Fifteen years ago we felt it important to engage Carolyn as our Health and Fitness professional to advise our employees on all aspects of lifestyle management. To this day she remains an integral and very important part of our organisation. Carolyn's dedication to her job and commitment to our company's health policy is self evident and she is well known and well respected by all who come in to contact with her.
Her caring nature and professionalism is second to none. She is a great asset to our organisation. I would not hesitate in recommending her to companies who are looking to offer a similar programme to their employees.”

Co owned a Cyber Cafe for Public Computer Training situated in the student heartland of Swansea.
Recommendation - 'Tim Raine, Senior Land Manager, Land Development and Legal Services,WDA.Cardiff Client
'Because of an earlier presentation made by her to the West Wales Chamber of Commerce I invited Carolyn to take the opening session of an away day for my department. The intention was to improve interaction between all levels of staff to produce a team result. From the very first Carolyn worked on that objective and even went to the extent of visiting the office to see how people interacted, how the workplace functioned and even where they sat. On the day she was able to translate her research into positive actions in her presentation, spotting the 'stars' in the group and using them to bring out the less outgoing members. As a result, the rest of the day became very productive. I can only commend her interpersonal skills and understanding of group behaviour as first class.”
