Testimonials

I cannot recommend this Mindfulness Meditation and Contemplative Studies program highly enough. It has done as much for me personally as professionally. An intelligent and heartfilled course that guides you to be an informed meditation teacher and helps you find your own centre.

- Gab, CEO/Artistic Director of ‘Studio A’’, MMT Graduate

This course far exceeded my expectations. It was life changing. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to teach meditation, shift perspective and strengthen their own practice!

-Anj, Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Graduate, Yoga Teacher

“Michele’s teaching style is suited to all levels of experience. Her warm and open approach guided me along a journey of self-discovery and helped me to find practical ways of returning to the present moment throughout my busy day. I found Michele to be an excellent communicator.  She showed genuine interest in my journey and I always felt like I’d been heard in my interactions with her. Michele has an amazing way of connecting the real world with the sacred space of meditation, which is evident in through her teaching style and the contents of the lessons. I would highly recommend any opportunity to work with Michele.“

- Brooke, Clinical Psychologist & School Counsellor

“The pace of the teachings and the content covered was so well adapted to each of the varying individual backgrounds and needs within the group that at no point was I left feeling out of my depth or bored by familiarity. Michele's depth of knowledge, combined with her responsiveness to each participant, engendered a clear sense of individual learning supported within the collective. The teachings and content were so rich that I found there was a dual process of both tying the learning to my own meditation and yoga practice, but also instant clarity around what aspects would be helpful to particular clients with whom I work. There is something for everyone in these teachings, and I have no doubt that we each took away something unique and different, but the support and learning nurtured together as a group was invaluable! My humblest thank you to Michele for contributing to another step in my personal journey.”

- Dr. Jen, Clinical Neuropsychologist

I want to say a massive thank you. The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training course content you have curated and shared, imbued with your wisdom and experience has been exceptionally inspiring and motivating.

-Nerida, Health Retreat Manager, Yoga Teacher, MTT Graduate

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning and meditating with Michele. She makes you feel at ease, explaining the concepts in easy to understand terms. Her weekly E-Course practices have made me realise each one’s meditative awareness is a unique experience, as we ask questions of ourselves there are no wrong answers. Her meditation program helped me navigate through lockdowns – finding time to stop, observe, stay in the moment, even for a few minutes. Navigating within our minds and discovering new ways to cope.”

- Beulah, Management Consultant, Yoga Teacher

Michele’s meditation retreats and trainings are both calming and enlightening. Her photography meditation retreat component gave me a new perspective on nature and life; I now stop and reflect on the beauty between the spaces. Michele draws on her depth of knowledge and experience which allows her to connect and teach with sophisticated simplicity. 

- Alyssa, High School Principal

Michele brings a deeply grounded presence to her courses which is balanced by the curiousity she has for the experience of others and her sense of humour.I found Michele's teaching program allowed me to develop a practice I could make real, for me and my circumstances.

- Brenton, Registered Nurse, Health Care

It is refreshing to do a course that empowers you to try different techniques but that really emphasises finding what works for you. I enjoyed your course because you allow space for and acknowledge people’s differences. And also, you acknowledge that different needs exist within all of us at different times. You present meditation as a flexible, creative modality that can used wisely to suit our own circumstance and needs. I basically loved every week. I especially appreciated the practice around fear and also your lesson around the Tao of Pooh. There was a lovely balance between practices that can be confronting and a little more uncomfortable and those that I find restorative and immediately nurturing. Thank you Michele.

I am very fortunate to have completed this meditation course. Michele de-mystified meditation for me and I have now established a regular, daily meditation practice which I look forward to. The weekly teachings and practices in the Meditation Practice E-Course were of just the right amount and pace to keep me nourished and focused. The course showed me various options of how to make meditation an accessible, structured practice and I now tap into it as a centering refuge to have my quiet time. In Michele I found a quality spirit that has clearly fine-tuned her teaching skills through what she lives and breathes. Her precision and gentleness is invaluable.

“Completing Micheles Meditation and Mental Health course was the best decision I’ve made! The training was structured in a way that was engaging, informative and well-paced. Through Michele’s extensive experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, she was expertly able to use relevant stories or imagery to assist in linking theory to practice. Her nurturing nature encouraged open discussion and debate amongst all participants while maintaining a safe space to explore all topics. This fact benefitted me immensely not only in developing my skills as a yoga teacher but also in managing the ups and downs in my personal life.”
