I have known Sara for many years. Firstly, as a physiotherapist and teacher of Pilates and more recently as a teacher of Mindfulness. I attended Sara’s 8 week course on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

Mindfulness was a new area to me and I felt a little apprehensive. However, I had every confidence as I knew Sara well that she would provide a rational, caring and supportive approach. As indeed she did. I found the course challenging at times but helpful. I have been able subsequently to apply and use many of the techniques I learnt.

I would recommend this course and Sara as a teacher.

Sara is an empathetic and professional teacher. I felt safe in her classes and found the sessions have help me in my day to day life.

As a long term sufferer of chronic pain I had been interested in exploring mindfulness for a while to see if it could help with both pain and stress. When I heard about Sara’s 8 week course I went along not knowing what to expect but hoping to gain an understanding of what mindfulness was about and how to use it.

Each week Sara talked us through the theory behind mindfulness in order to understand the principles and she also led us in different types of meditation practice with the opportunity to ask questions and share and discuss our experience within the group if we wanted to. The course was a great introduction and really delivered an understanding of how being mindful can be used and help in coping with everyday life. I now use the techniques regularly and am looking forward to continuing with Sara’s weekly classes to build on the skills I have learned.
