Here are some of the things students and clients have said about their experience with Anne Marie and the FerrisWheel:

"As an elementary teacher I did the course for two reasons: to improve myself as a person and to bring 'something new' to all my pupils; I achieved both. The course was exactly what I needed after the wear and tear of 29 years of teaching". Nuala, Parent and Teacher

"Thomas immediately bonded with Anne Marie and she could see the areas which needed to be worked on. That day a switch went on in our sons head and the improvements in not just his reading, but in his social skills, his peripheral vision and his overall confidence have been dramatic."

Mary, Parent

"The changes in Brendan are monumental. He has grown with confidence. Brendan has an ease about him that wasn't there before. He will never love school but he has developed strategies for coping, strategies that leave him smiling on the way to and from school". Marie, Teacher and Parent

"I was extremely fortunate to hear of Anne Marie Ferris towards the end of 2010, she told me she could help Paul and I would see an improvement in a very short space of time. The initial consultation took about 90 mins and at the end of it she gave me some exercises to do with Paul every day for 21 days. The difference in Paul was almost immediate and by the time the 21 days was up he had transformed completely. His grades have reached what I never dreamed possible. Thank you Anne Marie" Pat

"Andrew has been completely transformed from what he was and I've no doubt it was down to Anne Marie Ferris and the wonderful gift she has. Thank you Anne Marie from both Andrew and I, we will be forever grateful. "Niamh, mom

"One year ago Adam was a total introvert, he would get upset over the smallest of things. He was extremely sensitive, and struggled with reading and homework; exams were awful! Now he comes out confident from exams having done all questions. He has enough time to go over everything at the end and sometimes comes out early!

Differences in him are; more conversation, confident, less anxious, less upset, less nervous, more centred, makes decisions for himself, there's more logic, he's getting the bigger picture now. All round he is a better person and more positive. Thank you!"

Marie Dempsey, parent
