Testimonials
“It was a real treat to participate in Kate’s mindfulness retreat. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with those practices you know are good for you but get out of the habit of doing when life gets in the way. Kate is a highly skilled facilitator, she created a well thought-out programme using a variety of techniques and practices throughout the day. It was suitable for all – from those new to mindfulness to more established practitioners. She quickly created a safe, trusting and nurturing environment, even though participants didn’t all know each other. I highly recommend Kate’s retreat as a great way to reconnect with practice or deepen your skills and knowledge.”
Jane Davis, Director, The Flourishing Institute.

Testimonials
“I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for and open to new ways to help with the inevitable challenges that come up in life. I have read about mindfulness over the years and the concepts have always resonated with me. The course has allowed me to integrate mindfulness into my daily life and put the concepts into practice. If you are thinking about the course I’d encourage you to jump in and do it! I love the way the course allowed me to gain insight into what was most important for my individual needs and provided the tools for helping with these needs. I’m enjoying being more present, taking pleasure in the simple things and have new ways of dealing with the less pleasant aspects of life. Kate is a fantastic teacher. She created a wonderful learning environment, guiding our group with skill and care.”
Dr. Amanda Torkington FRNZCGP (General Practioner, Rangiora)
“The MBSR course has helped me truly listen and respond in the moment. It trains you to be more aware of your feelings and your body and respond to people rather then react. As a nurse I have seen so many benefits both for myself and for the others.”
