Young Vibes Avis 

Incredible programme, amazing coaches who support you every step of the way. My daughter has gained her confidence and love for life back after very dark times. Cannot thank Sam, Hannah, Milly, India and the rest of the team enough. Looking forward to moving on to the next stage and seeing my girl happy and enjoying life again

Completing this Young Vibes program is the best thing I have ever done in my life. It is more than life changing. My son keeps asking me now when and where are we going on holiday soon. This is a 360 game changer for him and me.
This program is completely counter intruitive and not what society tells us. That's why it work!
Thank you to the amazing young vibes team.

I was a bit reticent to join, not knowing what it was, so was pleased to be offered a free 7 days. Those days alone changed my outlook significantly. There IS hope. There IS another way!

Our child had been suffering with anxiety, not sleeping, not attending school and self harming. We have tried various theraphys and nothing worked. After 4 weeks on the program we are starting to get them back. The house is calmer and they are sleeping better. They want to spend time with us and not just hide in their room. Sam's videos and Hannah's zooms with the other parents really made a HUGE difference in understanding how to use the tools they teach you.

My husband and I have been on the course for 5 weeks now, and the change that we have seen in our daughter already has given us hope that we can finally get her back to being the happy, confident, strong 14 year old that she used to be before anxiety set in. After trying 3 different therapists, GP, medication and CAHMS, nothing was helping and our amazing girl was just getting worse, we were at our wits end! Then we came across young vibes, and thought, we’ve tried everything else, let’s give this a go and I am so glad we did! We have learned so much already and still have much more to go, but our family life is so much calmer and happier and I’m looking forward to the next step 😊

I am just finished the 1st part of the course and it's been a very enlightening journey so far and I am super excited to be moving to the next stage.

My son like many others would quite easily be given some labels - ADHD / ASD / PDA etc however, it is very clear to me now that the root cause of his symptoms stems from anxiety and the stresses that go with it and no official label in the world is going genuinely help him past a superficial level.

I have also wondered in the past if I have similar labels but again, can now clearly see that it is at its root cause an anxiety disorder. I never used to think I was an anxious person and thought I was just a bit excitable, flighty, a catastrophiser at times and that my high levels of shyness in my younger years was just a personality trait but from what I have learned, it is again clear to me what has been driving all of these things, stemming from some childhood trauma.

And this in itself has helped me understand at a deep level why my son has been struggling - partly due to an imprint of my own overstimulated nervous system combined with my behaviour and approach with him (the walking on eggshells referred to a lot is very apt).
I have done a lot of healing myself before this point and a lot of work around my own nervous system regulation but this course has been the final piece of the jigsaw for us and the behavioural (mine) elements have been a real eye opener and by tweaking some things, have seen a real difference in the home and between me and my boy.

My current vibe - feeling optimistic, excited and so grateful for this course. It is a lot of outside the box thinking which I love and is refreshing (especially as it works) and further confirms to me that a lot of the typical mainstream systems and support are just not fit for purpose and sadly so many children will never recover when its relied upon.

The videos are so easy to follow, enjoyable and I love Sam (and her teams) energy, enthusiasm and ability to keep things real. Keep up the amazing work! xx 🙏

We joined the programme as our child was having difficulties attending school, we have just completed the first part and have received so much help and support, especially from Hannah, parent coach in the zoom meetings.
We feel more relaxed and hopeful than we have in a long time and I would recommend this programme to anyone with an anxious child or a child who is struggling at school.

I am in the program for the second time. The first time I did not finish due to personal reasons. However, after a few weeks I noticed amazing changes in our lives. My daughter who was completely isolated from the world slowly started to come out of her pit. And this is only because of the change in my behavior (because she has not started her portal yet). She still struggles with social anxiety which results in her refusal to go to school. But I know we are in good hands and since there is nothing left of this scared, rud, constantly screaming and unhappy teenager after only a few weeks, what will happen when she finishes her portal? I really can't wait to do the next step and I truly believe in what this wonderful team is doing. Hannah you are amazing and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the advice on the zoom session. I highly recommend it to all scared parents.

Myself and my husband decided to join Young Vibes as our child has been suffering from social anxiety and school refusal. We were at our wit's end and had completely run out of ideas on how we could help her. Since completing Bee and Dragonfly we have learned so much about anxiety and the effects it has on our body and mind, and how our behaviour and being in the pit with our daughter amplifies the situation. We are learning more every day and we are looking forward to seeing more positive changes ahead as we go further through the programme.

We started the program in January after our son, who is 10, refused overnight in early December to go back to school and then affected all of his other activities. It was a shock as he had never missed school unless unwell. But since the beginning of the school year he was struggling more due to various causes (we are also waiting ADHD assessment). This program is the only place where we have been explained how anxiety works. Our son and our family life has improved already a lot since december, we are doing lots of things together. So we are looking forward to what is to come. The zoom meetings are invaluable to share experiences and get anwsers for day to day struggles (which again we didn't get anywhere else). Regarding the question of qualifications, when did passion stopped being important? and don't you get qualifications when you learn about a specific topic?Our son's teacher has qualifications and still she is a big part of the anxiety...the therapists we saw had qualifications and still our son didn't feel like talking to them and they didn't explain or answer any questions. So I recommend to give it a try, you get more for your money.

Important to know... you are in safe and experienced hands when you join this programme! It delivers, without question, the changes it confidently describes. We have completed the first section of this programme and it totally transformed in days our energy, focus and stress levels in the home. This is without doubt the best thing we have done, and we have tried a lot of things over many years.

This programme is extremely well thought-out. The illuminating information from Sam's stirring videos about anxiety and physiology and the parents zoom sessions combine to arm you with knowledge, guidance and solid, practical advice. Parent coaching has been delivered with warmth and focus by the extremely skilled, experienced and professional Hannah. The generosity of the scores of parents sharing this experience on the calls also provides learning and community. It is an active and positive experience which gives you your sense of agency and optimism back.

In value for money terms, no intervention for anxiety we have tried has delivered close to this. The access to learning materials is excellent and level and amount of tailored support you can call on is fantastic. The platform and tech delivering the activity functions really well and is easy to navigate. Best of all, it is one organisation delivering the whole package to both parents and children. Joined up thinking at its finest!

We will now embark on the next element of our programme. We have ultimate confidence we are in the right place for our children at last and that we can do the work required and face the challenges ahead. Sam and the Young Vibes Team, thank you for your tenacity, passion and conviction in getting this programme out to people who need it. You are exactly who you say you are.

If you are a parent of a child with anxiety...when everybody tells you to 'do something for you', do this. Best bit of 'self-care' we've ever done, with real results!!!

We’re part way through the program and things are changing for our whole family.

We’ve just/ finally completed the stage where the children are introduced to the programme and watch videos to learn about their anxiety. Our daughter is now at school most days and taking the tube there herself. Recovery certainly isn’t linear, but every day feels like we’re moving in the right direction- and we are so far from where we started (school refusal, self harm, binge/ purging) so things are positive! The best part for me is being able to remain calm when things seem to go backwards and not allowing myself to get ‘in the pit’ with her!

I have just completed Bee and I knew a lot about anxiety but this was next level information delivered in such a way that made so much sense. It made me realise all the ways in which my behaviour would have contributed to my daughter feeling worse, thank heavens for this program, because the behaviour and atmosphere has shifted. There is a Gap in the system for children and parents and this provides the missing pieces of information and strategies to actually see change and shifts at home with your child. I highly recommend the program and I am super excited for phase 2 and how my daughter is going to blossom and change as a result. :) Thank you so much Young Vibes.

We are about a third of the way in to the programme and have learnt so much already. We couldn't have carried on the way things were going. Our house had become a very tense, upsetting and shouty place to be, it was affecting all of us. We needed to change something and so far this has been extremely helpful in getting us to see where we were going wrong, to reset and regroup. Our daughter is much more calmer, is more rational in her thinking and I have learnt how my anxieties have filtered down to impact her. I have also learnt not to talk to her in a way that treated her like she was a toddler (I will save that silly voice for the dog and the cat).

Hannah's zoom calls are so, so interesting and helpful and the group calls make you feel like you are not alone and not the only family going through this.

Members of staff at our daughter's school told us this company were "under investigation", that they were "preying on vulnerable and desperate parents". Rubbish. I don't care if they are under investigation (I don't think that's even true), we have only had positive experiences and results so far and cannot wait to continue with what's next. We have spent a great deal less money on this program than if we were paying for a counsellor, which our daughter would NEVER have engaged with, certainly not the way she was feeling at the time everything was escalating.

It is not an overnight fix and it needs dedication and an open mind, but from our experience, it has all been worth it, even up to this point.

I have completed the Bee section of the programme and have found it extremely useful and reassuring. I now have the understanding, tools and hope that my daughter can recover from crippling anxiety.
Hannah’s zoom calls have been supportive and constructive and have given me the courage to implement changes in my approach.
I look forward to my daughter receiving support as she joins the programme.

Just completed bee and Dragonfly and I have developed a deeper understanding of anxiety, causes and adrenaline. This has helped me support our child. The zoom sessions are great and they make you realise that there are lots of other families going through similar challenges. The advice on shifting behaviours is helpful and we can see a difference. Looking forward to next stage.

The programme is a very powerful one in that it creates a whole new perspective on parenting. Without knowing it, I began to see how my own anxiety was adding fuel to the fire. Understanding that dynamic has been key to the possibility of a more hopeful future. The course is run incredibly well. The coaches are welcoming and attentive. Seeing that you are not alone by listening to other parents is also very consoling. For the first time in ages, I feel that we can get through this and out the other side.

We have completed the Bee program and it has made a real difference to us as a family. It teaches you all about what anxiety really is and what , as parents, we need to change in our own behaviour, so we can help our daughter . We are so glad we found this program and are grateful for the support we’ve had so far. We are looking forward to moving on to the next part of the program.

We have completed the Bee section of the programme and are excited to move forward. Our daughter has responded so well to the changes that we have made and is now really keen to start the programme herself, to gain the tools needed to overcome her anxiety and to be able to go back to school. Thank you so much to Sam and to Hannah for all the information, guidance and support. Very much appreciated!
