Client Testimonials

I just wanted to continue sharing my gratitude for our time, your presence and witnessing. The rest of my day felt so compassionately held and I felt our work thread through the sessions with my clients. Thank you so much, Pernilla

Hi Pernilla! I have often thought of you so fondly and reflected on the time we spent together when I worked with you about 4 years ago. The work I did with you really started the process for the most transformational time in my life. I actually became a life coach and am now coaching people as well. I would love to get on a call with you just to say hi, thank you, tell you how much you helped me and share a bit about what I'm doing now.

Pernilla's presence helped me to feel and become aware of what was going on for me.  It is the kind of presence I have always wanted and it was such a gift to receive it.
I am more connected to myself and more aware of what I am feeling.  I have more love towards myself and what I am feeling. It really helped me move forward in my journey to know and care for myself.

Pernilla can help you to discover and clear what has been preventing you from the full and joyous expression of your true self.  Pernilla's unconditional support, love and acceptance, combined with her expert guidance and many years of experience as Hakomi Practitioner create a safe space for healing to unfold.

I enjoyed each session, and how I would start out with an idea of what needed to be worked on, and by the end would have ended up somewhere completely different.

You are very intuitive, and gentle when bringing up things that are hard to face, or that are buried. I looked forward to each session, and felt different after I left. I actually got more positive results than I had been expecting. I thought it would be a lot harder to work on the things that have been bothering me, but it was a bit of a relief. I have a clearer understanding about what I want and don't want, and acceptance about the fact that I can't pretend other wise and be happy.

The work was very gentle and nurturing of the parts of me that I've been trying to "fix". It made me feel much more relaxed when facing things about myself that aren't in balance.

This work is different from "traditional" counseling or therapy that I've gotten. I felt like in other sessions I was being told things that they noticed about me, and how to cope deal with what I was going through. In the sessions with you I was taught how to recognize the parts of myself that needed care, and how to be kind to myself while healing what was actually bothering me.

I have done a lot of spiritual work from the time I was a little kid, and while some of the sessions I've had with energy workers have been very beneficial, this was the first time that I've worked with someone and not felt pushed or forced into recognizing what the real "issues" are. There was no judgement or shame in what I was feeling, and I was able to admit to myself what the wounded parts of me really needed to say/hear/do without feeling tension or the need to hide it somehow.

My overall experience working with you, Pernilla, was life-changing. You helped me see myself in a completely different light and to unlock the doors behind which I was hiding and punishing parts of myself. You taught me to shed love and light onto and except every single part of myself.

I have established a much more loving relationship with myself. I have soothed my own fears and insecurities that kept me at a distance from my loving boyfriend, and so my relationship with him has blossomed brilliantly & gets stronger every day. I have developed much more open and accepting relationships with my immediate family. Most of all, I feel the wounds and heartache of my past have largely dissolved; I feel lighter, freer 🙂

I now have a better ability to choose how I prefer to respond rather than just letting my emotional reactions dictate my life; especially in relationships. I have learned to pay attention to the way that my body feels at any given time and to be able to respond to those ‘signals’ by pausing, taking a deeper look inside to find the root of the feeling, and then bringing that pain into the light...loving and accepting that part of myself I kept separate or hidden away….finally giving that part of myself the opportunity to be heard and providing a loving space for it to cry, feel supported, relax

It's never easy to look inward at the shame and the pain I've spent a lifetime trying to cover up, escape from or deny. It was hard at first to realize that even with all of the therapy and self-improvement I had engaged in daily for years, I still had so much pain inside. It was hard to come to the realization that my past traumas had continued to drive me in subtle ways in every aspect of my life...I was allowing it to dictate my actions and fuel my decision-making...I was allowing it to hurt me again and again.

If you are willing and determined to finally take ownership of your own life and to learn to truly, deeply and unconditionally love ALL of YOU, Pernilla will be your guiding light & loving protector as you take that journey. You owe it to yourself to work with Pernilla today...nothing is more important than your happiness and the love you feel for yourself…

I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all you have helped me accomplish and realize over the past 3 months. I am forever grateful for the ways in which you've helped me re-connect with, accept, and love every version/part of myself and to dissolve my deep wounds of the past with light and love. Thank you thank you thank you 🙂

Pernilla's special ability to draw out, follow along, weave through – and get to the crux of the matter – never ceases to amaze me. Each session with her has led me to unexpected places. She is a delightful person, and has been a brilliant guide through my personal evolution. I am grateful and fortunate to have found her.

Pernilla is a laser beam of love and acceptance as well as a skilled guide into the real and physical sensations of emotional trauma that lie beyond our "stories". By encouraging us to allow our feelings to be exactly as they are, somehow, these unloved bits of the self are thawed and reintegrated into the whole. By orders of magnitude, working with Pernilla is more powerful and healing than anything else I've tried -- and I've tried just about everything!

Pernilla has a unique approach I find effective, powerful and extremely helpful in the individual and couples work I am currently doing. She is able to help me get out of my head and access my feelings through my body so that I’m able to get to the core source of my personal and interpersonal issues. Pernilla has a unique ability to help me to get to where I need to be and am able to process and understand whatever my goal for that day is. Pernilla has helped me go where I’ve never gone before and gain insights and lessons I’ve never achieved before. Thanks Pernilla

I would certainly recommend this program to others. I would tell them about how you guide people in a beautiful way to learn all about the heart’s desire, the tools you give them to ‘meet’ the heart’s desire and what a freedom it gives when one gets in contact with that inside. I would tell them how fantastic and freeing it has been for me to have learned about the mechanism of the should, to get insight into that, and how to deal with it. I would tell them it is a complete program in which from many different angles the focus comes all back to the one thing, that what we are at the core of our heart.

I am more free because I have more insight in what a should is and how a should works, the falseness of it, and how I can deal with it. That is an other very important issue for me because I am already aware of shoulds since my Teens, (my biggest should: not being good enough in any way, and I should be better, and better was never good enough either). I suffered a lot of it, like a lifetime, and now suddenly, in this course, there is offered a solution to this. And the solution is not one of working hard (as it seems to me) (because working hard is the very thing that stresses me again).

I find that I feel better about myself, feel more confident, more free to be the way I really am, so I’m allowing myself to be who I am. That means saying out loud what I’m thinking and feeling instead of hiding it or censoring it and making nice. This all sounds kind of cliché and simple but the experience of it is not at all. I have tried so many things over my adult lifetime – spiritual practices, meditation, self-help books, affirmations – you name it! The tools you offer in your course provided the missing pieces for me to come into myself and mySelf. They are spiritually practical! What I mean by that is that they help open the passage into actually being able to live and experience the way of being described in spiritual teachings.

The ”tools” you have internalized and offer to us, Pernilla, are so profoundly transforming. In a way, I’m still stunned by them. They sound so simple and so pleasant – drop the shoulds, allow yourself, love yourself. But for me they were such deep and exact antidotes to the obstacles in my “normal” state that the combination really “threw up so much dust!”

The content was extraordinary. I felt that each week you offered us an absolute gem, truly a treasure of how to work with life and ourselves and our conditioning that shook my foundations and restructured me to my very core in a way that opens my heart and allows me to be more and more of who I am. I say that in present tense because the process is continuing and I feel it will just keep growing.

Pernilla is a gifted healer whom I have worked with for many years. Her latest endeavor---a "should-free cleanse"----has been wonderfully helpful to me in identifying, and freeing myself from, the unconscious "shoulds" (in my mind) that so often block the expression of my heart's true desire. In this class, Pernilla has given us all her wisdom, love, compassion, and committed support, as we learn to allow what is truly in our hearts. After taking her wonderful class, I am now aware of "my shoulds" when they arise in my mind; and instead of blindly and unconsciously following them, I can now make choices that express my heart's deepest longings...

I love how carefree, and yet grounded Pernilla’s personality is and she truly does care about how her students are growing as individuals on a journey of self discovery. I look forward to every class. She has taught me a lot about myself and I am greatly indebted to the knowledge and spark I now have with being mindful in whatever I do.

I just wanna say I am very thankful for your class. Meditation is something I have always wanted to practice, but whenever I tried starting a practice it always seemed too daunting. I think it is important for a skill like meditation to start out learning together in a group. After taking your class, I think I’ve really gotten a skill of being able to just sit back and find myself anywhere, and your class was like turning on a light bulb and saying, "Ok, so that's how you meditate."

One of the concepts that worked to shift my perspective was that of Radical Responsibility. This did not fully sink in right away either, but after reflecting on it and feeling into it, I could see that it has never worked to not take responsibility. The other was the kindness towards self and self-images. Together they presented a kind of opportunity to do a kind of work that no one could really do for me, entirely. This was experienced as positive and empowering, because I don’t think I had ever gotten it that I could do this for myself.

After our last session, some things have changed. Something has fallen away. I am more free and more myself. In the past I often felt ashamed of myself and on top of that I felt very stupid, even about the simplest things. I don’t feel anything of shame or embarrassment anymore. Nothing holds me back. It feels so fine. I can see now how much energy I have put into trying to hide that I felt ashamed all of my life or felt stupid. Immense. I feel more free, more myself, it is like coming home.

I find that I feel better about myself, feel more confident, more free to be the way I really am, so I’m allowing myself to be who I am. That means saying out loud what I’m thinking and feeling instead of hiding it or censoring it and making nice. This all sounds kind of cliché and simple but the experience of it is not at all. I have tried so many things over my adult lifetime – spiritual practices, meditation, self-help books, affirmations – you name it! The tools you offer in your course provided the missing pieces for me to come into myself and mySelf. They are spiritually practical! What I mean by that is that they help open the passage into actually being able to live and experience the way of being described in spiritual teachings.

Thanks to Pernilla Lillarose’s meditation classes, I am finally beginning to listen to my heart. I am now aware of the things that I want to experience from life because I’ve chosen not to ignore or suppress my feelings and thoughts that make me who I am. Meditation opened my eyes to a whole different world of endless possibilities.

I found a place, through meditation, in which I can escape to when my college lifestyle becomes overwhelming. I can undoubtedly say that I will treasure this experience always, throughout the journeys life takes me. I hope that eventually the healing nature of meditation can be shared with everyone.

The world would be a much happier place. Meditation changed my life for the better and can do the same for anyone willing to listen to their heart.
