“MBSR is a powerful tool in helping relieve the stress that most of us are immersed in day-in, day-out. Paula Wieckert is masterful at bringing mindfulness to life so that participants in her class can create more calm and clarity in their lives, and with that, improved health. Mindfulness is a critical tool for anyone who wants to have a greater sense of wellbeing. Paula is a great partner in that journey.” – Tammy Gifft, licensed psychologist

“Loved Paula’s calm and supportive demeanor. She is methodical, allows time for absorption and provides ample experiential opportunities. The slower pace and use of class time for guided practice and experience was really appreciated. The overall concept of mindfulness regarding all aspects of daily life- how I feel, my breathing, environment, pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and interactions with others- the heightened awareness is invaluable. I wholeheartedly endorse Paula and the program.” Susan Frey, Clinical Nursing Director, Methodist Hospital

“Even though the MBSR class has ended, I continue with the Mindfulness practices. I was on “automatic pilot” a lot. I have learned to trust, be patient and to live in the moment. It is a wave like practice to reduce stress, how you view something (perception) and how you respond to it. I listen in the moment and I Breath, Breath and Breath. I miss the weekly class, but have the tools I have learned to continue to practice my meditation.
Bless you in the gift that you have to help others with the MBSR program.” – Judith

“As a result of taking MBSR I have gained an understanding that calm, peace, everything and nothing are all very much available to me. Paula is a great and wonderful leader. Your presence and warmth is the primary reason, I believe, that we all thoroughly enjoyed this experience.” – Tony Swanson

“Taking MBSR reminded and renewed my own appreciation for my own practice.” – Sandra

“Paula is an excellent instructor- she’s always organized and a very clear communicator. The 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program is content-rich yet not overwhelming. My toolbox is now filled with mindfulness tools that I will utilize for years to come.” – Kat

“I have learned skills and tools to use in times of stress-breathing, body scan, gently guiding my thoughts in meditation, yoga-so many invaluable things. Meeting you and taking the class were definitely highlights in my year. It was life changing for me and will continue to be.” – Cheryl Sullivan
