Mindfulness Groups, Courses and Workshops Testimonials

“Thank you for yesterday's mindfulness session. You were amazing. A natural facilitator in this field, you totally embodied all that you were talking about and created an engaging environment for your subject. I loved every minute!"

/ Ellen P /

"It was a brilliant session that was both thought provoking and inspirational."

/ Matt V /

 "Anna's wealth of knowledge and experience is evident throughout the course, she creates a safe space in which to share and have your own experience, I found the structure of the work we did helped me to successfully embed this practice into my life and now have a brain full of mindfulness activities to dip into throughout my day, which is immensely helpful when suffering from anxious thoughts or worry."

/  Emma B  /

"I started Mindfulness on a 6 week course with Anna a few years ago and I have never looked back. I would encourage everyone to first undertake this course and go on from there with Anna. I did not imagine it would have a deeply transformative impact on my life and has ultimately led to a healthier, happier and compassionate relationship with people around me. It has enhanced my wellbeing."

/ Margaret M /

"I would thoroughly recommend this course! Practising meditation/mindfulness is absolute bliss! I went into your 8 week course thinking I'd just get to practise doing it a bit more (than I'd been finding time to do by myself) but not only did I get that, but I came away with so much more - including a much better awareness of myself and a whole group of new friends!”

“Anna recently ran an Introduction to Mindfulness session at the Croydon Crocuses WI, in central Croydon.  It was one of the most relaxing and rewarding evenings many members had attended and the feedback was unanimously positive.  Anna is easy to talk to and has a calm and gentle manner that encourages a sense of wellbeing.  I can thoroughly recommend her for your mindfulness and spiritual needs.”

/  Pandie D, Croydon Women’s Institute  /

“As an experienced mindfulness session leader, Anna was able to hold the children’s attention and the children were able to relax and focus. Anna’s workshop allowed time for stillness within a busy school day, introduced techniques for stillness of mind and gave the children opportunity to discuss the importance of wellbeing. It was lovely to watch the children engaging so positively in the mindful workshop.”

/ SENCo, The Russell Primary /

"Hugely beneficial, interesting and challenging. Something everyone should explore to understand the mind and how you can change thinking.

I would highly recommend this course. Anna is a fantastic teacher and the safe friendly environment meant that we were all comfortable to share our thoughts and experiences. The course is structured and allows you to learn new techniques each week. Do sign up!"

"Thank you for being so thoughtful, so supportive, so non-judgmental (even when you felt the urge!) and for having such a delightfully infectious laugh. You help people to help themselves, helpfully and that is a truly great personal quality to possess. I look forward to doing all this again and carrying it with me through and for my life."

/  Eric C  /

"You provide a safe environment for people to come and practice meditation and within that, offer a variety of different types of guided meditation. Personally, I feel that my ability to both recognise and deal with stress has increased, making me more resilient to potential stress triggers. I've also had some useful self insights, about both good and bad things so my emotional intelligence has probably benefitted as a result."

/ Nathalie M  /

"Thank you for all your classes! They have been really beneficial and I have really enjoyed them :)"

/  D W  /

"Thank you so much for the amazing meditation sessions that you provided whilst I was working in Victoria. I have never felt so relaxed in my whole 53 years as I did for those half hour sessions that I attended in the mornings with your good self. It is not at all as people expect (sitting on the carpet cross legged) but it was what I looked forward to every week. You have such an amazing soft voice and as you know you transported me to a soft fluffy cloud every week. The Audio link that you forwarded us is the most amazing thing.  I use it almost every night to relax before bed and it definitely helps me sleep easier and longer."

/  Christine B  /

"I would like to thank you for opening my eyes to finding the balance allowing me to be kinder to myself as well as your many words of wisdom."

/  Kim A  /

"These sessions really help you to stop and take time to focus on self... Anna is very calm and directs the sessions in a way that will leave you at ease and energised"

/  Sherene B  /

"I really look forward to the meditation group every week. It's a haven of tranquility in a busy week and I've benefitted enormously from its influence at home and at work. The classes have given me tools to use that help me maintain my sense of perspective, keep me calm when  I feel overwhelmed with my workload and show me how to fully recognise and enjoy the many simple pleasures in life that I tended to overlook. I'd recommend it to anyone."

/ Lisa Waugh, NHS /

“ I recently attended a Mindfulness Facilitation Course that was run by Anna. She provided a warm and friendly environment that made me feel welcome and comfortable to practice. Her explanation and relating practice to everyday life was great. I really enjoyed the course and found it hugely beneficial.”

/ Joanna Smith, NHS /

“Your sessions were amazing I took a lot away from them and I am now practicing and facilitating with confidence!”

/ Suki Bhogal, NHS /

Anna has a calming and sensitive ‘aura’ which instantly makes you feel relaxed in her presence. She listens to everyone’s questions and addresses them with consideration and practical advice.  Anna is an inspirational because she practices what she preaches. She is living proof that these techniques can be life changing. It has been a great learning experience and I am already using Mindfulness in a constructive way. I hope that I will also find it life changing.
