He has a special gift that lights up the room and projects positive energy. I have gained immensely from his teachings.”

“I want to say how very grateful I AM for the experience of working with you this past three days. You have taken me to a level of awareness that I did not think was possible for me to achieve, or that I would be brave enough to face. With your loving support and encouragement I have opened a door to a peace that transcends anything I have felt in my life before, a peace that is gradually filling all the spaces in my heart that was so broken and bruised. Your unique way of helping people to get into their bodies to access their own heart intelligence is awe inspiring.”

“In the past few months that I have known and worked with Gabriel, my life has been enriched in not only my own conscious state of wellbeing, but also my spiritual evolution. In both his teachings and care for others, his dynamic and loving nature is omnipresent. Gabriel embraces you on your journey, open heartedly, with love and mindfulness. These strengths and gifts helped me to elicit a state of spiritual growth and self discovery. Gabriel’s effective spiritual guidance has provided me more than just insight into the various avenues of my life. He has guided and helped me to redesign my own belief system that works for me! In doing so I am more able, willing and confident to share that, which he so greatly possesses.”

“Working with Gabriel taught me how to reconcile all the “spiritual” ideas that has been whizzing in and out of my mind. His hand on approach to Spirit/Source/Love shows the authenticity of someone who has spirit running through his veins, and his non judgmental approach allows even the most nervous too relax into themselves and experience their true nature 1st hand. Thank you Gabriel for being a beacon of Trust, Hope and Divine creativity; for showing me that raising my vibrational frequency is where it’s at, and that thee most important thing about “Spirituality” is to have Fun!”

“Gabriel is so authentic, honest and non judgmental. I felt very free with him as a facilitator, I could express myself freely and safely. His playfulness created the space for my inherent playfulness to surface. He is totally committed to helping others and at the same time, shares his own journey and vulnerability freely. He has depth and empathy while bringing an uplifting energy to the participants’ challenges. He includes sexuality in what he does, which is so healthy and healing for me.”

“In just 30 mins, Gabriel gave me some pearls of wisdom that helped me move on from my recent ‘failed’ relationship (note ‘failed’ is in inverted commas because it’s not really failure if you learn from it, right?!). At the time I was desperately checking my ex’s twitter page EVERYDAY about 5 times a day…and I REALLY felt like I didn’t know how to stop myself, despite knowing how destructive it was. The day after that I stopped and haven’t checked since. Just that alone really helped me move out of a very stuck, obsessive place. So thank you! “
- Kitty Hendricks, Cape Town, South Africa
“Within the first 5 minutes of meeting Gabriel I knew my search for a spiritual teacher was over. Gabriel is so connected to Spirit, yet remarkably down to earth. His knowledge of new thought ancient-wisdom philosophies have helped me see myself from a new perspective. His unconditional Love and support guided me through a difficult period in my life and that is why I call him “The Angel Gabriel”. He is the one person I can trust with my soul!”
- Gina Lockitch, Cape Town, South Africa
“Gabriel’s insights helped me reflect on the mistakes I’ve made in relationships. Specifically, he was the first man to affirm that taking good care of my own body and soul and being clear about my non-negotiables don’t limit my options for relationship—they actually broaden them. I felt healthier just talking to him and am now “leading with my radiance” with positive results. I’m dating more and stressing less. Gabriel has an amazing gift!”
- Garlinda Burton, U.S.A.
