"I highly recommend this Mindfulness for Sleep Wellness course for anyone who is having difficulty with their sleep, and who also wants a better understanding of the mechanisms of sleep. The introduction and integration of mindfulness not only provides a tool to help with sleep but also gives so much more! We were taught several different mindfulness-based practices and I looked forward to these moments at every session. I strongly recommend anyone who is suffering from insomnia, finding hard to fall asleep or staying asleep to attend the Mindfulness for Sleep Wellness Course."

"Even though I'm already practicing Mindfulness, coming together as a community to practice, to learn & apply the foundations of Mindfulness in Sleep Wellness was really very helpful in "being" with my sleep.

The Mindfulness for Sleep Wellness Course helped me in understanding the physiology & psychology related to sleep with very useful research and tips.

I am now able to sleep better and discovering my new found "relationship" with Sleep."
