Testimonials

Some testimonials from our graduates

“I really did not know what to expect from my participation in The Four Keys of Living Mindfully program. I thought that I might learn and practice meditation skills; I can say that I have learned and continue to practice meditation since finishing the program.  Meditation is a grounding practice and now an important part of my day.

Additionally, I have learned some important concepts that I can apply to my life so that I can be more attentive to what's going on internally and around me and intentional about what I choose to do, how I choose to show up, and what I want to contribute to those around me and the world.  The program including readings, videos, and discussions gave me the foundation and space to revisit my values and take ownership of each day. Laura and Kevin are excellent facilitators who are very knowledgeable about the material and provide a safe space and encouragement to learners. Rather than being reactive, I can be proactive in aligning my thoughts, behaviors, and work to my values to achieve life satisfaction.”— Lee Anne W.

"You did a wonderful job in so very many ways: great management of classroom details including punctuality, break times and snacks, comfortable chairs/facility, prompt response to emails, working w technology confusions, great weekly follow up letter and reiteration of HW, excellent handouts. Whew….Of course all of the trappings would have been for naught had you not presented the materials in a skilled way. I loved your shared teaching, clear presentations and balance of activities. Probably best of all, however, is that both of you shared personal stories about your own journey with mindfulness and are so committed to helping your students incorporate mindfulness into their daily lives."  — Anonymous

“Laura and Kevin teach by example, not just “by the book.” Sharing their personal stories of how mindfulness has helped them helps me believe with practice and over time, I too will have a more fulfilling life. I’m happier already after just three months!”  — Clare P.
