Testimonials

From Professionals

"George is a terrific motivator. He gets our clients to recognize and face their fears and anxieties, regardless of where they are in the recovery process. His Day of Discovery adventure program is always one of the highlights of a client's stay. I recommend his program to anyone in recovery, or any group or individual who values the strength inherent in the human spirit. He has the ability to tap into that strength."
Matt Hannigan
Summit Centers Malibu

"George brings care and thoroughness to his work with our clients. The feedback from clients and staff has been consistently positive and the insight and compassion he brings sets him apart from other facilitators I have worked with."
Daniel G. Gatlin Ph.D, CADC
Executive Director
Renaissance Malibu

“My clients get six months of therapeutic value from just one day on your program.”
Michael Norris, LMFT

"What makes George so remarkable - in addition to his intuitive ability to recognize problem areas in a client's psyche - is his sensitive and soulful way of dealing with people. George is loving and compassionate while pushing people to their limits. He moves them into feats of daring - both on the ground and in the air."”
Dr. Seth C. Kadish
Clinical Director
Milestones Ranch Malibu

"The most important thing that I observed and felt was the warmth and caring that you showed with each person--and with me. You used your experience as a father, teacher to identify each person’s fear and then encourage them to face that fear.”
Thomas A. Daniel MD. Psychiatrist

"I have had the privilege of being associated with George for almost a year. Some clients have described having a “life-changing” experience as fears and issues of trust are faced. We are truly grateful and appreciative of the work George does with our clients. The course has become a huge part of our client’s journey to recovery and wellness."
Caroline Clarke, MA
Program Director

"The power of the training is due to three factors. The first is the activity itself and how it gets clients to learn by doing first and talking second instead of the reverse. The second is the level of expertise of the facilitators. George Martin-Mauser has a keen intuitive ability that allows him to provide feedback that is uncommonly insightful, perceptive, direct and compassionate. The third is the debriefing that occurs after the activity."
Dan E. Staso, Ph.D.

"Most of our clients come into our facility with depression, anxiety and some form of substance abuse. They have low self esteem and feel hopeless about their future and self medicate with their substance of choice. George’s course has been the single most important event that consistently gets the highest scores in our discharge evaluation and outcome studies. Increase of self esteem, feelings of success, trust, breaking through fear barriers, fun, teamwork, communication and accomplishment are but a few of the works I hear from clients after the course.George is able to see, understand and empathize with this mentally ill population in a manner that makes me proud that he is associated with us."

You guys rock! You’re right, it’s not about the ropes.

I’ve never met a man like you.
Andrew D.

"I’ve been in and out of recovery lots of times. After this I know I won’t be back. When you had me call my mom on the cell phone and ask her to support me after I climbed the pole, I realized I’ve needed her support for such a long time and was afraid to ask for it."
Pamela H.

"You are good, world class. I think you have more intuitive guts and raw spiritual fire than anyone I have ever met."
Tara D.

"I will end this tribute to you with a statement you can feel free to quote at an time. Your program is an experience that takes one physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually into such a deep-felt rearrangement of those elements of self that transformation is inevitable. And you make it happen. God Bless you for that."
