The MBSR course is just fantastic……if you do the work you will realise changes. Susan is a wonderful facilitator. Deeply knowledgeable yet humble, with a real passion for mindfulness and an amazing capacity to communicate and share the skills. This was also the best online training course I’ve ever done; clear, really well paced and well thought out for online format.” “The MBSR course for me was a chance to find a way of managing stress in a more productive way and it completely did that. I came away from the course with strategies to help me in responding to stress and also with a new mindset on how my reaction to stress could change too. The course was completed in the comfort of my own home which was a huge benefit for me….. It was a nice size group and everyone was extremely welcoming and respectful. All information was confidential which was an important aspect for me…… Susan was an amazing facilitator who really went above and beyond for each of us…… For me, Susan made the course what it was…simply outstanding. Overall, I highly recommend this course.” “Very clear communication……the programme was very clear and very well paced…..the online engagement was very well thought out and worked surprisingly well……..A bit of humour as well so that things didn’t feel overly serious……really felt like Susan was looking out for us personally and as a group throughout the course.” “Susan was very relaxed in her facilitation. Her passion for practicing and sharing mindfulness was very obvious, her knowledge and experience shone through.” “Having suffered from chronic insomnia for most of my adult life, I had no expectations of being able to change my sleep patterns when I began the mindfulness course with Susan. But the body scan is magic. Susan’s soothing voice and calming phrases manage to still my anxious restless thoughts…… I found some of the other practices on Susan’s MBSR course wonderful in helping me to recognize and manage my stress levels – while the body scan tends to relax me so much that my exhausted mind and body fall asleep, the sitting practice gives me a sense of stillness and quiet awareness – something worth making time for, especially when life gets hectic or pressured.”
