Testimonials

It was a wonderful way to end the session, giving something back to our hard-working team and encouraging them to take a moment to focus on themselves and their wellbeing.

Lots of our colleagues have since signed up for Kareen’s Mindfulness sessions so we are looking forward to more.” – Kierstan Lowe – Senior Communications & Engagement Manager

What I enjoyed about Kareens programme was knowing that there was more flexibility in practicing and how I can incorporate in day to day life.

What has mattered alot is the fact that even my family members have commented on how much calmer I am.

Thank you Kareen for this expereince.

Now, with the techniques and tools Kareen has equipped me with, I can live my life more consciously and purposefully, heel first. I have found renewed enjoyment in the everyday; walking my dog, baking with my daughter, quality time for myself

That gift to myself is priceless!

After learning lots of different techniques and working out how they applied to my life and personality, Kareen taught me that there were more ways to incorporate mindfulness into my regular routine. It doesn’t have to be something that you make a big fuss about setting time aside for that is separate from your real life.

After about two weeks, I found that I was already starting to use the skills I was learning and by the end of the course I could feel the difference in myself. Can’t wait to continue using these new skills moving forward!

We were taught practical mindfulness skills in a caring online safe space. It was great to do this journey with Kareen and the other ladies. Thank you so much 😊

Kareen’s mindfulness programme has opened my eyes to the idea that mindfulness isn’t something that is practiced for X number of minutes on any given day or week, it is something that is – or can be – practiced alongside most of our daily activities. Driving, walking, queuing in a supermarket, folding clothes, gardening, eating, practicing yoga… these are all opportunities to be present, to connect with our thoughts, our bodies, our breath. Opportunities to observe and question our natural reactions to a given situation, and to retrain our brain to see things from a new perspective and react more positively.

Kareen’s simple mindfulness techniques have allowed me to be more present in many parts of my life, to appreciate and enjoy the mundane and everyday tasks, and to be more conscious and connected in my yoga practice. On top of that, the meditations learned throughout the programme have become valuable tools to help bring focus on days I’m feeling like my mind’s all over the place, and to cultivate a feeling of deeper relaxation at the end of a busy day or week.

Kareen delivers this programme in a practical, accessible and non-judgemental way. She creates a safe space for members to ask questions or share their feelings and experiences with the group, without pressuring those who don’t feel comfortable sharing, to do so. This programme is great for anyone who’s always on the go and just wants to find a bit of calm among the chaos. Highly recommended!

What I didn’t know was how it would become a part of my every day and how much it will be with me and grow indefinitely.

It opened my eyes to something so simple, just focusing my mind to be more curious and not just assume the outcome of a situation.

The biggest impact to me was how it changed the mundane and every day situation and how I responded differently and became more curious.

I found some of the techniques resonated with me more than others and I guess that’s why the course covers lots of options to see what suits your own personality best. You’re quickly reminded not to put extra pressure on yourself to expect no more than being in the moment.

I especially enjoyed the meditation, mindful eating exercise along with the thought provoking poetry and quotes. I’m already noticing small changes on a daily basis and as with all things practice makes perfect and I now know what works for me to do so.

Looking at things again from a beginners mind helped me to stay curious. I really enjoyed the mindful movement and thinking about not striving to get somewhere all of the time.

Kareen created a safe and comfortable environment to support you to change habits . Slowing down (including trying to mindfully eat), I have noticed I am more at ease with my emotions. Mindfulness has definitely contributed towards maintaining my overall mental wellbeing,

I recommend that you give it a whirl, it was really enjoyable and everyone benefited in their own way. Kareen comes highly recommended!

The pandemic created acute isolation for me, so whilst able to explore nature and keep physically fit, I knew it was important for me to keep mentally fit too.

I found the meditations quite difficult. Even though I have quiet time and have practiced yoga in the past. However, Kareen constantly assured me that when it comes to Mindfulness, there’s no right or wrong.

I’ve noticed that since the Calmify course I’ve been thinking a lot more before judging a situation and I’m a lot less judgmental overall.

Having my Calmify glass as a constant reminder of my journey makes me smile!

I really enjoyed the course and kareen was a great communicator. I found she really listened to what we needed to overcome, with very good practical advice and giving us some great guidance and meditation help. I found I was really able to find that peace that I was craving but also really enjoyed Kareen’s vibe. She made me feel very comfortable and able to express myself.

Thank you kareen.
