I took the 8 Week MBSR course and I can’t even begin to describe how it has helped me. I had been dealing with general anxiety and stress for many years and this course taught me different coping strategies and ways in which I can ground myself and relax. I now practice mindfulness regularly and I have this course to thank for it.

I took the 8 Week MBSR course to understand how meditation can help support individuals with chronic pain and every day stressors. After taking this course, I can confidently say that this course helps to change the relationship that one has with pain, and make it more manageable. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and am now looking at next steps on how to become a trained facilitator myself so that I can help support the patients that I work with at my clinic.
