Here’s what one recent client said:
‘During the 8 weeks I have experienced reduced stress, reduced reactivity to frustrations, lower anxiety, reduction in irritability, better relationships with family, ability to notice more quickly when I need to take a break from work, increased enjoyment in the simpler things in life, ability to cope better with my migraines, reduction in the impact of my tinnitus, better sleep, a general increase in positivity.
Of course, the benefits of mindfulness do not switch on like a light simply by attending the course. To make changes, we have to work at it.
Lucy provides easy to access science behind the benefits and unwavering support and encouragement to help you embed practice into your life. If you are a human 
, I urge you to take this course, because all humans should be trained in this simple technique.’
Mindfulness does not claim to be a cure for anything, rather it is a technique which enables you to notice more quickly when your mind is no longer present and to short-circuit the unhelpful patterns of behaviour which keep you fixated on the past and prophesizing about the future.
When difficult thoughts or emotions do arise, mindfulness teaches us to allow those thoughts and feelings to be present and to just see if we can be OK with it. You may have heard the phrase “what we resist, persists”, so by allowing the challenging emotions, by not trying to push them away, you may find that they become less intense and you can be alongside them, knowing that it is always OK to turn away if things become too difficult.
