"Stuart, last weekend I attended your sensory walk at Stratfield Brake. I've walked with you before but never fully immersed myself. As a result I used some of the techniques on my walk to work last week. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the walk more than I ever have, I felt extremely relaxed when I arrived, and was more productive too. Thank you"
"Big thankyou from us and the team. Felt like you got the mix right to - good connections with nature, using all the senses, good stress/pain management techniques and a good team afternoon out. The ones we've spoken to thoroughly enjoyed it and Donna was even preaching to her family last night about shutting out the noise."
"I have known Stuart for several years, as a mentor when I helped him with his business and in a collaborative capacity when we have run workshops together.
• During that time I have always known him to be extremely reliable, cooperative, polite, honest, punctual and a pleasure to be around. He works very well as part of a team."
"Stuart’s immense affinity with Mother Nature comes across with great humour in his wildlife gardening lecture. He challenges tradition and social conditioning, preferring to focus on values."
"Stuart’s ‘Gardening By Numbers’ concept is a wonderful way of offering wildlife gardening tutorials in peoples own gardens. I learnt so much over the course of the year and view the world through new eyes."
"Stuart’s insights into how to convert the activities in his workshops out in nature, into techniques for stress management at work, are unique in my experience. He gives direct tips too in a forthright way into the psychology behind getting the best out of ourselves. Instead of just getting people to work on their strengths he challenges us to confront our weaknesses too. “If your not good and something, make yourself good at it” one of his quotes that still sticks in my mind even now."
"Stuart’s humour instantly put me as a newcomer at ease."
"Having known Stuart Mabbutt for about 5 years now I can verify that he is reliable, hard-working, capable and doggedly conscientious. He is a pleasure to work with and keeps a cheerful outlook even in adversity. He is a caring and friendly man, very easy to get along with and above all, trustworthy. Stuart offers reliability and honesty."

"A week after the nature sensory workshop and still under its spell."
"Stuart’s simple woodland crafts and foraging exercise was a brilliant on the spot addition to the nature sensory workshop. He quickly engaged my young daughter in nature who at the outset didn’t want to be there."
"Thanks again for Saturday, slept really well after that whole outdoor experience. I’m still applying the learning to everyday things much more I’m finding since."
