TESTIMONIALS

My clients have always had lovely things to say about our mindfulness instructor, Felicity. I have recommended quite a few of them take the chance and attend. Most have been very pleased with the course and have reflected that they have gained awareness, skills and benefited from the course material. My client is a success story on a whole other level. After repeating the course at least four times, (Level 1 at least three times and Level two once); she has done more than self-report the benefits- her engagement in our counselling, her improved regulation skills and her overall functioning at home and at work, all appear to be an outcome of her participation in the courses. She and I drew the analogy today of a rubics cube- the pieces shifted into alignment (the colours match up better now). She is even able to identify the moment in the class when she recognized the shift occurring.

My client and I acknowledge the changes and I can tell you that she is able to do a level of deeper work that she and I were never able to get to because she was so reactive and dysregulated.

Just want to give you this feedback and I hope that I can send lots of clients to Felicity and hopefully they too will benefit!

She is an exceptional instructor and I hope you will pass on my appreciation to her.

Felicity is an excellent teacher. She is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about mindfulness and meditation and all related matters. Despite her extensive knowledge and experience Felicity always makes you feel very comfortable and welcomes any questions and ideas you may have. You can tell that she practices the subject matter and she always responds without judgement. The courses gave me a real understanding of mindfulness that have deeply impacted my life. I will definitely be returning to my 3rd course with Felicity.

I’m pretty much of a skeptic, but this has opened the topic a fair bit.
