Testimonials
Below are just a few of the many testimonials I’ve received over 14 years of teaching!
“Fiona and Kirsty's magical body and soul transforming 5 day liver cleanse - Who would have thought that a 5 day Liver cleanse could be such a joyous, playful, soulful, educational and feminine bonding experience. If you’re looking for a liver cleanse, you would be remiss not to invest in this amazing 5 day liver cleanse. It not only gently detoxifies your liver, but with Fiona and Kirsty's expertise, love and expert guidance you are taken on a total transformational journey of physical, emotional and spiritual healing. I had never done a liver cleanse before, too scared, too complacent, who knows! However, having suffered with severe depressive symptoms over the past 6 months, I knew that my diet and lifestyle needed to change, I was exercising again, but my diet was inconsistent and I was reverting to too many sugary snacks, carbs and processed foods. I desperately needed a body and mind reset and I was hopeful that the cleanse would be a kickstart to a healthier lifestyle, and a way to start alleviating some of my depressive symptoms. My experience was totally transformational, I won’t lie, it was challenging on days 1 and 2, yet by the end of the 5 days I felt that my depressive symptoms had dissipated. The dark veil was lifting and I was truly able to feel joy again. I write this testimonial 5 days after completing the cleanse and I know I have so much more energy and enthusiasm for life. Life has meaning again, it's a wonderful feeling to know that I can feel these emotions again. Fiona is an experienced medical herbalist who was able to support us with the herbal protocol throughout the cleanse and Kirsty is a wonderful Kundalini yoga teacher who supported us with exercises to help with the organs of digestion and detoxification. They managed to weave together a phenomenal complementary mixture of practises during the cleanse. Fiona also taught us about the liver and herbs which support the liver as well as guiding us through a group session of EFT & Matrix Reimprinting.We also had daily infra red sauna sessions and education about what to do after the cleanse. Furthermore, each evening group sessions was held in the incredible EESystem studio. The amazing EEsystem seemed to have a positive impact on all those who attended. I know, I truly felt a positive healing energy from my time spent in the EEsystem studio and will definitely be investing in more sessions. Fiona and Kirsty brought so much positive energy, laughter and love to all the sessions. The intimate group of 5 lovely women bonded so well despite not knowing each other before the detox journey. Fiona and Kirsty held the healing space so beautifully and this in turn led all of us to relax, bond and share in the positive energy, and I felt part of a wonderful, joyous sisterhood, with time for all of us to share, reflect and ask questions and learn from not only Fiona and Kirsty but each other. There was also ongoing support and information provided via a group what's app. This was a really positive platform where Kirsty and Fiona shared so much information. This also allowed everyone to check in and support one another throughout the process and get additional support from Kirsty and Fiona if needed. I can honestly say that Fiona and Kirsty are truly amazing women, I am honoured and so, so grateful to have experienced their wisdom and loving kindness throughout the Liver Cleansing experience and I am also so grateful to the group, I couldn't have wished for a more beautiful and lovely group of SiSTARS to share this experience with. I have learnt so much and I am so full of gratitude and know this reset has set me on the road to healing :) XXXXX" Sarah May 2025
“What a lovely treat last week was. I learnt so much — about so many things — I can’t even begin to write it all down. There were powerful shares, laughter, and tears… I feel totally reset, and inspired to get fitter and healthier again. Thank you so much for everything — for the love I felt from you all. Doing Kundalini again was wonderful, Kirsty. It’s a challenging practice, but so amazing — I’d forgotten just how much energy it unlocks.”
Mandy, May 2025
“The timing of this liver cleanse was perfect for me. I needed structure, connection, and a well-held space to help me move forward at a challenging time — and what I received was so much more. The yoga, breath, mantras, and movement helped me reconnect to my whole physical body, which was deeply empowering. I’ve tried yoga before, but often felt on the sidelines due to a physical disability. Working with Kirsty was a completely different experience. She brings such light and joy. I laughed true, belly laughs — the kind that only come when I feel completely safe. She is a humble, fun master who held space with love and inclusion. I felt supported, respected, and deeply connected. As we practiced in a small group of impressive women, my ‘I can’t’ quietly turned into ‘I can’. I now feel empowered with yoga practices and movements I can continue at home — and this is a gift beyond measure. Words don’t do it justice. Kirsty is a master of her craft, gently guiding her participants through subtle layers of being, helping them step into the beautiful vitality she herself radiates. Fiona’s EFT session on the final day brought another layer of healing — allowing me to connect with emotions and affirm my desire to enjoy life with vitality. Her presence was thoughtful and attentive, offering individualised support with care and insight. The Hummingbird Healing Studio felt intimate, nurturing, and deeply connective. Fiona and Kirsty held the group with ease, flexibility, and wisdom. I’m sure every participant had their own unique highlights — these were mine. With love and gratitude”

“Kirsty & Fiona made magic happen last week for the liver cleanse journey I was part of. I was so blown away with the attention to detail and wasn’t expecting all the advice, support and extras Fiona shared every day. I was able to really trust the process with their guidance and the yoga/EES/sauna was the icing on the cake every day. I feel totally renewed and appreciate my body even more now after learning so much about the liver and what it does. It was a powerful week that I’m still integrating even now. The small group of wonderful women were so supportive and loving too. A special week. Much love beauties 🙏🏼”
Rowan, May 2025
“I have a deep gratitude for this beautiful, physical and emotional experience. The ‘detox to radiance ‘week was wonderful: the way it brought me back to my inner silence, my self-love, being in contact with me, myself… and offered my body a chance to cleanse and reset. Everything was perfect - The setting, the venue, the detox and yoga programme and the people. Kirsty and Fiona provide a gentle blend of professional sensitive, powerful guidance and deep knowledge. They are living examples of choosing health, well-being and connection with nature. And with the group I felt I was leaving people I had known for much longer than 5 days. Thank you all for the positive energies and support. I look forward to returning for a future retreat. Blessings: May the long time sun shine upon you all……always x” Julie B, May 2025

“I arrived exhausted. I left relaxed and exhilarated... So much fun, so connected and loving... Everyone contributing their light and energy... Kirsty and Carolyn have such different, yet exquisitely complimentary, teaching styles! I love the music, the shared wisdom, the cacao ceremony and the food... The villa was a great choice too! I think I am an official groupie now! I can't wait for the next retreat! My nervous system has settled... And even a week later, I'm feeling the benefits of five day retreat! Thank you. From all of my heart...”

“I was blown away by Kirsty's yoga retreat. It was at an amazing location in Portugal, with a beautiful group of people and very yummy nutritious food. Kirsty was so brilliant at taking us deeply and nourishingly into the practice of Kundalini Yoga, as well as offering lots of free time so you felt like you were also on holiday. It was such an amazing balance and combination of yoga and holiday relaxation. I had never been on a Kundalini yoga retreat before, but Kirtsy offered a range of suggestions for all abilities which felt very warm and inclusive. The whole retreat was so nourishing and warm hearted. Kirsty is such a bright light and inspiring soul, I would highly recommend gifting yourself a wonderful experience of one of Kirsty's retreats. She has such a gift to create the most beautiful experience. Thank you Kirsty, I feel so much more rested, relaxed and in touch with myself again, just what i needed!”
Fleur, June 2024
"This is a fabulous retreat with a perfect balance of yoga and free time. Kirsty's Kundalini teaching is exceptional allowing an opportunity to immerse yourself in transformation. The free time spent down at the beach and exploring the beautiful town of Lagos. The food is amazing, nutritious and tasty. All spent with a group of lovely people. The place is stunning with at least 2 acres of landscaped garden, birds, ponds and a pool in the centre."
Martha, June 2024
"Absolutely amazing experience. Just what my body, mind and spirit needed. Stunning location with beautiful garden full of wildlife. Yoga was delightful and lifted my soul. The group are incredible beings with so much love, kindness and peace. Food was divine, music was uplifting. I loved it sooooo much and am so sad it's coming to an end. Please save me a space for next year. So much love."
Roisin, June 2024
“I attended the June 2024 Yoga retreat in Portugal. I was nervous beforehand because I have recently found movement more challenging due to stiffening as I have gotten older. I found however that the twice daily sessions of Kundalini Yoga were just what my mind and body needed. Kirsty led the sessions brilliantly and with compassion. I was able to do the vast majority of the movements and Kirsty always offers an alternative position if someone struggles with a particular posture. By the end of the week my body felt so much better, almost as if I was 5 years younger! The food was marvellously crafted by Chef Julie, it was interesting, filling and above all nutritious. The location was superb, quiet and with comfortable rooms, vast gardens, a dedicated Yoga space and a cooling swimming pool. The beach was close enough to walk to, a large supermarket 5 minutes stroll away and town nearby (but not too nearby). There were 14 of us on the retreat and we all quickly gelled as a group and I would happily go on retreat with them again.”
Alistair, June 2024

“I’m so grateful to you and your life changing classes!”
Nectaria
“Since my first Kundalini Yoga class with Kirsty I have been absolutely hooked! I was completely new to Kundalini yoga and was unsure about what to expect. Kirsty has such a warm nature and makes you feel nothing but welcomed and supported right from the start, her teaching is clear informative and concise. A great part of this class is each week is new Kriya which is great for people like me with short attention spans as it keeps you engaged and nothing becomes repetitive. Tuesday has officially become my favourite day of the week at the end of every class I leave feeling calmer, more positive and more in tune with myself physically, mentally and emotionally. It makes you feel great!”
Carly
“Attending Kirsty’s kundalini yoga class has been transformational, my only regret is that I did not find her sooner.
Kirsty radiates such positive energy that no matter how I feel before a class, I always leave uplifted and energised.
Thank you so much Kirsty for changing my life.”
Wendy
“Kirsty runs a relaxed, fun, supportive class. She has so much information about Kundalini yoga, the background and the specific impact of the individual exercises on the body and mind. This helps to understand some of the practices that you’d be less likely to come across if you’ve previously practiced other forms of yoga. The classes are challenging in all the right ways. I feel I get a great workout, without the atmosphere being in any way competitive. I highly recommend the class to anyone, no matter their experience levels.”
Gemma
“Absolutely amazing class. I have never done anything quite like this before (have done yoga) so was a bit nervous. Kirsty is an incredible teacher who holds the space brilliantly. I can’t wait until next week!”
Rachel
“I would definitely recommend Kirsty’s classes, she has a warm, caring and fun approach which allows you to feel supported, I have done quite a bit of yoga but Kundalini is my favourite it’s so powerful and when I leave my body feels like its smiling. I also wanted to share that Kirsty and her teachings of Kundalini yoga provided me with guidance and strength when I was going through a difficult personal experience, this practice is so powerful and I just love her classes.”
Emily
“Kundalini Yoga with Kirsty is definitely a highlight of the week…. I feel so nurtured and held, so energised and also deeply mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually relaxed and connected all at once. Kirsty’s gentle wise way of being is just what I need on a Tuesday evening!”
Hazel
“Kirsty is bright and zingy and a pleasure to be around. She is also passionate, committed and knowledgeable in her yoga instruction – I recommend her class.”
