Testimonial for Bridal Radiance Programme

I do not know how I would have enjoyed my wedding day if I had not had Deborah’s help. Although I am a highly organised and energetic individual, juggling a full-time job with all my other activities and then with the addition of the wedding planning, I found I was not coping as well as I had hoped. I started to feel stressed most of the time, was overly worried about the tiniest aspects of the wedding planning and was, in particular, dreading dealing with the family politics. I was very difficult to be around and my fiancé (now husband) really learnt the full horror of the renowned “Bridezilla”! Then a good friend, sensing my stress, recommended Deborah to me.

When I went to Deborah, I was exhausted, extremely highly strung, had the onset of IBS and my skin kept breaking out. I just did not see how I could get through the planning, let alone cope with walking down the aisle in front of 100 people.

Deborah really put me at ease within the first few minutes of stepping through her door, she really understands the pressures a bride feels when planning her perfect day. She was very thorough with all the questions she asked me and I came away feeling as though she really understood me, my lifestyle and the stress I felt.

Initially I was unsure of whether the herbal medicine she gave me really would work as I just could not envisage myself ever being relaxed until the wedding was behind me. However, the medicine was very easy to take- I just popped it in a glass of orange juice with breakfast and supper and I started feeling so different even just after 2 weeks of taking it.

I felt calmer, more relaxed and my head was clearer to be able to make decisions with much more ease. In fact, Deborah enabled me to enjoy the planning process and I strongly believe it helped strengthen my relationship with my fiancé in the lead up to the wedding. When it came to the day itself, my make-up artist commented on how clear my skin was – it had vastly improved since my trial session with her a matter of a few months beforehand. I loved every second of my wedding day and being relaxed and radiant allowed me to concentrate on the most important aspect of the day – marrying the man I love. I cannot thank Deborah enough for all she did for me, and in turn, my husband. We had a really special day, one which I was able to enjoy - our photos speak for themselves.
