"Dove's self-paced stress management course has something for whatever amount of time you have. Through her balance of useful knowledge and embodied practice, learning and feeling, seriousness and playfulness, Dove helps the very idea of stress become much less stressful!”

"Dove taught me how to give myself permission to be happy."

"Dove's wisdom, guidance, and questions have helped me feel like yes, I can become a master gardener to my inner landscape -- able to plan, plant, nurture, grow, weed, blossom, harvest. I feel like a more beautiful place to be to myself. "

“As a creative and giving person who always has a long long to do list, I knew I was stressed out but believed it was inescapable. With Dove's guidance, I've found a baseline level of peace that I didn't know was even possible, and I wouldn't go back to my old ways for anything. Like all things, managing stress takes practice, and it's a lot easier when you have a coach that encourages you each step of the way. I cannot recommend this program enough.”

"Committing to working with Dove is giving yourself the opportunity to discover your deepest core truths to be able to live your most authentic life."

"Dove is such a lovely person whose warmth and caring shines through as she shares her expertise in body mind care. It was a great reminder for me to connect with myself, my body, my breath, and feelings, to help guide me in life. I highly recommend Dove for anyone who needs some TLC and support."

"A session with Dove lifts and restores my whole sense of wellness."

"My session with Dove was such a gift.
I appreciate her clear being , deep listening and understanding presence.
I came into our session with a thorny dilemma and quickly received a quality of witnessing along with skillful guidance and questions that helped me ease into new possibilities.
I came away with a warm sense of being really seen and heard, renewed enthusiasm and action steps that helped me move forward with a challenging process.
So grateful for wise coaching !

"My sessions with Dove felt so open and natural and supportive. The process she used and the setting we were in really helped to create a safe and unlimited space for this work.
I learned that I have much more possibility inside myself than I was considering!
I’ve been able to achieve more action towards my goals. I have a greater sense of agency in my life and my wellness.
I see a lot of possibilities in my growth and giving myself permission to live the life I have always wanted to live.
My growth edges are around continued and growing awareness and recognizing how important my mental and physical health are to me and how I now prioritize this.

"One word that I feel describes my experience with Dove is connected! When I came across her ad, although I cannot recall exactly what I read, I know I was intrigued and curious to learn more about what, why and how her approach would be any different than what I've already experienced. It's interesting because over a couple of decades, I've seen a psychotherapist, cognitive behavioural therapist, counsellor and psychologist and do not recall ever having the dialogue and support as I've had with Dove. She gets me!"

"Always an incredible experience with Meadow Dove! Amazing!"

"I'm super grateful for the calm & healthy & helpful conversation we shared - you have a true gift."

"Fantastic!"

I have seen counsellors, therapists, health coaches, psychiatrists, and self-taught guerrilla psychologists. I have read/listened to a myriad of self-help, inward journey, shadow work, manifestation, behavioural therapy, and trauma healing literature. I have attended somatic healing, breathwork, yoga, ecstatic dance, and meditation classes and workshops. Dove is the first person I've encountered who can pull elements of all of these together without pushing in any direction, and while providing compassion for the difficulty of the journey.

"Not just a massage, but a transformative experience."

"Thank you Dove, it was great to reconnect with you. I felt it was an amazing session and my mind and body is going to rest well tonight."

Dove has helped me finally begin to feel at home in myself.

"I have had a lot of experience seeking relief through massage. Meadow is like no other I have met before, I believe she has an innate capacity to heal. I noticed right away she was very good at massage, enough to prompt me to ask about her training. She studied for three years, not the average two, and seems to be learning and growing all the time. The personal issues and stress I was going through were more than I would expect any massage therapist to help guide anyone through. Her words of wisdom are insightful and healing. The things I learned from her were gifts from her heart I now take with me through my life, I learned a lot from Meadow. My life circumstances have changed, I am not able to visit Mayne as often as I had been. I think making a special trip just to have Dove's professional help is definitely worth it. When I met her I was in very rough shape, she put me back on my feet heading in the right direction for which I will always be grateful."

"Really enjoyed my session. The conversation allowed me to unfold and dig into my thoughts further and Dove is very attentive, present and able to raise the right questions to trigger interesting responses within yourself."

"Dove is always wonderful. She listens, is thoughtful & offers lots of good & helpful advice."

"Dove is a very knowledgeable and capable therapist. Her professional, delicate, and empathic approach contributes to a comfortable, comforting, and healing experience in a non-stress environment. Highly recommended."

"The nicest preventative action I could take for myself."

"Dove is amazing. I suffer from chronic back pain. Today I came to see her with severe left shoulder blade pain that I can’t move for several days. After the treatment the pain is gone. I truly believe when she says less is more."

"Have just told a friend how lucky we are to have Meadow Dove on this island. She really knows her stuff. My body says a big THANKYOU. She is very knowledgeable about the human body and keeping it healthy, and takes the time to give helpful advice. Thanks Dove."

"To have a massage therapist on our little island is pretty cool, but to have someone like Dove is truly amazing. She is friendly, flexible, extremely professional, and thorough. She makes me feel comfortable and is always interested in my needs. What more could you ask for!"

"Dove really is a gem and her loving energy, commitment to change and quirky creative enthusiasm is a winning combination"

"Dove has a wonderful ability to help you shift and transform the way you think about things that might be in your way. Obstacles become opportunities!
Dove helps you find the gems already seated within one's self. I have gone from feeling stuck and muddy to feeling like a radiant source of possibility!"

"Best massage I have ever had. Thank you!"

"Dove's consistent at-your-own-pace support is genuinely kind - such a necessary element when dealing with difficult and fragile feelings and internalized thoughts and hierarchies."

"Beautiful Dove has amazing healing fingers and such a lovely healing aura. I feel blessed to be in your presence dear Dove and thank you again for your wonderful treatment. Blessings."

"Excellent experience. Left feeling so much better. Always leave feeling soooo good. Such a lovely experience."

"Really enjoyed my session, the conversation allowed me to unfold and dig into my thoughts further and Dove is very attentive, present and able to raise the right questions to trigger interesting responses within yourself."

"Dove asked very relevant questions to help me feel what my anxiety feels like and showed me some examples of tools I can use in the moment to help me understand my thoughts and emotions."

"Thank you for today! It was super up-lifting, encouraging and awesome!"

"Meadow Dove’s treatment and follow up suggestions have really helped my back issue. Thank you for the thoughtful and caring response to my problem. I am so grateful for the skill and caring you bring to each treatment. And so grateful that you are part of this community! Thank you"

"Massage with Dove is a wonderful experience and, far beyond the session, an amazing support for body and soul."

"Excellent session, very worthwhile."

"I’m doing so well. There’s no steeper improvement curve than from when we started working together [7 months ago]. I’m very grateful to not be struggling as much as I was. I wouldn’t be able to be here, if we hadn’t done that work. I’m also just really grateful to be here - I feel like I’ve finally arrived at a level of wellness that I recognize that without it was absolutely life destroying, for me. I feel we have really unlocked a new level of healing which feels great!”

"Dove had a way of bringing me out of a cocoon and learn to express my deepest feelings. I now have a new set of tools that I will have to fall back on in those times when self doubt recurs.
Thank you for your guidance and encouragement."

"Thanks again. It is the greatest pleasure to have your support. I feel really lucky and grateful."
