Testimonials

“I was just listening to the podcast that you had with Vicky Reeves and I instantly felt the need to send you this email to thank you for all the teachings and experiences you showed me in the Somawise Online Program. I realized what happiness means for me… and it is feeling every emotion and being aware of everything that happens within me at every single moment of my life. I truly believe that this is what LIVING actually means, even when the feelings are not comfortable or “positive. I’ve learned that none will last forever and allowing them to happen settles and integrates them…and that is priceless!

It is absolutely amazing to notice how my body reacts to different stimuli and to be able to notice and to feel everything. With your help I’ve reached a point that I never would have imagined existed. This is the first time in my life I started doing something (therapy, working on myself… with myself ) without having a target or setting a goal and I reached a point that I couldn’t have imagined as a target because I didn’t know it was even possible! Thank you.”

“I found the structure and content of Somawise Online to be really helpful for me in creating a space to reflect on the important aspects of my life, as well as the nuances of building a better relationship with my own body. Learning to cultivate the daily stillness practice has been extremely helpful and this supported the process of returning to myself. Somawise Online helped me meet myself in my vulnerability, and that is truly a very powerful experience. I definitely walk away with more joy and clarity for my future. Thank you.”

”Sessions with Luke are just so complex and intense that are very hard to describe with words. Each session is a rich experience of physical sensations, emotions, beliefs, thoughts, memories, and the space to allow them all to be experienced. I’ve had different forms of therapy over the past 13 years, but the way Luke facilitates Compassionate Inquiry was the one that took me to the deepest hidden caves within my body, allowing me to truly experience all the pain/healing connected with them. I felt really safe, seen, acknowledged, and held, and felt supported in creating the conditions for self-regulation. 

”Before the Somawise course I was really struggling. Chronic pain, restless leg, insomnia, aching joints and various other incredibly frustrating and irritating issues had all reached a point where I literally hated being in my body at times; it was just too uncomfortable to bear.

“Luke is an insightful, kind and gentle practitioner. He worked patiently with me and gave me time to come to my own insights. I found that he met me where I was at and gently guided me through my sadness. He created a very healing space where I felt heard and seen. I feel lots of peace and completeness about my journey and the time I’ve shared with him.”

“Luke is quite simply, extraordinary. I came to him aware of some deeply held limiting beliefs that have dominated most of my life. I couldn’t name them, I couldn’t resolve them on my own, despite trying through various means. Through skilful questioning, gentle prompting, and a deeply compassionate approach, he has been my guide through my inner life – my fears, my limiting beliefs about myself. I continue to see how my past affects my now, and my future. From this awareness and guidance, I am making changes to how I show up in the world in ways that is more heartfelt, genuine, empowered, and – ultimately – happier.  

His call to authentic presence in the now, with a loving regard for the wounds that life has inevitably dealt me, continues to guide and inspire me in my work in leadership development as well as in my personal life. It is not an easy path, but it is gentle and rewarding in ways that are profound and transformative. If you feel the call to make real change in how you do you so that you can be in the world with greater authenticity and presence in the here and now, then Luke is your man.”
