"Dear Diana, What a treasure you are! Just 48 hours before my last flight, I called you. I had tried all the different methods previously to conquer my fear of flying--tapes, relaxation techniques, classes, flight therapy--and nothing worked. I was embarking on another trip, and I was terrified. Within five minutes on the phone with you, I knew things were going to change. You didn't take a 'cookie-cutter' approach to my problem. You talked to me. After the first session, I felt like it just might be okay to fly. By the end of the second session, I was confident I could do it--and I did. I had a deep sense of calm and peace, and most importantly, trust. Trust that I would get there and everything would be okay. The skills that you gave me for flying are actually life skills that transcend to all other areas of my life. You have given me a gift, and I thank you so much." -Beth Farmer.

"Thank you—thank you—thank you! I finally took that business trip we discussed back in early August. For the first time in twelve years, I flew without anxiety. I stepped on the plane and didn't feel the need to take a Valium or have a drink. Your counsel and advice really did the trick. In fact, I even loved flying! The best part was heavy turbulence on the six-hour flight back. Everybody else complained, but it didn't bother me a bit. I simply can't thank you enough for assisting me in a fuller and more enjoyable life filled with travel. God bless you. PS:The Office Yoga book I purchased from you is great!" -Alex Godun

"I spoke with you last September in a last ditch effort to overcome my debilitating fear of flying. Much to my surprise, it worked! In fact, the night before we left on our trip I slept the whole night through. This was not the norm for me. I would, in the past, wake up in the middle of the night in a state of sheer terror. Leading up to our trip I found myself looking at photos of airplane cabins and getting excited at the idea of our upcoming trip. The mere thought of a plane, even the smell of the jet fuel as I drove past the airport was enough to cause instant panic just months before. My trip to Europe was a success due in large part to you. We are planning another trip (by plane) for this summer. I'm giving your number to my sister and her boyfriend, the only two people I know who may be worse off than me in terms of their fear of flying. Here's a photo of me and my wife at the House of Commons with Big Ben in the background. I look like I'm not having a good time but quite the contrary, I'm concentrating on taking the picture by holding the camera at arms length, not an easy task! Once again, thank you for your help." -Chad Bell

"Bonjour Diana, Thank you so much for your help and the support you have given me a few days before my very first flight! The tools you have given me are simple, very focused and efficient. It works! I followed your advise. The nervous thoughts didn't go away completely but I felt much calmer. On board I was surprised I didn't have any of the symptoms of anxiety. They had magically disappeared! We took off and then, the fun started! I really enjoyed every minute of the flight, so much that I wished that it at last longer! Traveling all over the world is one of my most cherished dream, and I have the firm intention to make it happen. I will always be grateful for the support you have given me. You helped me 'break the ice'. It has opened the whole world! Thank you, merci mille fois!" -Luc Q

"Diana, Thanks so much for your help and quick response to my urgent call for help! You asked that I update you on my flying experience. We spoke a week ago yesterday regarding my upcoming trip. Well, I spoke to you the night before I was to leave, so it was cutting it close. But I wrote things down, took the notes with me to the airport and on the plane, and practiced what you told me. I must say that it helped a lot. My trip back was with my husband and child, and I was even better on that flight. So I am on my way to recovery! I can honestly say I am much less afraid of flying! I think the "movie" exercise we did was very helpful. It's really weird to me, I don't know the principle working behind this exercise, but it did help me, I believe, immensely. Also, your advice to trust was very helpful. On my way back from California, I actually, for the first time ever, looked out the window on takeoff. I have flown maybe 50 times, and I have never before looked out the window on takeoff! I believe that was a giant step for me." -Fondly, Pam Finamore

"Talking to you before I left really helped. I was still nervous, but my discomfort was greatly diminished. I was even able to fall asleep on my flight back! That has never happened before. Thanks to you, I will not hesitate to fly in the future, and I have a feeling that each trip will become a little easier." -Jennifer Aldrich

"Thank you once again for helping me fly. The visualization exercise was the most helpful to me. I have attached a photo, which is the exact description I gave you over the phone, right down to the last detail (the setting, where I was standing, and what I was wearing). If you want, you may use the photo on your website." -Kristen Kim

"Hi Diana, just wanted to thank you again and let you know how I did. I was a little nervous just getting onto the plane and the wait for take off, but once we were up in the air, I did fine. It was definitely worth the trip, and I would do it again, even if it took 10 hours to get there. We are possibly taking a trip to London next year, which I look forward to with confidence. Very grateful." -Leisa Steinkraus

"Thanks so much for talking to me on the phone. I feel better about my planned trip. Please put me on your e-mail list. You are a very soothing, pleasant person to talk with. I am looking forward to your book!" -Linda Eastwoody

"My flights were a success! The exercises you gave helped me. I was nervous before and during takeoff on my first flight, but I was more relaxed on the remaining flights. I am now considering flying more often. Our conversation helped me understand how my fear was
causing so much unnecessary stress. Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it very much." -Mark Topping

"Hi Diana. It's me again. I managed to survive my trip (five takeoffs and landings). Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks." -jkl

"Thank you for giving me the tools I need. This morning I had a little nervousness about the trip, like should I buy a ticket or not. I used the way of thinking you told me, and about 3 minutes later, I was able to change my thinking. Thank you. This was the first time I was able to come out of the hole I put myself in." -Janos, the scaredy cat, on the way to become a lion.

"Thank you once again for your help and support. I'll do the best I can to incorporate the things you've told me into my daily life. I have no choice but to succeed because I feel there's no other way. If I didn't care much about traveling, I guess it wouldn't do much, but once again, maybe this could disturb other aspects of my life and, in due time, see my world considerably reduced. I have much to look forward to in going to Europe soon. Love awaits me there if I have the courage to go get it... May God help me, and I thank Him for putting you on my path." -PL

"Just wanted to follow up with you to let you know that I am GREATLY IMPROVED in my fear of flying. I have flown fear-free several times now since we had our consultation and have begun to enjoy my life again. I will stay in touch from time to time to let you know how it's going! Many thanks!" -CJ
