Being human means we face challenges and suffering each day as we navigate our way through our lives.

 "When we understand how to be with the good, the bad and the ugly of our emotions, thoughts, and body sensations, we feel empowered, confident, liberated, and strong "

Testimonials

  • “  “I can't stress enough the importance of giving yourself a space where you can freely express your thoughts. Being more cognisant of looking before I leap and taking time before responding is one of the most rewarding skills I have gained. I have already seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.”  - F. Kelly.”

  • “ The 8 week MBSR course has equipped me with life skills. It has brought me back to the person I had traded in to fit in! My self awareness, self esteem and confidence have all improved so much." R. Millner..”

  • Gemma was a most gentle and knowledgeable instructor on the MBSR course.I thoroughly enjoyed each session. A safe environment was created for all interactions. I have learned many new strategies and practices, many of which I hope to use long into the future. ”Maria Marrinan”

  •  The wide range of personal tools consolidated, developed and expanded in the course were wonderful. It helped to ground me and give me the sign posts on how I can continue to deal with stress in my life. We rarely get these moments in a busy and overwhelming world. Thank you Gemma. “E. Tallon”

  •  I was a reluctant student. As Mindfulness has become a 'buzz-word' it was something disregarded. I am converted. We were guided through simple yet powerful practices and I immediately found the benefits and effects. “Paul Sherwin”
