I have had issues with my son for many years, probably too long and deep to go into here. However, in desperation I contacted a group called young vibes. After an hour zoom call I was put straight to a payment page and paid the first week up front . I wasn't intending to do that, I just wanted information. I did feel enormously pressured. The person I spoke to told me how supported I would be I tried to tell him the reasons for joining, he pushed it aside and said Kelly, we've heard it all. Everyone here has been through what you're going through. I wish I had stopped at that point... he went on to tell me how straight away you're put in a group chat on WhatsApp where you will be speaking to mothers just like yourself, that you watch three videos a day and you are encouraged to attend as many zoom calls as possible and that there are yoga videos morning and evening to help you relax. The thought of support and kindness was irresistible to me. As soon as I started though, I knew I'd made a mistake. The group chat is full of desperate women talking over each other, no one supports you because they are looking for support themselves. Sam pops up in the group chat and I was horrified by the way she spoke to some of the women. i stuck it for a few days until I saw some disgusting videos that she had put on and the way she spoke about people was revolting and clearly the stories she tells are embellished orange fabricated. In the chat she asked people to put a review on Trust pilot so I did, then I went on the group chat to tell her I had done that, wished everyone good luck and said this is not for me m Within two hours they had challenged my review on Trust pilot, specifically the part where I mentioned Sam and what she has done. Luckily I have taken some screen recordings of the videos
No one ever answers the phones, I tried to cancel almost immediately I've asked for refunds and my emails are ignored as well as the calls. I get to she is trying to tell people to show tough love. I don't, know whether there is any merit in this however we would all agree one size does not fit all and for me the issues were a lot more deep than my son not wanting to go to school it was so much more nuanced . I urge people please do not part with your money on the basis of them smarming you on a zoom call

@Kelly51xx am so sorry to hear how you’ve been treated by them. It’s been happening for years and they are still using the same tactics and guilt-tripping parents 😞 please know there is a national network of parent carer peer support groups who have a child or young person experiencing mental health issues/school based trauma included which you can find if you google search Charlie Waller trust ‘place network’ you will find local groups which DON’T charge anything and who have amazing members, resources and workshops by those with years of real lived experience. Best wishes and good luck in your journey with your son 🙏🏼🤗

@kelly51xx Really sorry this has happened to you too. There are many of us just on here that have had very bad experiences with Sam and her company of many names. Glad you saw it early and got out. Same is horrid with no scrupples.

Hello, thanks for replying. Hope I'm replying properly. Just finding my way around. I feel gutted and ashamed of myself for being foolish. Thanks for the info, I will have a look x

Kelly51xx · 11/10/2026 18:04

She has responded to my message on Trust pilot calling me a liar and that she would never use bad language. I wish I could post it here. I am so grateful that I screen recorded what she said today on the videos and if anyone would like to hear it or see it I can send it to you because I am not lying. she has responded saying that I got personal about the women but all I said was that these women are desperate, because they are, to help their children and I have amended my trust pilot review to address her lies.

Dont feel foolish. We get to a point where we will try anything to help our child and unfortunately there are some people out there willing to take advantage.
