What Our Clients Say…

  • Thank you for the wonderful MBSR workshop the second time around! I really enjoyed each and every class, as well as the day-long retreat. It’s interesting how I picked up completely different things this time and could go deeper from when I did it with you the first time around. You are an amazing teacher who is able to bring a lot of calm to the group, which is contagious - in all the right ways.

  • I just finished Carole's classes and wanted to let you all know that it was a wonderful experience filled with compassion, understanding and patience.

  • I absolutely loved this eight-week course. I learnt many things. It is a combo of mindfulness, yoga and meditation along with tutorials.

  • The MBSR Program has transformed my life. It has taught me so many things especially the importance of being present and compassionate to oneself.

  • A very worthwhile program. Excellent content and practice. Jennifer is a very knowledgeable teacher with a gentle manner, who conveys difficult and at times ambiguous concepts in a non-rigid, complexity-filled manner that allows participants to connect to how it applies in their own life.

  • Jennifer is an awesome instructor, super knowledgeable, with clear guidance. Her energy is so warm and supportive and I found her insights always timely and applicable to my life. I would strongly recommend her classes, and I look forward to others in the future.

  • Wonderful course, wonderful teacher! It really opens your eyes to how much on autopilot I run. Now my eyes and heart are more open. Thank you so very much, Jennifer!!

  • I really enjoyed the MSC retreat, thank you again for guiding us through it. I felt so calm after. I've been loving the [MSC] course, it's been extremely helpful. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for over 2 years now and have never felt better since started the course. So, thank you for that. I can't wait to take your MBSR course in the near future!
