Reflections on Courses & Coaching

  • It really was the best, most immersive way I've found to experience building compassion and resilience. The implications for living a more balanced and connected life from this content are truly awe-inspiring. I'm so glad I took this course with Victoria and highly recommend it to all!

  • Victoria was an excellent teacher, able to create a safe environment for everyone to share their experiences, clear direction on how to carry out exercises and ideas from MBSR and later how to integrate these techniques into our every day life. I can already feel that her teachings have made a huge difference in my life. Thank you Victoria.
