I realise that I can achieve things that I once thought were out of my reach. Thank you Ray for being part of my life, for being really interested in my wellbeing and for dedicating time and effort to helping me grow…you couldn’t choose a better name for your company as you truly are a Ray of Light.’
— Isehl, 35
‘I began to have one-to-one sessions with Ray in August 2020. I had been suffering from anxiety for years and had tried every kind of help from medication to multiple therapies. Therefore, I had come to accept that I would continue to live a life of extreme worry, stress and overwhelming anxious thoughts.

The problem was that every time I felt I could cope with those feelings, they became greater and more overwhelming than before. It all came to a head when in December 2019 my husband and I began to try for our second child (eight years after having our first child). In July 2020 there was still no sign of a baby and I was crying everyday and felt unable to carry on with normal everyday tasks.

I came to friend for help and she suggested having a Discovery Session with Ray. The first meeting was challenging emotionally, because I realised how much these feelings were taking over every part of my life. However, by the end of the first meeting with Ray, I felt like I had a new energy for tackling these emotions.

Over three months after my first meeting with Ray I honestly feel like a different person.

I used to get anxious just being alone at home with my thoughts. I used to lay in bed some days and feel unable to cope with everyday tasks. I used to let emotions overwhelm me and this affected my family. However, today I can say I don’t have anxiety! I still have worrying thoughts about things in life that everyone gets worried about. But, I now know how to overcome them and how to not allow those thoughts to control my life.

This is an ongoing process and some days are better than others. Ray is always there to help no matter what day you are having.

Finally, thanks to Ray my husband and I are finally expecting our second child. I truly believe this is because Ray enabled me to feel calmer than I have ever done in life, by making me realise that living in the present is what’s most important in life. By living in the present you appreciate what you have now and not worry about the past or stress about a future, which hasn’t happened yet.

I will never be able to thank Ray enough for what he is done for me and my family.’
— Charlotte, 27
‘Ray of Light helped me to tell the truth to myself. It was emotional but easy to do with Ray’s gentle, compassionate manner. It was liberating. I can now identify when I have a mental blocks, limiting beliefs and most importantly I can identify emotional and mental health triggers. Thank you always.’
— Michael, 43
‘After many failed attempts to lose weight I contacted Ray of Light Coaching Services. I weighted 87kg on day 1. Three months later of Ray’s coaching, which I immensely enjoyed (even the tears), I now weight 73kg and I feel younger, prettier and happier. Dare yourself to give it a go!!’
— Annabelle, 38
‘Before working with Ray, I had been going through quite some stormy seas. I had been struggling with a lot of very stressful situations in my life which had a massive impact on my mental state and also my physical state. It was when I noticed my hair was falling out that I decided to seek help!

I am a mother of two and juggling motherhood, and running my own business and all the other personal affairs that I was trying to manage, clearly took its toll on me. One of my main issues was not being able to let go. I became very depressed and would continually go over old traumas and continue to beat myself up and spiral into a pit of self doubt and low esteem. I even started to believe I was a bad mother and a terrible person!
So I decided to take the leap of faith and seek calmer seas!

What Ray has taught me is to be kind to myself and find that love for me once again. I always used to have it but the events I had experienced for many years lead me to forget this very important and powerful tool. To be companionate, firstly to yourself and then to thoughts and feelings and everyone and everything around you. This still is what stays firmly attached in my mind everyday now.
Another very powerful thing he taught me was to forgive yourself, to allow yourself to let go of the past and not look into the future, but to appreciate the now! This was such an eye opener as I had missed so many special and beautiful moments, worrying and wondering about things I had no control over! This is another tool I use every day!!

It is very calming and gratifying to know you can “just let go” and just “be”! Very liberating indeed!

I had exhausted myself and became empty, but the tools Ray gave me and the constant support he offers, gives me confidence in my future of a clearer calmer more certain and positive mind!
He has changed my life. I have told everyone and anyone about my experience with Ray and will always highly recommend seeing him as a Life Coach.

For many years I pondered about CBT, not being sceptical at all as I believe in the power of the mind, but just thought I’d be ok and could handle it by myself. Well guess what? I clearly couldn’t.

I now have more patience generally, and especially with my children. I now see each day clearer and with beauty. I worry a lot less and can reason with thoughts that may pass through. I have much more awareness and feel happier.

This is something I have to practice and work on everyday, but Ray has given me the tools and the understanding that we just need to find a way which fits us. And when you do find that way, you won’t look back!

Thank you Ray.’
