We've completed the Bee section of the course and it has been so helpful in getting some traction with starting to turnaround the school avoidance and getting the atmosphere in our home better. Looking forward to the next stage.
We have completed Bumblebee on the programme and found the information and stratagies very helpful. Hannah’s advise on the zoom sessions have been really helpful and a great support so far with lots of helpful tips and knowledge. Our situation is slightly different to most and I am interested to see where the next chapter takes us on this journey. Our son is already showing sign of improvement and we are all a lot happy and relaxed as a family.
We just completed the program. It’s been a longer journey for us but I can truly say, one that has been worth every moment of pain and laughter. Thank you Young Vibes for taking me on a journey of self discovery. I am in love with life as well as my anxiety recovered daughter. Anyone who is thinking, contemplating to join, please don’t..with no doubt in your mind, join..you will not regret it. It’s worth every penny.
We have just completed the Bumblebee portion of this programme and found the information and support to be great, especially the zoom sessions where you get to meet parents in similar situations and get fantastic advice and guidance from Hannah. Our home is a lot calmer and more fun and we cant wait to take the next step with our Son onboard the programme.
We are about to move into Evergreen. The knowledge we all have is invaluable. My daughter has had a light switched on in her head now she knows she doesn't have a mental health problem and she can recover from anxiety. She's even started a new hobby with her new found confidence. It's a challenging programme but in a positive way. Changing our ways as parents has had a huge impact on our family. Our house is calmer, no more walking on eggshells and is a much happier home. The zoom calls are great for dropping in for advice and knowing you're not alone. Sam and the team are fantastic and authentic they only had your child and family's interest at heart. Onwards and upwards and no looking back only forward.
Before we started the programme our Daughter hadn't attended school for 20 months due to suffering from severe anxiety and emotional based school avoidance. As parents we were stepping on egg shells to try to prevent the meltdowns and unkind behaviour being portrayed by our 14 year old daughter. She has struggled with an anxiety disorder since the age of 4. She was burnt out and was struggling with her emotions, self esteem and would often stay indoors as she was scared of bumping into other people who bullied her at school. Throughout the programme we learnt that we had been contributing to her anxiety with how we were behaving. Us as parents learned how we could change our behaviour to get a positive result. As Sam would say ' if you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got'. Fast forward to now, and we have a confident daughter, who understands how she can manage her anxiety and live life to the full. She is back in school attending 8.45-2.15pm. We are extremely confident that in the New Year she will be attending school full time. It's not easy changing behaviours and we have had whoopsies along the way. Knowledge is definitely power and having the whoopsies means we can learn from them and change for the better. We can't thank Sam, Hannah, Davina and the team enough for the programme and all of their support.
This course is not a quick fix, you get out what you put in. I have learnt so much from the videos, and the support on the zoom calls are incredible. I can now see light at the end of the tunnel and my son is talking about Christmas shopping and even returning to school in thr new year. I'm looking forward to the next part of our journey with young vibes and moving on to nectar.
Feel we have been thrown a lifeline The videos are easy to understand and embed the thinking re the adrenaline response. The zoom meetings invaluable with Hannah and 1-2-1 with Davina excellent. Communication and responses via email very good. The process is logical but the progress through could be clearer - perhaps numerical values about the steps as well as their titles would help us rather frazzled parents! Our house is much calmer and we are very excited about the next steps.
We joined Young Vibes at the beginning of October. My daughter was experiencing crippling anxiety that was presenting as debilitating OCD behaviours, impacting her daily life severely and preventing her from attending school. She has made phenomenal progress since being on the course and we are so excited to move to the next section of the programme. All of the OCD behaviours have completely disappeared and she is now becoming a new version of her very best self. The coaching team are all fabulous, knowledgable, supportive and extremely accessible. The multiple daily zoom sessions for both parents and kids are an absolute lifeline and have helped us to navigate a really stressful time, giving us direction and confidence. Seeing other parents at varying stages helps you to stay positive and shows you how far you have come. The course is immersive and you will get out what you put in. At times it feels counter intuitive but our experience so far is that it works. My daughter thinks Sam is incredible and has found the zooms and Bus group extremely helpful. The Young Vibes community is powerful! Be prepared to be confronted, to do the work and watch your child begin to thrive again. Huge, huge thanks to the Young Vibes team! Natalie
We’re about to transition to Nectar, and my daughter into Butterfly. This programme has truly opened my eyes to how much I was doing for her, thinking I was helping, but in reality, I was “killing her with kindness.” She wasn’t standing up for herself or taking responsibility, and I was inadvertently enabling that. It’s been amazing to see her start stepping out of her comfort zone. She’s now attending one lesson a week at school, even if it’s just sitting in the class for a bit or meeting friends during break time. These are small, but significant steps, especially considering she hasn’t been in school since July. She loves the Zoom calls and being part of the bus group—it’s helping her realise she’s not the only child who feels this way. I’m so grateful for all the support we’ve received on this journey. Thank you for everything!
We’ve just completed Bee, the first part of the program for parents, we have learnt so much and now have a thorough understanding of anxiety. The dynamics in the house have completely changed, we’re all more relaxed, our son is engaging and there’s fun & laughter again! The difference we have seen in our son just by the changes we have implemented are truly amazing. We’re really keen to embrace the next part of the program. Thank you Sam, Hannah and the team. The support and guidance on the zoom sessions are invaluable.
It's been such a journey of growth for all of us. I've learnt so much about myself, family dynamics and why my daughter struggled. I now leave the program and hopefully onto Evergreen next to continue the support. I have been transformed from admittedly a helicopter parent who tried gentle parenting a teenager into a badass mum with big panties on to hold on strong for what was chucked back at me. Clear firm boundaries meant she felt secure and was able to stand my company enough to rebond and then completely return to herself and 100% attendance in years 10. Shes now getting her head down studying GCSE subjects. She too is now a little more badass and understands that she needs to focus on what's important for her. Thank you Sam and Davina mostly as you have picked me up a few times and set me right. Look forward to Evergreen. It is time to stop labelling anxious kids unnecessarily and give them what they need. Love, your time and some clear boundaries and show them that mum's and dad's know how to have fun too!!
This course has helped changed my mindset about anxiety. It has helped me understand my back story more and understand why I have been parenting the way I have been, which has been making things worse. It is very much a behavioral program so it will stay with me forever. Thanks for all your support from the young vibes team. You have all been a great support. I was at my wits end before I found this program so I am so forever grateful to have found you.
This program does require a leap of faith to get started but so glad I did. Sam is a character but everything she says resonates and makes absolute sense and has helped us focus back on our daughter’s happiness and welfare over and above the pressure of being in school/college at this point in time. The BEE section for parents is really enlightening and has helped with our understanding of anxiety and where it began and has prompted us to change how we behave, which has enabled a calmer house. Listening to other parents on the Zoom calls and the coaching that Hannah gives is very encouraging and reassuring. I believe that we are in the right place and I am hopeful and excited now to get our daughter on her journey to recovery.
We have just finished Bee and looking forward to our daughter getting involved. The Bee videos explained what are daughter is going through and we are on a voyage of discovery. We look forward to continuing the journey.
My daughter has suffered with anxiety for many years, she is 15 and in her final year of school. I have just completed the first section and have learnt so much already. From the start I felt a feeling of relief and calm and have been supported along the way by Hannah and the team. Within the first week I saw and felt change in my Daughter and the whole family. I now feel hopeful and positive she can recover and live her best life. And also get back into school.
Our son is experiencing extremely high anxiety about every days life but especially about school. We're 4 weeks into the programme and so far it's all positive. We've learnt a lot already and are making changes where required. We're looking forward to progressing to the next stage with our son as feel very confident he will be helped.
We joined this to help our daughter who was school refusing. This course was an massive help for my partner and I to get our life back on track and have a calmer house. The biggest challenge was making the change but like anything with enough practice it's becomes easier and habits change.
This program has been amazing for us and our child is now content and settled in school. It definitely requires time and dedication and makes you stop and get some awareness of your own anxiety levels too, which is never a bad thing. The zoom sessions with Davina and Hannah are the jewel in the crown! They are amazing.

Jan 06,2025We joined the programme in May and are now moving into the Evergreen section. Our daughter, and ourselves, have come a long way since joining and although she’s not back in school full time yet she’s progressed and is happy in all other aspects of life again so we’re hopeful she’ll get there with school too 😊
