'The mindfulness course I did with Judy exceeded my expectations. I always remember the first session of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course. It changed something in me and I think differently everyday since. The MBSR course, is not an easy course to do, as it is 8 weeks and quite intensive, but what you put in - you get back. It was a great opportunity to look at life and begin to experience my life in a new way. Judy is a gift in human form. '

'I am so grateful I did a Mindfulness course with Judy. All the sessions in the course were beneficial. It made me see how I think, look at and react to so many situations in my life. I also really enjoyed our group discussions, we learned so much from each other in a safe place to be heard and listened to'.

'Judy has a great voice and mannerisms for this field of work. She is a kind and gentle soul. Judy brings this course to life, giving it a unique pulse. I loved the learning every week, there was also something new and radical to take away. I also loved the environment where the courses are held. It couldn't be more ideal. I highly recommend taking a mindfulness course with Judy.'
Barry (Mindfulness Course participant)
'I came into a Mindfulness course with Judy knowing nothing about Mindfulness. Now the course is finished, I only wish I had taken up Mindfulness 40 years ago. But it was a privilege to have completed it now. I loved the natural rhythm of every session, and how the learning all unfolded almost by itself. A wonderful course with a wonderful facilitator - Judy was so interesting, patient, insightful and a delight to learn from'.
Paula (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course Participant)
' I really loved completing this course with Judy. It was long and it was hard work. The best part and the most challenging part was the Retreat Day. A whole day of Mindfulness and so much silence. I learned how to be with myself. I learned to actually connect with myself and to actually be with my experiences after all these years. I didn't know what connecting with myself even meant before that. I loved the practices we did on the retreat day too. The home practices are tricky to fit in, but it is all about integration mindfulness in our daily lives, not just a couple of hours a week. It was so good to increase my awareness, and I think that the group setting is ideal in this respect. I feel Judy delivered each session with such professionalism and compassion. I highly recommend this course for anyone who truly wants to really discover what Mindfulness is all about'.
Molly (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course Participant)
'In the first session, it was all so new and strange really. Learning what mindfulness and meditation is really all about. My mind was going crazy the first day. But I have been improving every week since then. It was an excellent course, and Judy was so mindful of our individual needs throughout the course. She is a fantastic teacher. I look forward to our monthly gatherings at the clinic.'
