"This course has been a positive, life altering experience." – AJ
The original idea was to teach simple Kinesiology techniques to inmates to help them cope with the stressful demands of incarceration. A major objective was to teach inmates the value of taking responsibility for their actions and to equip them with the confidence and skills to ensure successful rehabilitation and re-integration into society. (Currently, more than 25% are re-arrested within 6 months).
Over time, specific, universal stress issues were identified and in order to assist, a life skills paper was written after each training session, which became the backbone of this book.’
Later, carefully selected inmates were taught to facilitate classes for those who could not understand English or would never have volunteered for a course of their own volition. To date, over a 1000 inmates have completed the special workshops run by inmates themselves.

Vision
Gabby’s vision is for this book to become available to every inmate in South Africa and globally.
This is perhaps a ‘world first’ approach that will actively rehabilitate offenders back into society, reducing re-arrest rates, and making our world a safer place.
“I gained mostly from Anger Management, Acceptance and Change as well as from Communication as those are areas where I lacked most, now that I know. Grief is also one area where I realised that one needs as we are away from our people outside and a lot of them passed away since I was last outside. Thank you for the book.”
“By reading this book I am really relieved. Since the first day, I am stress free. If I am bored, I try to memorise these exercises and I feel really relaxed. I can even communicate with other inmates. I like to thank Gabby and fellow students for helping me break from this fear. Thank you very much.”
"I will use what I have learned on my friends, children and my family anytime! This book works like a magic. It is unbelievable what it can do for a person”
“I can safely say this book has been a positive, life altering experience. I have the necessary skills to face stress, anger and depression. Alcohol and drugs are not the solution but kinesiology is!”
