… not fearing the next panic attack.
… effortlessly reaching a deep state of relaxation.
… traveling with ease and not worrying about upcoming trips.
… letting go of unwanted worries and intrusive thoughts.
… feeling so confident again that you no longer need a ‘safe person’.
We don’t teach you how to "manage" your anxiety. We show you exactly how to achieve a full recovery. You deserve nothing less for your life. This is what makes DARE stand out from anything else you might have tried before. We aim for the finish line with a method that truly works!
Learn a unique way to feel empowered when facing anxious situations that scare you e.g. driving, flying, shopping or just going out without your safe person. The DARE Toolkit shows you how to strip away the fear of anxious sensations enabling you to feel safe regardless where you find yourself. This is where you learn to become your own "safe person" again. The result is a MUCH more confident, free and happy you!
Experience that carefree feeling you once had before anxiety was an issue in your life. It does not matter if that carefree person was from 20 or 30 years ago. DARE will show you how to handle any anxious sensations so you can fully trust your ability to handle anything that comes up during the day.
Lean to drive or fly with ease again. Imagine taking to the open road and not worrying about where the nearest hospital might be or what you will do if you get stuck in bad traffic far from home. You can then look forward to traveling with your family and friends again. No more dreading upcoming trips or having to cancel at the last minute! This is about bringing real freedom of movement back into your life.
Re-learn the ability to sleep effortlessly. Within you is an innate ability to sleep deeply, you just have to allow space for effortless sleep to happen. You achieve this by learning the latest in good sleep hygiene as well as the art of getting your anxious mind out of the way. No matter how long you have struggled with sleep, you can break free from insomnia and enjoy restful sleep again.
When you overcome your anxiety issue your dreams will start to come back to life. Allow yourself to start to dream again. What’s on your bucket list? Learn to tango in Argentina? Fly to Europe? Join a dance class or make new friends? The dreams and hopes you put on hold because of anxiety can now come back to life again.
Allow peace of mind to return to your life. Gone are the days of constant scanning and "checking in" with your anxiety to see how you feel. Wake in the morning not dreading the day ahead. Instead get up and look forward to all the possibilities that lie before you.
Say YES to life again. Say YES to invitations you would normally turn down. Say YES to spontaneous opportunities. Have the confidence to live spontaneously again not worrying whether you can handle a situation. Feel the deep reassurance that no matter what comes your way, you can handle it.
Re-learn that you are in fact your own safe person and that you do not need any safe people or crutches for you to feel safe no matter if you are in a busy city or stuck alone on a desert island. You have all you need to support yourself right inside of you.

“What’s really helped me on this journey is a no BS positive attitude.”
The last month has been the best because I have eliminated the fear. P.S. that self-doubt, that voice in your head that says you’ll never get better, and you’re crazy… whatever that voice says don’t believe it. You got this everyone

“Anxiety started when I got pregnant ”
I can now stay on my own, go out on my own, be in busy places, stay on my own for a full weekend, go for a 3 hour sitting having a tattoo on my own, go out with friends and even apply for a new career path which involved me travelling 3 hours in the car and staying in a hotel by myself.
