We're proud of everyone who's completed the Be Mindful program and achieved lasting life-changing results

I thought the "Be Mindful Online" course was very beneficial.

The course is brilliantly prepared and presented. Thank you Tessa and Ed. I found it annoying that while I could control some of the course timings and lesson schedule, the course prevented me from rushing through it. The somewhat flexible yet control timing was good for me and I learn from it. I’ve found the course a great introduction to mindfulness. I expect to pursue further course/study/practice in the future.

I went through a very challenging period in my life. Be Mindful helped me cope with my negative thoughts. It gave me a calm and reflective place to go to. Adopt the ‘wisdom of no escape’ and reach out for the strawberry on the vine!

This course has been invaluable to me. It is very user friendly and accessible and easy to fit in to the demands of even the busiest lives! There is a really good mixture of different activities. I found the meditations particularly useful and as the course went on, the words Ed and Tessa use in them, like being kind to yourself and 'mindful curiosity', made more and more sense to me. I also thought the emails they sent to you each week added a real personal touch. I was really amazed to see how much my stress and anxiety levels had gone down at the end of the course and will definitely continue to incorporate the exercises into my daily routine. Thank you so much!

I think if you are looking and at least interested then this is a start on your journey. Take the time you need to complete it, you will find it helpful and makes you think about things in a different way. You might find some areas harder than others and some days harder than others. You will also feel exposed as you allow the changes in your mind to widen, don't be concerned, embrace it and enjoy it...you are in good hands.

I have read some of Jon Kabat Zin’s books, it has been very helpful doing a course based on his work. Thank you.

I have really enjoyed the course and was amazed to find how little connection I had between mind and body until I did the course. It can be scary, but in a good way as you start to realise how it feels to be truly present. Some practice some days felt difficult but the gentle guidance really helps.

Because I'm a full time carer I have little opportunity to leave home to attend outside events. Having an online mindfulness course was invaluable. I have heard from many people how mindfulness had helped them but was still sceptical that it could help me. I was so wrong. Stressful events will always happen and life will always have challenging, unplanned moments, but going through the course has helped me step back from my autonomic responses. I can't control events, but can control my responses and this course has really helped me learn how.

Excellent course. Well worth it. I've put a number of the practices into my everyday life, and I do notice a difference. Early days, but I believe that this will be very positive for me.

This course is extremely user friendly and flexible. You can dip in and out at your own pace. You can re-do a week if you feel you need more time to practice the exercises or understand the concepts. I have really enjoyed taking part and feel motivated to endeavour to use some aspect of mindfulness daily, even if only the 3 minute breathing space. Thank you for what is hopefully a lifelong experience.

Although not new to Mindfulness practice, I found this an excellent refresher course that has encouraged me to continue my practice with renewed enthusiasm. In my opinion the material is very well-presented & would provide a good introduction to Mindfulness for the complete beginner. In Tessa & Ed, you have two kind & friendly teachers to gently guide you as you to set off on your new Mindfulness adventure. So don't be afraid, take the plunge now!

The mindfulness course has helped me to regain control over my emotions. I was reaching a point where I was just so overwhelmed that I cried practically every day. I thought there was no way out. I had tried counselling twice and self-help books (at least three) but nothing was working. This course allowed me to move at my own pace. I was able to go back to previous weeks if I felt I had not done the practices properly. I now feel like I use these strategies in everyday life which is what I couldn't do before. This course gradually helped me integrate mindfulness in to my life and I feel so much better for it.

I found the course extremely helpful and have learnt skills to get me through stressful feelings and my tendency to worry about almost everything.

Thank you. This course is something I could have done with doing twenty years ago. It's been fantastic. Absolutely invaluable. Thank you.

This course has helped me enourmously during a very difficult period of my life. In four weeks, my stress, anxiety and depression levels have decreased by more than 80%. The course was a perfect mix of interesting videos and theory and practical daily exercises. I enjoyed being able to complete the modules on my phone, in my own time. I've already recommended this course to all my friends and will continue to do so! Thank you so much for this brilliant course!

Be mindful is the first step I have taken to help me to relax and to tackle stress related problems without medication. I found the information given throughout the four week course was very helpful to me in understanding the process of mindfulness. The effort to practice mindfulness on a daily basis was worthwhile. I am calmer and more relaxed.

Personally I have found the course of great benefit. I work in the emergency ambulance services and each shift presents unscheduled stressful situations. Having a 3-minute breathing exercise can bring about a more appropriate response to frustration and irritability that comes with such pressures. I have mentioned to colleagues about my undertaking this course and the beneficial outcome I have received. Thank you.

I am going to practice everything I learned on this course for the rest of my life.

A very useful course to get started with mindfulness! I had been doing some online apps but this has helped me to focus my mindfulness. I enjoyed the practices and would recommend this course. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed completing the course and learnt a lot about myself over the 4 weeks. Now to make it part of daily life for good.

Highly recommendable!
