“The MBSR class has transformed my life by allowing me to tap into the present moment and live a more enriched life with a fresh perspective.”

“This course has helped me give myself permission and the grace to be aware of, present and kind to myself, which has had the added benefit of spilling over to my relationships (family, friends, clients, and students).”

“Janet is authentic and a very caring person. She is very knowledgeable and shares her gift unselfishly. She is very approachable and accessible to all of her students. She made the MBSR program easy to understand and our time together went by too quickly. I will miss our weekly sessions but until we meet again, thank you!” GD

“After taking this course with Janet, I unequivocally believe in the power of a daily mindfulness practice. I’ve developed a greater capacity to live in the present moment and to actively cultivate joy in my life. I’m more aware of my habitual stress reactions, and, as a result, I’m less apt to get tangled up in these maladaptive responses. Instead, I feel a sense of peace knowing that I have choices regarding how I handle stress, tension, and negative thinking. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning how to lead a more mindful and intentional life.” JM

“This MBSR course has helped me experience peace and calm by gently questioning my perceptions and beliefs. Janet helped me understand mindfulness and meditation through research, poetry, breathing, scanning, and noticing one practice and one day at a time. Her guidance and presence is not only comforting and supportive, but her teachings inspired me to learn more, implement what I learned, and practice, practice, practice.” RO

We are reminded that mindfulness is not a practice but a way of living in each moment.” – RL

“MBCT has helped me identify the ways I get stuck in low mood and it has given me practical tools to use to not only improve my mood, but help me be present for my life.” ~ Christie

“I loved this class. It has been a wonderful experience. MBCT has really shown me that if a classmate isn’t hard on me about the experience I am sharing, then why should I be hard on myself? I look forward to revisiting the class materials and practices and a future silent day. Thank you so much!” ~ Ashley

“I’ve learned to accept and allow my feelings and emotions instead of trying to ignore or push them away. I’ve learned to incorporate mindfulness as often as possible throughout my day to ease my anxiety. Using meditation practices has allowed me to feel more calm more often. I am now more aware of the warning signs to low moods and anxiety and that I can take certain steps to improve these thoughts and feelings. Meditation is now a part of my daily routine.” ~ MBCT Participant, 2021

“I felt that the MBCT course really allowed me to face difficult thoughts and feelings, and find–somehow simultaneously–both a closeness to and a distance from them. The skills learned can be applied even in times of tumult, and I’m comforted by knowing I have some more tools in my toolkit to address anxiety and mood troubles in my future. And I can’t say enough
admiring things about Janet’s skill, temperament, and aptitude as a guide in
the exploration of MBCT. I couldn’t have dreamt up a better experience, truly.” ~ MBCT Participant, 2021

“I feel less attached to the stress, low mood, or anxiety. It still feels crummy, but I don’t feel wrapped up as tightly. There’s “breathing room.” – Kelsey, MBCT Participant
