TESTIMONIALS
“Learning mindfulness with Jackie has fully changed my attitude towards myself.” (...) Through this course I’ve learned to like myself… maybe even love myself (which is HUGE!). My relationship with others has improved, too. (...) This course has been truly life-changing and I can’t thank you enough. I feel like I’m finally living & I love it! – MBSR Participant
“Taking the MBSR course with Jackie was a transformational experience!” As a committed meditator, I was looking forward to learning more about the science of mindfulness and adding new tools and techniques to my daily practice – what I got was a whole lot more than I could’ve imagined (...) The biggest shift was learning to accept myself and acknowledge whatever is going on inside me in each moment – physically, mentally and emotionally – with love and compassion. I am so much more at ease managing whatever unexpected situations (and emotions) that pop up at any moment. - Amanda T.
