Testimonials

I have been blessed both by GraceWins to receive support and training. The greatest attribute that GraceWins offers is they believe no one is beyond hope. Their support and training helped me have an empathic heart, a non-judgemental mindset, establish boundaries, stop overthinking, live in the moment, and let go of the past. It is my belief being taught to be true to myself that I can help others to help themselves by the Grace of God. Thank you for all your support GraceWins and Percy D"Souza.

Really felt heard and validated. I felt great compassion and genuine humanity from all I had the pleasure to speak and interact with. Thank you very much for all the help and support.

We enjoy gathering as a group to sing with Percy. He brightens our day with his wonderful guitar playing. We look forward to every Wednesday. His discussions are very meaningful.

Pam was a great facilitator, and we learned so much from the group. She created a safe environment for us to share and learn. Connecting with others and sharing experiences gave us a sense that we were not alone, and we could help each other reframe our thoughts to deal with life's challenges better. I would like to thank Pam for all the time and effort she put in to developing and hosting this group. This group is a big part for my healing journey. I really appreciate it, and look forward to the next group.
