When I first started the book, my worry was that Cassandra might immediately dive right into the good stuff and I would be utterly confused. But oh no, Cassandra spends each chapter carefully building up to the tips and techniques that she shares. Nothing is impossible, not too over the top or unrealistic. "Bounce" is a book that leaves a lasting impression." ~Jaclyn Review "Bounce is like a pocket-sized life support that adds a little fun and magic to the experience. Cassandra Gaisford packs a lot of helpful, useful and thoughtful information into this book. Each chapter is sort and the reader can dip in as the mood takes them and find a gem at every stop. One of the many practical strategies I am implementing as a result of reading Bounce is removing all technology from my bedroom. This is a habit born 10 years ago when I was desperate for distraction every minute of my waking day. This is a challenge I am going to rise to. Catherine Sloan, Counselor "Bounce captures a whole range of meaningful topics, tips, and strategies relating to empowering the reader to overcome obstacles build resilience and find their own joy. Simple and transformational ... a personal bible for living ones best life! Cassandra gently supports the reader to 're-programme' their own values and beliefs, creating new habitual ways of thinking from a default mode of operation. A powerful book for every bedside table!" Heather Dodge, Founder and Program Director of Kaleidoscope Solutions "While reading BOUNCE I felt that Cassandra had a unique ability to see deep inside me. She met me at where my fears reside, identified with the sources of my stress, and gently challenged me to break free and move through by providing a range of holistic and science-based tools. I especially loved the broad range of tools she covered - from east to west, and esoteric to scientific. "Cassandra's own explorations are evident in how she connects with the reader. Concepts like I'm broke, I'm lonely, I want to succeed. An easy read chokka full of useful tips for gaining control over your body's reaction to stress. I especially loved the concept of making a list of 'What Not to Do' and developing a 'Miracle Morning Routine'. "Loved the fact it is an easy read and is so incredibly comprehensive in its spectrum of tools covered: eastern and western/physical and psychological/science and esoteric. It's hard to find books that capture this in one space-a comprehensive manual containing a tasting platter of techniques." Tina Drummond, Health and Safety Consultant, Wellness Motivator "I wouldn't typically use the phrase "something for everybody" in reference to a book, but in this case, the description is apt. Each chapter is like a loving permission slip, and readers will be pulled to the ones they most need to receive. With titles like "Unplug," "Laugh and Play," "Massage," and "Mood Food" the reader receives compelling reasons--followed by implementable steps--for acting on the self-care impulses that most of us dismiss daily. The author's conversational style makes for easy reading. I am a life coach, and I just added this book to my suggested reading list for my clients." Sheree Clark, Healthy Living Coach
