For many years before joining this program I was constantly feeling in a rush and planning next steps and tasks in a day. I would find myself being preoccupied in my own thoughts and letting things go pass by me without even realising that they were part of my daily life. For example, I wouldn’t notice birds chirping while I was taking my boys to breakfast club. Now instead, while on the same journey I hear birds and actively engage my boys to listen as well. Our mornings feel much better now. I learned many techniques on this program, and they help me in day to day life. I still use many of them on daily basis. They made me feel more present and conscious. Now, when I reflect on my day I can remember many small things like taste , smell , breeze , warmth of my jumper, softens of my children skin when they hug me etc. Joining this program made me aware how safe and calm I can feel in my own body. My reasting heart rate improved and I proudly can say that I never slept better . I really enjoyed Sarah’s approach. Always very structured and at the same time very open and caring . What a great listener. She gives enough time for all group exercise with a good eye contact. Her voice is soothing and healing at the same time.

“I enjoyed the program very much. It was a safe space to share your thoughts, feelings, successes and failures. The program gave me tools to help me slow down and actually experience and appreciate moments of my life. It also taught techniques to check on how my body is reacting to different situations and understand why. The teaching quality was amazing. I could feel that she very passionate about the subject (which is extremely important in a teacher). She created a safe environment to share our personal thoughts and feelings. I would love to take another similar course or even repeat this one, as it helped to actually dedicate some time to myself.”

“Joining this program made me aware of how my days passed by without really being a part of it. It was the little things that we take for granted. The trees around us, people passing you by on the street, on the tube. How busy I was being pre-occupied by playing my phone instead of just being present and observing. This resulted me in being calmer and not so much in a hurry. Appreciating the world around me and really noticing even the smells and tastes better. I was doing this more consciously rather than unconsciously. You know how we do things just because we have always done them, now I am thinking, why am I doing it this way and how does it taste and feel. I really enjoyed Sarah’s approach as it was very open and sunny. Always with a smile. She let you express yourself with good eye contact, is a great listener and her voice is very soothing for the exercises.”
