It was through a little bit of everyday magic that I became aware of Diana’s work, and after her book arrived I immediately began to read it. I remember being impressed that maybe through her unique approach, I would actually get somewhere.

And it was very exciting because it turned out this was the missing link that I needed! My vision became clarified, and I basically felt a lot more joyful making decisions going forward.”

“I'm a psychoanalyst and I do a lot of presenting. About nine years ago, I started the harp. All the presence, purpose, intention, focus, calm and centeredness that I bring to my life's work somehow didn't come with me to the harp!

Working with Diana helped me bring my life's work confidence to my music. Diana's approach is a template for helping you live into that next creative aspect of your soul that wants to manifest in your life.

No matter where we are on the path of consciousness, no matter where we are on the path of evolving, we all need support. We all need a sense of someone who can give voice to what we know and our deeper psyche soul yet cannot grasp and apply to a particular dimension of our life.

If you want to give expression to something in your life, Diana can help you.”

-Kathleen Wiley, North Carolina

“The great thing about Diana's approach is it can be applied both to your creative life and your personal life. It gives you the tools and skills to allow you to take steps towards achieving your goals.

Diana’s approach literally turns your dreams and inspirations into reality. My creativity and motivation have increased, which has also flowed on to any other creative things that I do like gardening, cooking, exercise, and also to relationships with other people, because you're more motivated and inspired, you're happier. And then that just flows onto your whole life!”

“My background in music was pretty rigid. I was contracted, not able to play in front of people anymore. And then one day I said, that's it, I'm not good enough. And I stopped, until I discovered Diana’s approach.

Diana's approach has been really supportive in so many ways, very gentle to the soul, to the heart, to one's creativity, to one's Artistry. I love that you can be a musician, you can be a storyteller, you can be a dancer, you can be anything and it works! Diana's approach has been brilliant, priceless, and supportive.

I hope if and when you join, it serves you as well as it has for me and even more!”

“I loved my creative work, but I was finding that my motivation to sit down and practice was flagging. And along with it, my creative energy. I Googled "Practice your instrument creative energy," and fortunately for me, a link to Diana's work popped up. I listened to the introductory video and wrote several pages about life with my harp and life without my harp. And I found I had a growing excitement for life with my harp!

Diana's approach is so beautifully organized and -forgive my using this word - sensible! Her system has fed my creative potential in ways I can't even begin to describe in just a few minutes.

I’m very grateful for a rebirth of inspiration in my creative life!”

“I have been a musician for 25 years, and for the past 10, a professional vocalist and vocal teacher. Two years ago I picked up harp, and my teacher suggested I take a look at Diana's approach to add to my practice. I was a little reluctant because I had been in university for seven years and I was feeling like I needed to break from having other voices in my head.

One day I went to my teacher's house and she had one of Diana's videos loaded up on her computer. She said "you just have to watch, just have an open mind!" We watched a video about Centering, and it really spoke to me. Diana's way is really about helping you connect to your Artistry.

I love the sense of collaboration. As a singer, I've often felt like there's a lot of competition instead of collaboration and to meet people who are open is really wonderful.

Right before I started Diana's approach, I applied for an artist-in-residence grant in Ontario. And I was shocked when I was chosen for it - I hadn't been playing harp very long. I was really fortunate that I had started Diana's way before I went because I knew in my mind how I wanted to proceed with things, how I felt connected to my instrument. I felt really grounded.

And there, I discovered my voice as a composer. Since that time I have received a grant from the Ontario arts council to record an album of voice and harp! This new creative approach has really opened up avenues for me and I find myself reinvigorated as a vocalist as well!”

“I was really feeling pretty overwhelmed juggling performance therapy, music therapy, teaching, to the point that I was actually considering just retiring from music completely. I was coming up on 40 years of music as a career.

As a relatively new harper, I think I was also suffering a bit from imposter syndrome, and at the time was not familiar with that term, but I realized now that that's part of what was going on. So I was on the verge of quitting that group and telling them to get a ‘real’ Irish harper!

Then I saw a post from Diana, and at first I feared: “Oh yeah, another self-help group. I'm going to buy a bunch of books and they're going to tell me how great I am and how great this person is, and that will be it.”

I have to say that did prove to be wrong because, from the very beginning, I was able to focus without any pressure. It is truly focused on what I need. Overall, Diana's approach has helped me to look at my own contribution to music for the last 40 years, and still hope to do!

I actually am so motivated to complete projects and goals, and have started so many different things that now I don't even have time to do everything!

I feel like I've been a worthy contributor to music - and in so many aspects of my life - and that I contributed to my students, to my music therapy clients, and to my performance groups.

Before starting to use Diana's approach, I wasn't going to recertify my music therapy degree. But now I've decided I am going to go for another five years. I feel confident that I can still work in that field in a way that compliments what I'm doing. I feel like I've been a more creative teacher and shared more of my own things with them in a way that they've benefited. And I feel much better about the contribution that I have with my Irish trio.

So thank you, Diana, for creating this approach. It has helped me and I feel good about the direction of things right now!”
