TESTIMONIALS - WALKING COACHING RETREATS
The whole weekend has had a massive impact on me. I feel positive, energised and a completely different person to when I started. I am now clearer in my mind as to where I want to go and how to get there. The home-cooked food on retreat was excellent and added to the nurturing environment. It was just another well-thought-out aspect of the weekend. The venue was great, the views were stunning, it was well equipped and was in a great location. Finally, Cat is a lovely person, very perceptive and very likeable. The relationship between coach (or therapist in my past experience) can be difficult, but Cat made it easy. Her easygoing approach made me feel welcome and relaxed from the outset. Overall, my weekend was amazing…positively transformative.
Jenny Thomas, Business Owner, Sept 2015
"A real practical, fresh approach to NLP coaching, in wonderful, inspiring surroundings. The retreat was both very relaxing and enjoyable. Cat’s enthusiasm, hospitality and coaching techniques combine to make this a wonderful weekend. I also experienced some shifts in my thinking and being which has been a real help to me. Thank you!"
Chris Grant, Project Manager, Scottish Water, Sept 2015
A fantastic weekend retreat with Cat as brilliant facilitator allowing me to gain a clear focus and new insights. Cat is very welcoming and ensures that all guests are happy with the approach taken and the activities. Great weekend. Definitely recommend it.
Monika Lang, Retail Business Risk, Lloyds Banking Group, Sept 2015
"I've just returned from a fabulous weekend on a Coaching / Walking retreat in the Southern Highlands of Scotland with Cat Trebilco and her guests. She beautifully and successfully blended the challenges of the great outdoors with the challenges we face in our lives / career. A wonderful and enriching experience was had by all. We scaled not only mountainous peaks (though snow, wind and a tiny bit of rain) but many personal objectives too. Perhaps more crucially, we were left with the tools to combat challenges ahead of us as well as the many great memories. As Head of Client Services at Coachmatch, I have the privilege of partnering with many of the world's most experienced and exceptional Executive Coaches, and I would be happy to include this retreat as one of the most powerful experiences I've had personally for shifting me from one place to another - geographically, emotionally and metaphorically! Well done Cat, well done us!"
Stanley Woster, Head of Client Services, Coachmatch, May 2015

Expedition Leading
To top this trek off we had a super guide in Cat Trebilco, she was organised, fun and so compassionate. Her devotion to looking after 2 ill Clients (who had to be airlifted) through the night and the rest of the group the following days plus trekking was exemplary. Such strength and kindness deserves the highest praise.

Yoga and Bonnie Scotland! What more could you ask for?!
Ali Forsyth, Sept 2016
What I’ve loved about the retreat is getting up and doing the yoga, even if your head thinks ‘no, I want to stay in bed’ and how rewarding it is when you see improvements – that was inspiring, really motivating and encouraging. I’ve only done a little bit of yoga before, but never consistently. Doing it twice a day has been really motivating, as you see improvements that you might not see only doing it once a week. And then the coaching, which is ridiculously powerful and so simple and easy, without being traumatic (like I’ve found counselling can sometimes be.) It’s just really smart questions to make you think. And then it’s just really nice to be together, in nature, in this beautiful place. The whole thing is a really simple, effective combination.
Liz Maglaras, (Transcript From Video Feedback) Sept 2016
“What to say… amazing scenery, fabulous walks and very relaxing (whilst still challenging) yoga sessions. Beautiful and very comfortable accommodation with great food. Lots of time to think about, or to discuss, anything going on in your life, without any obligation to share but lots of support if needed. The perfect way to get the headspace to wind down, review and relax – if you want time out from the rat race, this is the place to come… oh, and fantastic flapjacks…”

"If you are looking for a mix of activities in a beautiful Scottish environment with nature, and you need time and space to think, walk, do some yoga and work through some changes in your life, this is for you."
Esther Quinn, Marketing Manager, May 2016
"A wonderful weekend retreat in the stunning Scottish countryside. The combination of yoga, walking and coaching made this a truly unique experience. I would really recommend this to anyone needing time away."
Bernadette Leonard, Business Manager, Siemens, May 2016
"I was uncertain what to expect - but the whole experience has been brilliant! The location, the yoga, the walking and especially the coaching, which I did not expect. I feel I am leaving as a different person to when I came - in a very positive way!”
Guest wishing to remain anonymous, May 2016
"I can recommend this retreat for anyone who wants to take stock, embark on a change, or just develop themselves. It’s a physical, mental and emotional workout. It’s well put together with lots of thoughtful touches to help you make the most of the retreat. The location is stunning and the accommodation very comfortable."
Linda Cairns, Event Director, Surrey Youth Games, March 2016
"Lindsey and Cat provide a unique and very special offering. The combination of yoga, walking and coaching is superb for both your mind and your body. And it was full of lovely little surprises."

"The retreat is a great place to go and think about you, your life and how you can improve your mindset. The coaching has been life-changing for me. My Wellbeing has never felt better."
Carolyn Dick, CVS Falkirk Volunteer Manager, March 2016
"Carolyn has returned absolutely buzzing about the great time she had on the Retreat, lovely views, great weather, fabulous yoga. Apparently she is a dedicated fan and is going to join your regular yoga classes? She can’t get over the fact that, never having done yoga before, she was standing on her head! She is so enthused by the whole thing, it is wonderful."
Karen Herbert, Chief Executive, CVS Falkirk & District, March 2016

Its now been a year since our couple of sessions last year. I just wanted to tell you that I’m so grateful for the help you gave me, just those few hours changed a lot for me and I realised that I haven’t shared that with you properly!!
In the last year I have lived 5 very happy months close to my friends from home, followed my dream to train as a professional coach, finally let go of some unhelpful and deep-rooted beliefs about relationships which helped me embrace a lovely new relationship with a lovely guy! I’m now living in Vancouver and working as a Talent Development Coach and LIFE IS GOOD!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!

Client, November 2018
I contacted Cat to help me find a way to move my life on, particularly in terms of my work. I’d felt ‘stuck’ for quite a while, but didn’t know where to start to change things. Cat’s approach to coaching felt right for me as soon as I discovered her website. As someone who does their best thinking whilst outdoors and on the move, walking with Cat as we explore aspects of my life, has really helped unlock my creativity. The NLP techniques Cat uses have had some unexpected and revealing results, but after only 2 coaching sessions I feel I’m already starting out on a new path. Cat’s enthusiasm and encouragement, during and in-between coaching sessions, is infectious and has really helped motivate me. I can definitely see our coaching relationship continuing into the future.
Susan Leyland, November 2016
"Just to say what a lovely experience I had on Sunday afternoon on our walk. The idea of being outside made it so unrestrictive and gave it a wonderful flow. I especially liked the exercise we did at the side of the water and am interested to see the questions again. It was very thought provoking and made me look at things with a different perspective and it obviously stirred things in my mind which were hidden deep down. It has given me much to think about. I would also like to say that the pace of the afternoon was just perfect for me and that your approach and delivery was first class. So I would just like to say thanks for the "beginning of a journey" and we will keep in touch."
Gerry Dolan, Feb 2015
"Just a little one liner to say what a great day Gerry and I had yesterday. Thank you. People like you make all the difference to people like us."
Marie Dolan, Feb 2015
"Cat is an adept and confident coach who has an amazing ability to put you at your ease. Throughout working with her I always had a really comforting sense of being in a safe pair of hands which greatly assisted me to relax and be present in the moment with whatever we were working on. She works in an incredibly flexible way and you feel very certain that she is committed to helping you to meet your goals and has the ability to support you in your journey to achieve them. I have really enjoyed being coached by Cat and have enjoyed even more the transformations that she has supported me in achieving."
Fiona From edinburgh, Nov 2014
"I enjoyed Cat's professional, assuring and yet sensitive NLP coaching style as part of one of my NLP training modules. Cat is mature beyond her years in terms of her work experiences and confidence and yet also youthful in her outlook which can help offer fresh perspectives in life. Cat coached me through the 'Parts' Technique which was excellent. She was instantly in tune with my language, body language and scenario and helped me work through some personal circumstances to a good outcome. I would recommend others to work with Cat to help support their needs through NLP coaching."
Lindsey Porter, Financial Services Project Manager, NLP Trainee Practitioner, Reiki Master, Hatha Yoga Teacher, Oct 2014
"I met Cat during NLP practice sessions and was so taken by her enthusiasm, skill and intelligence, I jumped at the chance of attending her “pilot” hill walking/coaching session a couple of months back.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, and witnessed Cat’s commitment to helping others and trying things out that she astutely gauged was right for the coachee. I perceive Cat to have a strong level of self-awareness and a strong drive towards helping other, along with achieving her own goals. Her passion for NLP practices particularly stands out to me and I have every belief that Cat will continue her coaching journey, building on her existing skills and knowledge and make every success of her new business."
