The Heart of Joy

Quotes about Diane's work and her approach

“Thank you so much for the Working from the Heart Workshop that I attended last weekend. It has helped me so much, on so many levels. I don’t know anyone else who offers such a wonderful blend of profound yet very practical wisdom, and spiritual inspiration.”
— Julie Wakefield

“…– strong yet gentle, from the heart and tinged with an undercurrent of good humour. You have a welcome sensitivity to individual need and are a great listener, healing in itself – I am always cheered in your company and reassured by your quiet wisdom and strong support and encouragement.”
— Michael V

“ Like having a blank canvas upon which I could paint whatever I chose. Try it for yourself…. it is YOU who decides what you want out of life.”
— F.A., health coach

“… Seeing Diane is refreshing and freeing as she seems to work in such a different way: trusting the universe and her intuition rather than rules and rationality….With most people this would be too much for me but there is something down to earth about Diane that allows me to be curious about and interested in her perceptions rather than just writing them off. I have actually began to prefer the spirit and energy work that we do together to the NLP based techniques which are more familiar to me (and which Diane weaves into her shamanistic work).

“A by-product of my work with Diane is that it has helped open me up to feeling and using energy in my psychotherapeutic work and even to begin to get a sense for communicating with other spirits.
Diane is a warm, friendly, giving, grounded and aware person who will bring all of her resources to bear in service of others. If you are open to working spiritually (even if only a little bit) then I would recommend giving Diane a call.”
— Richard E Evans-Lacey, Psychotherapist

“Faced with a number of challenges at once I had started to feel overwhelmed and out balance in my self. ‘Mama' Kutz made me feel calm, relaxed and able to think more clearly. As we talked through the various challenges I faced she listened intently, helping me to reconnect with myself. I finished our session with a sense of lightness and energy that stayed with me for several days. Crucially Mama Kutz has shown me how to stay in touch with the sense of who I am, what I have to offer and what I'd like to receive in to my life.”

“Diane is an inspirational and motivational coach who challenged me to identify my full potential in all areas of my life, review my career goals and helped me enormously to have the courage to take the step that I needed to take, that is to change my job. I did exactly this and during my six-month quest gave another direction to my working-life, she supported me and inspired self-belief to help me actually achieve my goals. With spending more time on my other interests and changing the working environment I did not need to fix my career.

“My personal and working life has found a new, worthwhile, balance. One more step will complete the process and this is moving to a different, geographical area in my quest to find the quality of life that want. I could not be happier with my choices.

“While being a charismatic and inspiring person, Diane has a listening soul and ability to understand and help define the big picture of your goals. She is also able to break down the steps needed to achieve these goals and give practical and insightful advice on how to take that all important first step towards your goal, whether it be defining your career direction, realising personal goals and achievements or resolving family and relationship conflict.

“Life coaching, acceptance and listening are second nature to Diane, and I would strongly recommend her if you are looking someone to support, mentor and inspire you on your life journey.”
— J-P G (previously international director sales for global IT/ telecoms companies, now pursuing photography and driving instruction career)

“Through working with Diane, I became aware that my biggest challenge, and the one I have been skirting around for some time now, is to let go of my ego and surrender to the power of the universe. I have not completed that yet, but regard myself as a work in progress. The impact has been that I am following my instinct in creating direction, and enjoying the synchronous events that are happening around me, all of which are helping me move towards letting go of my protective ego. I am enjoying a phase of clarity and focus which has not been available to me for several months. Diane’s contribution, in a very gentle and powerful way, has been to enable me to connect with my soul and seek its guidance, rather than lumber on, out of focus, thinking I know what is best.”
