I have attended all of Diane and Robert's courses over the 20years I have known them, repeated many (as a promoter) and look forward to my next one with them. They are both magnificent facilitators and teachers.
The workshops run by Beyond the Ordinary are fantastic. Both Diane and Robert are awesome facilitators and educators, but most of all beautiful people. Their work has changed my life and that of so many family and friends. I could not recommend any of their courses highly enough.
I was introduced to Diane through 'The LifeLine Technique'. I am sooo grateful that she discovered it, invited Dr Darren Weissman to Australia, and now hosts him coming here. It has meant that I have been able to be trained in this amazing technique. I use it on myself (most days) to transform emotional issues that I can get stuck in. It makes my life so much lighter, joyful and peaceful. I am also now a Certified Lifeline Technique practitioner so I also share it with others. Thank you Diane
Quite simply, Diane McCann gives you a torch and some tools so that you can tackle the scariest 'broken feeling' bits of your heart, draw any injuries or shadows out from that squished down, glossed over place where you've tried to ignore them for so long, and while holding your unlimited success as her intention, she lovingly kicks you up the ...... so you move forward & get the success you want in the area of life that's showing up as problematic (and well beyond it). Brave and pioneering..
I have been an advocate of BTO for ...must be nealry 20 years.
They have run personal growth & relationship seminars and bought amazing speakers and teachers to Australia during that time. Their commitment to systems that make the running of their seminars are exemplary. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend participating in anything that they run as I know their passion to be change agents in the most integrous way is what makes their lives tic. It is my great honour to recommend them and I 100% support their work.
The experience I had with Beyond The Ordinary was exceptional in every circumstance and on every level. The professionalism and personal attention was outstanding and I would have no hesitation in recommending any of this businesses offered courses or programs to anyone who wants to grow, learn, and flourish.
I've been a client of Beyond The Ordinary since the 1980s, participating in workshops like Money & You, Powerful Presentations, Man's Inner Journey among others. I have always found the business & people running it to be of the highest integrity, the highest caliber, able to support participants & lead them to growth in areas personal, professional, and emotional. I've experienced positive results & seen similar in others, and all the happiness resulting from it. I unreservedly recommend Beyond the Ordinary to you.
Are you ready to heal? To be all that you can be? To love everything about yourself? To have the best support network ever imagined? ...... Then "The Goddess Within" is for you.
I participated in the Goddess Within workshop with Diane in October 2012 and I can whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who may be thinking of participating. Diane created a safe & welcoming space that enabled me to learn and grow. I feel that she truly cared about me as a participant. From a practical / business perspective her attention to detail is SOOO impressive! Every dealing I have had with Beyond The Ordinary has been highly professional. I look forward to attending more courses in the future!
Care factor is 100%. Coming from a heart space with integrity and passion is definitely "Beyond the Ordinary"
The name alone stands for the authenticity of this organisation.
My husband Gerald and I did Tantra over four years ago, and have participated another three times. Diane and Robert are masterful facilitators and create an environment of safety, dignity, and respect. Their knowledge, skill, and generosity are a gift, and I thank them for enabling us to enhance our relationship in such a nurturing and powerful way. (No, nothing weird happens .....!) This program should be a 'must do' before any couple marries or embarks on a long term commitment together - our divorce rate would plummet! I recommend this program unreservedly.
Approximate cost: $3500
"The best gift I could have given myself was doing the Goddess Within workshop with Diane McCann. Not that I knew that it was such a gift then. It has awakened me to be conscious of my thoughts and the choices I make. Diane is a powerful and inspiring speaker and her words have touched the innermost core of my being. She has shown me that I am enough. To first accept all that happens and then to make conscious decisions; not necessarily to be better or be more but to create no more conflict, in other words, to create peace in my life. It is so liberating. And amazingly from this place of peace, life becomes a joy with wonderful experiences. In the workshop, Diane creates a safe, humorous and heart warming environment for us, women to open our hearts and explore what is it to become a courageous human being."

Sounds really rewarding. So many good reviews on here to read...
Having done seminars with Beyond The Ordinary over the last 30 plus years, I can testify with confidence that the information, workshop environment, and community of like minded people are well worth the time, money and effort to do their courses. My participation at Goddess Within, Spiral Journey, and Tantra for Couples (amongst many other courses) has given me insights and tools with which to enhance my life and, subsequently, my family. Diane and Robert are superlative presenters and teachers. Thank you for the opportunity to give this assessment.
The quality of Beyond The Ordinary's processes in providing the administration and associated professional service for the Life Line Technique is exemplary. The integrity and passion of both Diane and Robert in their quest for world peace cannot be questioned.
A wonderful business with dedicated, passionate and skilled people who consistently deliver value and make a huge difference to individuals, couples and the planet! Robert and Diane present hugely impactful programs that change peoples lives for the better. Highly recommended!

My first reaction when i first met and saw Dianne leading M.I.J was, why is there a female teaching this man's course...and what can she possibly teach us about a mans 'inner' journey?? Once i heard Dianne speak, it all made sense. I watched her soften 15 men who were initially closed off or guarded on arrival, just through the safe space Dianne creates, which is full of love and individual attention that we all get when it is needed...not to mention her down to earth humor, which made it all light and fun!! I believe there is no way M.I.J could have worked if it had been solely run by a man alone...after all, it was mainly a man that put us there in the first place!! The Knowledge and information Dianne has through research is out of this world, and she is one of the very few teachers i have met, who leads by example by living and breathing with what she teaches...
Approximate cost: $A very good price for change...
Having first met Diane McCann as a participant in her Goddess Within workshops, I can honestly say that the ensuing years have only served to deepen my appreciation for this woman and the work she does.
A passionate believer in women and the role they have in our society, as healers, lovers, mothers, friends, she works to remind us that each and every one of us is valuable and worthwhile and will be missed should we not be there anymore.
Diane fills up with joy and love and excitement and gratitude when she works with us and she celebrates with each of us as we grow through our tears and our laughter. I would and do, recommend Diane and her workshops, for both men and women, to everyone I know. And if only there was some way to get them into the year 12 curriculum – what empowered men and women we would gift the world with. Her business is us, and she never lets us forget it.
I was first referred to Diane McCann in 1997 and since then both my husband and I (separately and as a couple) and our sons, have participated in a number of personal development courses with Diane and her partner Robert.
In each and every case our expectations have been exceeded and the results have been life-changing. I can't recommend Beyond the Ordinary highly enough.
The Goddess Within came at a time when I was desperately looking for guidance and opened a whole new world of opportunity and insight. The level of support offered through the years has brought me deep friendship and a sense of belonging that had been missing all my life.
The space that Diane and Robert created and the teachings and wisdom they imparted during their
Tantra course was a beautiful, supportive and safe. It literally saved our marriage.
Man's Inner Journey showed my men a different way of being and I am so proud of the way they live their lives and how they relate to women.
I am forever grateful.
Approximate cost: $Different for each course, but worth every cent
I have done all workshops with this business except the Tantra workshop since 1984~! And I have repeated and assisted at many of the workshops offered over the years. This business always brings to Adelaide and Australia cutting edge information and techniques that make a profound difference in people's lives as it did for mine. My life changed when I trained with Diane in breathwork in 1985 and I have run a successfull consultancy practice as a therapist since then.
The workshops that Diane facilitates produce amazing results in personal growth that are long lasting. She is passionate about helping people and is constantly updating herself with the latest cutting edge information. On top of all this she is truly a beautiful, caring person who shines a light on each person she comes in contact with.
To put into words what I have gained by doing and redoing some of the amazing courses offered by Beyond The Ordinary would take up too much room and still seem insufficient!! I encourage and invite you to see for yourself just how life changing doing one of Diane McCann-Matthews' courses can be and determine for yourself the value of true self discovery and every lasting change and how it will look in your life!! Pick up the phone or surf over and see what Beyond the Ordinary has to offer!! You'll be surprised at how much of this will be just what you've been looking for!! Whether alone or in a group try one of their courses near you soon :) You'll thank yourself for it and the friends you'll make will last forever!!
I think I will have a look now!
workshops with Beyond The Ordinary have opened up my mind and heart to live my life with more compassion, understanding and hope. I have met wonderful friends through the workshops and my life is so much more complete.
I have known Diane McCann Matthews and Robert Matthews since 2009 and attended the LifeLine training, which was the best healing technique and self development training I have ever been to. It has changed my life. Later I attended 2 more trainings organised by Beyond The Ordinary by Diane these were the Goddess within and Spiral Journey. Truly amazing training sessions, very empowering, they were beyond my expectation. Diane has a gift to teach and the services delivered by her via Beyond the Ordinary were and are of very high quality. I also attended presentations organised by Beyond the Ordinary, and the speakers they invite are always very good, very engaging and lots to learn from.
I ordered several products from Beyond the Ordinary, i.e. books, DVDs and CDS and other products. The service I received was always of the highest quality, prompt and perfectly done. Their customer service is excellent. I could not praise them more. Every single training I have attended at Beyond the Ordinary was of very high quality and it always met my expectations, it even went beyond that. I have very high regard for Beyond the Ordinary and Diane and Robert's work, they are amazing people. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. They always deliver 100% and more, they respond to emails, questions and requests promptly, they are very helpful, they provide the correct information and deliver what they promise every single time. Highly trust Beyond the Ordinary's services and recommend them to everyone. I am very lucky and privileged to have known them for the last 4 years. Thank you so much.
