What Clients say about our Mindfulness at Work Course…

Wonderful course on mindfulness that fully fitted our needs and complimented our WellBeing Programme. Joanne’s enthusiasm and empathy encouraged full interaction from all participants and the feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive.
I would highly recommend both the course and Joanne as a facilitator.

Helsinn

Joanne is an amazing Trainer & Facilitator - I couldn't speak more highly of her.
We had a company mindfulness day and all of our team loved it, so practical and personalised to our group, every individual got a lot from it and there were lots of actionable takeaways from the day. Very engaging and inspiring. I highly recommend Joanne.

Matrix

Joanne is a great facilitator, and I found her approach to Mindfulness really easy to understand. Joanne brings every day examples into her training and helps everyone in the room relate to how they can use mindfulness in their day to day lives. The Mindfulness at Work course was broken into manageable modules and the practice meditations were great tools to keep us on track between sessions.

Kelloggs

I’ve enjoyed this course more than I’ve expected. I’ve learned new things about me, how to control them and I’ve also reminded myself of some things that I already knew already, plus, I started practicing. I think mindfulness can help us be happier and less stressed and the way Joanne led this journey was eye-opening and delightful.

3 courses annually to staff each for the last 3 years
“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed and benefited from your recent Mindfulness course. I could really tell that you “walk the talk” and that comes across in your presence. You also made an effort to connect with everyone in the room, which I thought was lovely and inclusive. I will recommend the course to all my colleagues here at RCSI.

RCSI

CLS asked Joanne to run a series of Mindfulness Workshops as part of our employee well-being program. Participants found the program really beneficial in helping to reduce stressful situations, maintain focus on important things, improve employee relationships as well as work / life balance issues. We found Joanne to be excellent in facilitating the workshop and the feedback afterwards was very positive
