How can Mindfulness Help You?
Many of us want to slow down and experience greater ease, but often find that doing this is not so easy. Mindfulness is a simple practice that connects us to our natural sense of presence. It helps us come to our senses in a very real way and live more fully in the present moment.
Mindfulness for all ages
Mindfulness is over 2500 years old as a practice, but it is only in recent decades that medicine and science have come to recognise the capacity of mindfulness to enhance the quality of people’s lives, particularly in the areas of stress reduction and pain management, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders and panic attacks.

Featured Testimonial
I attended the Mindfulness Self Compassion course in the beginning of 2019. I enjoyed dedicating one evening a week for 8 weeks to learn some of the great tools to be more compassionate to myself and to others. Mary creates an environment in which everyone can be their authentic self. You can be as vocal or as quiet as you want during the sessions. I found self compassion to be a very practical method to manage stress, to surface some of my unmet needs from my past and to understand how to deal with them.
