Testimonials for Janet's Mindfulness Courses

”Janet has facilitated many yoga and mindfulness programmes for MYMY which everyone has enjoyed and gained something from each course. The 3-week pain and management course had very positive feedback as people benefitted a lot from this. Janet is a kind and friendly person and she makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed throughout each session. We are very grateful for the programmes Janet has facilitated for us!’

Laura Mackin, Community Development Officer.

”Janet is a very welcoming, experienced and knowledgeable facilitator.  She puts participants at ease, especially those who have not tried yoga or meditative practice before.  Her sessions have always provided a calm space for participants to prioritise some self-care and learn ways to calm their body and mind, helping them manage stress or anxiety.”

Social Worker.

South Eastern Trust.

“Many found Janet's guidance and teachings on the 6-Week Mindfulness course really helped them especially in the subsequent Covid-19 period.
Also Janet’s professional contribution as a Mindfulness & Meditation Instructor to our HCLA
Pain Management course was invaluable to our participants".
Patricia Martin
Co. Down Community Rural Network
“Janet is an excellent presenter who has provided Mindfulness sessions and 4 -week courses for carers and staff who work for the South Eastern Trust, both online and in face to face groups. These sessions have included advice and guidance on techniques to use to assist in maintaining good self care and participants are encouraged to introduce them into their lives. The written information that is given to each participant is a very beneficial reference following sessions and provides instructions on practices for carers to continue to use mindfulness in everyday life. Carers have noted: "Janet is a wonderful facilitator and has a lovely manner that puts everyone at their ease. I always come away from the workshops feeling calm and in control." "This course is wonderful, full of excellent advice and has definitely helped me to take control of my stress." "I have enjoyed and learned a lot from this course."
