Check Out What Other Participants Are Saying About Us

I was apprehensive about signing up for the program because I didn’t know if it would be the right path for me, but I couldn’t have taken a better step! The course(s) is well laid out, informative and interesting. The support and preparation I received empowered me to create my own direction. Whether you intend to continue as a practitioner or just want to learn the material for yourself, it is a top educational gift to yourself.

Emmeline

I have learned so very much about meditation, chair yoga, holistic counselling and running a successful small business from both an intellectual and practical perspective, and have acquired a large number of complementary and valuable skills, techniques and tools that I will be able to use for the benefit of myself and others for the rest of my life.

Andrea

Thank you for the perfect gift that is the integrity and vast learning of your life, straight from your heart, rolled into your wildly successful Meditation Teacher training course. All the tools I need to understand my life and direct my future healing, I now have (and know how to recognize if I ever need more). Not only have you shared with us the essential tools for successfully teaching Meditation, and given us the knowledge and tools to be relevant and present with fellow humans going on a development voyage ‘within’ of their own, but you have also given us all confidence to pursue the real parts of who we are in our unique ways. I am forever humbled and grateful to you for being who you are and sharing it so meaningfully, yet professionally, with us.

Karen

This course has so many benefits, not only does it prepare you well to become a teacher in Meditation it is a life-changing experience of self-discovery. This course was a light in my life, many months on and I’m using the skills I was taught to bring balance to my life and to others. I received great support from my teacher and all staff, thanks.

Debrah

This has been a wonderful course which I use often to enhance counselling clients preferring to treat people holistically. I have learned more than I expected and it far exceeded my expectations. I recently opened my own counselling business and am excited about adding holistic ideals and Meditation to my practice.

Shelly

I have studied Counselling through a government accredited provider and as much as I thoroughly enjoyed the content, I felt that it lacked what your course offered. Tools, homework, business set-up ideas, marketing, research, fee structure, connection and ongoing support. I must commend you on not only providing practical information that is going to help one embark as a successful Teacher, but you also gave the other tools to help people embark on this journey feeling confident that they not only have the skills to work in this area, but they have the ethics and understanding of good customer service and professionalism as well.

Ranae

The journey (through this course) has been a pleasant one as the information is there to revise in a simple and effective manner. If I was to measure my growth both professionally and personally during the last 12 weeks it has been an uphill curve and I feel that my development will serve not only myself, my family and friends but part of the community that surrounds me.

Marla

Firstly, my congratulations go to the clever and well-thought-out compilation of the entire course. It is extremely well planned and presented and has been a pleasure to have as a solid foundation. For each of the 11 lessons (in the meditation teacher training course) thus far, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through the notes I have found the course has brought together and cemented many things that I’ve heard before and confirmed so much about what was, until now, a glimpse of things to come. I have also learned so many new things, but most importantly have gained new tools to help me both in the short term and the long term, and I firmly believe these tools will continue to help shape who I am for the rest of my life.

Ruth

What I have gained from this course: I got my life back! When I started on this course, I wasn’t quite sure where it was going to take me. I wasn’t even sure that I had the motivation to complete it. My life was an absolute train wreck! It took me so long to complete it and I had huge breaks in-between lessons, I thought it was just a motivation thing. I realized that I took so long because I was living the course and some hurdles in my life just took longer to get over and some I had to redo a few times before it cleared the path to the next lesson. I am a believer in what this course can do and how it can change your life.
