- After not being completely comfortable with the first day of your seminar I wondered if I could reach my goal at all.
- An exceptionally heavy workload, being a workaholic and a perfectionist with a stress level “out of control”, resulted in not only physical and mental exhaustion, but contributed to my first major car accident in 37 years of driving.
- Before my mum died she told me 2 things about her PP (incidentally, she had to learn PP from your book as she was never well enough to attend a seminar, so the book must be very good. I don't think she even used a tape!).
- By participating in a seminar conducted by Sandy two years ago, I deliberately chose to use the power of my subconscious mind.
- CALM is the only program I've done that I can initiate with ease and feel the benefits.
- Coincidence or not? I am often called on to extract blood from a "difficult" donor
- Firstly I would like to thank you for providing a place for growth and understanding to develop.

- I first came across your book "Students Steps to Success" in October last year in the library.
- I had a car accident 2 days ago, and although there was a great deal of damage to mine as well as two other cars involved, myself and 2 of my children were not seriously hurt.

- I have been experiencing some wonderful things in my PP
- I have enjoyed and gained so much from your books Piece of Mind, Switch on to Your Inner Strength, and your many inspirational tapes.
- I have now convinced myself that I have the power to control my level of nervousness with PP relaxation and subconscious input.
- I have read most books by Edward deBono and Tony Buzan, but you Sandy in your book Piece of Mind for the first time for me, bring the subject down to a practical level applied to daily life - or learning.

- Thought I should pass on a quick endorsement.
- We greatly appreciated you coming to Picton recently to present your extremely stimulating seminar.
- Well, it’s a week since the seminar and I thought I would let you know how it is all going for me.
- What's in it for me? At the end of the day I feel great.
- Your CALM course has given me a wealth of knowledge I appreciate so very much.
- As it is now three months since I did my workshop with you, I thought I would write and tell you how my life has changed.
- going to my PP and addressing my subconscious mind directly
- I have changed the way I have spoken to myself
- I lost 6 kg. in 4 weeks, and my blood pressure dropped to normal after using PP - after having high blood pressure all my life I'm ecstatic!
- Just thought you would like a little bit of feedback on your weight release CD. After we spoke on the phone and you said
- My weight release goal is on its way to being achieved
- Your seminar made me aware that a far more powerful tool was available - going to my PP and addressing my subconscious mind directly.
