Mel was kind enough to give up her time to work with some of our bright but vulnerable students. We have found that many of our students suffer from stress and anxiety, especially during exam periods. Mel planned a bespoke programme for our kids which was designed to help them manage their emotions when under pressure. The students explored ideas around resilience, happiness and mindfulness. Mel is so personable and her warmth and energy cracked some very difficult characters. The students were engaged and left with an understanding of things that were previously alien to them and the practical skills that they will be able to call upon during a very important time in their lives.

What a fantastic session the Happiness & Motivation workshop was. It was inspiring and uplifting and really makes you sit back and think about how you are spending your time versus how you want to be spending your time. Each one of us took something away from it and our feedback has been great. The trainer Mel is very calming which helped put us all at ease. Would definitely recommend it for personal growth or motivation in the workplace.

We ran a programme of workshops with Luminate in 2018. The workshops were informative, useful, punchy and to the point. We thought Mel was brilliant. She had an interesting and innovative way of presenting the information, she was very knowledgeable on the subjects and was able to provide additional advice and support to staff. After the sessions, many of our staff members sent us feedback on how useful and helpful the sessions were. We will be definitely running more sessions with Luminate. On a personal level, we found working with Mel easy and very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend them.
