During the training I learned to meditate and work on goals in a focused manner. It helped me feel good about myself. and to be able to feel what is going on in my body and mind. I really enjoyed the training!"

"Mindfulness with Elena was so fun, refreshing and I learned so many useful tools to bring into my own life. She sets it up in a way that gives you the freedom to implement what works for you. Judgement free and accepting. I would do it again in a heartbeat! Plus Elena is an amazing human!

"Mindfulness always seemed too “floaty” to me, so I doubted whether it would do anything for me. Due to the combination of the theory and science behind it, together with the meditations, it actually worked very well! I was able to get a lot more out of it than I initially thought and I also think it's a shame that it was a short course. Definitely worth it to open yourself up to this!"
