“ This course was the most significant and impactful two days of my education since kindergarten. I strongly feel that the course should not be called ‘Addiction Coaching’ – it is so much more and it has forever changed my view of ‘addiction’ and ‘mental health’. Stephen’s approach to the many issues we face as human beings is not only evolved, enlightened and courageous but one of deep healing. The insights and techniques that he so skilfully shares will enhance any coaching practice. And from a personal perspective, I now feel more equipped than ever to make positive changes in my own life. I cannot recommend it highly enough – this course is magic!”.Sinéad Burke Lawyer, Lifecoach

“I have been a participant on many courses,gaining invaluable knowledge and experience on the way, however my most insightful has been my recent learning with Anxiety Master Class & Addiction Course trainer Stephen Hunter, of Enlightenment.ie.

He does what enlightment means, removes confusion, clears up and offers full comprehension on his significant insights and expertise; how to manage stress, abuse and trauma in our lives.

Because he has lived, learned and experienced what he teaches, it’s first hand and at times I wished it was over just so I could go out and practice what he taught.

This was proven when I coached my next client an 18year old with attitude, Stephens technique worked like it said on his tin, she left my session honestly, enlightened, breakthrough’s like these are the nuggets that distinguish Trainers and their content

His was most likely born communicating such is his natural ability to deliver with innate passion, experience and breath holding content, he did remind us to breath throughout, such is the nature of his courses”.Siobhan Mc Donald www.coachingiskey.com

“Stephen’s course on addiction is so much more than just a course on how one can coach clients with addictions. It is a course that opens up the possibility of helping so many more clients, by offering a methodology that has relevance to a vast range of clients’ issues.

He brings all of that experience and knowledge, insight and compassion, empathy and commitment to course.

With the invaluable insights and skills I’ve just learned, I feel more confident in my ability to help people on a deeper level. I couldn’t recommend Stephen and this certificate more. I will be doing any other certificates that Stephen creates.

Thank you Stephen, the world needs more of you”.Lisa Collins Life Coach

“ Stephen intense “working with Anxiety” masterclass has been a great addition to my coaching toolkit. It has allowed me to delve deeper into neuroscience aspects of coaching, to provide more powerful, positive and transformational changes for the client . The tools Stephen provides in the session allow the client to breakdown their issue themselves. Through this exercise, the client can visually see for themselves the source of their pain and together we can work to reverse the chemistry causing this pain.
Stephen’s experience and knowledge of this field makes the class very enjoyable and powerful. I would thoroughly recommend this advanced masterclass to anyone looking to take their coaching to the next level.

“ Wow, I spent 3 times the monies on a 6 weekend Personal Development course, yet found out more about myself in the first half day, still reeling after the content.

Hugely informative, self awareness, diagnosis, tools to assist in every areas of coaching, and while not a refresher course, it was this & more, delivered in Stephens eloquent manner, true to his nature and self.

Great learning mixture of audio, visual, triad & homework, slowing down of content delivery eg video preplay eanbled for me a deerper level of understanding & a new learning technique, to relisten, almost like I get the story but only by relistening do I get just the ‘it’ point of learning”.Siobhan Mc Donald https://coachingiskey.ie

“ This course was life changing!

My understanding of addiction has been greatly enhanced over the course of this powerful weekend experience.

Stephen is a natural leader and his skills in delivering this course were outstanding. He shared so much wisdom and so many insights and gave many examples of questions that would be useful for exploring the pain that a client may present with (or pushing on the pain) which is an area I wanted help with. Stephen’s delivery of the course was outstanding. He delivered the content in such a natural way and created a safe space for all of us who participated so that we felt comfortable sharing our own reflections and insights or asking questions which benefited the entire group.

I got ten times more than I expected that I would get from this course. I would 1000% recommend this course certificate course”.Aisling Daly thriveforlive
