Finding it hard to manage stress in your business, career or life?

Ready to start untangling comparison, fear and other draining habits?

Know it is time to go within?

Welcome to the Online Learning 8-Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course

The MBSR Course is an innovative eight-week course which supports people to cultivate mental, physical and emotional resilience and well-being. 

The 8-week MBSR Course uses mindfulness practice as the core to teach people how to take better care of themselves and live healthier, more adaptive lives. It has been forged from the integration of transformative Eastern mindfulness practices with contemporary Western scientific understandings of human functioning. This fusion has produced a tailored and verifiable method for treating a wide range of difficulties and enhancing performance and engagement in life and work.

What Will You Learn?

Over the eight-week course, you learn a number of key skills that allow you to tune into and become aware of your experience in the present moment.

Firstly, you establish a routine of spending some time each day by yourself formally practicing mindfulness meditation. By choosing to engage in this practice you will learn how to cultivate deeper states of relaxation and well-being. You will also learn how to bring a moment-to-moment awareness to your experience, and then apply this awareness so you can respond – rather than react in habitual ways – to everyday life situations. This becomes much easier to do when you are regularly practicing the formal meditation each day.

The course provides an opportunity for you to examine and reflect on the patterns of your own mind, feelings and actions, and to gently interrupt patterns of self-judgment and unhelpful actions.

We learn how to accept and embrace the full range of experience that life inevitably brings – pleasurable, joyful and expansive experience as well as painful conditions in their various forms – worry, anxiety, tension, impatience, anger, grief, sadness and even despair. Moving towards these conditions with an inquiring attitude, rather than trying to hold on to them, or to escape or avoid them, can bring some surprising and refreshing results.

This is why we are going to continually practice coming back to focus on yourself and your needs each week.

What’s included in the 8-Week MBSR Online Course?

Mindfulness training is useful for a broad range of people with diverse backgrounds, ages, interests and levels of well-being. People self-refer or sometimes are referred by their doctors or psychologists because of physical and emotional stressors in their lives. Many enrol because, although they are feeling well physically, they say the pace of their lives is “out of control” or they’re “just not feeling quite right” and want more ease and peace.

Mindfulness training can enhance learning, concentration, creativity, personal resilience and professional effectiveness.

For people with job, relationship and family pressures, it can help with all kinds of day-to-day stress symptoms including headaches, irritability, high-blood pressure, fatigue and sleep disturbances.

It can reduce suffering even for those with serious conditions including mild depression, anxiety and panic disorders, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and chronic pain.

Hi I am Jane…

It doesn’t seem that long ago when I was burnout out, trying to be the best person I could be and not knowing what I truly wanted or who I was. I was very good at denying and betraying myself, whilst looking after other people’s needs and desires before my own.

However, over time that didn’t work out so well and I worked out that I needed to change. Somehow deep within me, I knew that if the world was to change I needed to change, so I started my adventure (and still am to this day). I went to silent meditation retreats and many, many courses and certifications as well as reach out to support to people whom I trust.

You can read more about my adventures on mindfulness and compassion here.

When I am not helping clients, you can find me eating vegetarian food, walking on the beach, talking to friends and family and moving my body.
