In Mindfulness & Compassion classes and workshops you can learn the contemplative techniques of Mindfulness, Compassion, Imagery and Breathing. You will learn how to practice and integrate these practices into your daily life. In general, people notice greater stress management, more emotional intelligence, increased self-awareness and self-management, more kindness towards oneself and others and greater well-being. Read more about mindfulness<\/a>.
Mindfulness workshops and courses are offered in person or online via Zoom and can be tailored according to the needs of your company, organization, team, school or association. They can also be combined with individual or group coaching. In addition to my own courses, I offer two certified courses: the MBSR<\/strong> (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) from the University of Massachusetts and the CBRT<\/strong> (Compassion Based Resilience Training) from the Nalanda Institute.

“I started Mindfulness classes with Victoria because I wanted to reduce my stress levels, and the truth is that it has been a great discovery! I like her a lot because she makes you feel very comfortable and safe not only because she takes care of all the details but because of her warmth and professionalism. In addition to feeling more relaxed, these classes have allowed me to work on my personal development and achieve greater inner peace, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to stop and start living in another way.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

“Victoria’s classes helped me understand what mindfulness is and above all how to apply it to daily life. Victoria creates a very pleasant atmosphere in her workshop, with very participative classes in which we set aside our daily problems. We learned not only to meditate, but to breathe consciously, to overcome stress, to be aware of daily routines. All thanks to her passion and experience in mindfulness. It was worth it.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I have a number of great tools now for taking care of any stress that comes my way. Our group conversations with Victoria helped me to understand that compassion for myself is something that was missing in my life. I’ve been much happier, better able to bounce back from situations and realize that I don’t need to own and agonize over other people’s reactions. Victoria set a wonderful tone of acceptance and calm. She was genuinely curious about our experiences and enthusiastic about the progress we made. Victoria is wonderful!”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

I\u2019ve read several books on mindfulness and thought I knew what meditating was about. I learned about Victoria\u2019s class and decided to take part in it. This course has helped me get a clearer understanding of what we need to tap into in order to be more self-aware; why it\u2019s beneficial; and how we can practice self-awareness. I feel Victoria\u2019s class helped me learn to really differentiate between what ideas or thoughts are worth paying attention to and which are not. This makes you more aware of your emotions and reactions. Victoria, thank you for being a bright, refreshing part of my week the last eight weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

“At the beginning of the CBRT course, I set an intention to help me face a change in my life. Through Victoria’s expertise and gentle nature, by the end of the class, I felt ready to face this change and take this new chapter on my journey . I found the practice of meditation to be both calming and energizing, and a powerful way to explore both my mind and my body working together as one.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

“Victoria is a great instructor. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and safe which is important when you are trying to learn to face and deal with complicated emotions. She is calm and kind but keeps the discussions focused. I feel much more capable of facing and dealing with uncomfortable emotions that in the past would have caused a lot of tension and a sense of panic. I now can use some of the techniques we learned in her class to feel a greater sense of control in everyday life. Thanks, Victoria!!”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

“Having this opportunity and a reason to spend time concentrating on my own being (here) on a regular basis, made me realise that taking time for myself is nothing to feel guilty about, but a privilege, since I am the one and only person that is always with me. Therefore, it is a great contribution to my own wellbeing to develop and practise an accepting and benevolent attitude towards myself, which then also has the secondary effect, that I am more aware of my way of dealing with others and the challenges that I am confronted with from the outside. …
\u2026 Constantly concentrating on others and trying to solve their problems is nothing but an expression of my own wish to be recognised. But it\u00b4s not other people\u00b4s task, but my own. If I am willing to accept myself, I no longer depend on others to do it for me.
Thank you, Victoria, for opening a time and a place for us where awareness can happen and start to develop… Thank you so much for everything!”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \n

What Students and Clients have to say<\/h3> \n
Mindfulness Class<\/h3>
\"I started Mindfulness classes with Victoria because I wanted to reduce my stress levels, and the truth is that it has been a great discovery! I like her a lot because she makes you feel very comfortable and safe not only because she takes care of all the details but because of her warmth and professionalism. In addition to feeling more relaxed, these classes have allowed me to work on my personal development and achieve greater inner peace, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to stop and start living in another way.\"<\/p> Antonio C\u00e1rdenas \n
Mindfulness Class<\/h3>
\"With Mindfulness I discovered a simple and practical way of managing my relationship to time, in order to live more in the present, and with my emotions, not being dominated by them and understanding what they are telling me. I recommend it to everyone.\"<\/p> Javier San Rom\u00e1n Realizador LiquidWorks<\/a> \n
Mindfulness Class<\/h3> \n\"Victoria's classes helped me understand what mindfulness is and above all how to apply it to daily life. Victoria creates a very pleasant atmosphere in her workshop, with very participative classes in which we set aside our daily problems. We learned not only to meditate, but to breathe consciously, to overcome stress, to be aware of daily routines. All thanks to her passion and experience in mindfulness. It was worth it.\"\n\u00a0\n Cristina Tellez \n
Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT)<\/h3>
\"I have a number of great tools now for taking care of any stress that comes my way. Our group conversations with Victoria helped me to understand that compassion for myself is something that was missing in my life. I've been much happier, better able to bounce back from situations and realize that I don't need to own and agonize over other people's reactions. Victoria set a wonderful tone of acceptance and calm. She was genuinely curious about our experiences and enthusiastic about the progress we made. Victoria is wonderful!\"<\/p> Kate Pagett \n
Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT)<\/h3>
I\u2019ve read several books on mindfulness and thought I knew what meditating was about. I learned about Victoria\u2019s class and decided to take part in it. This course has helped me get a clearer understanding of what we need to tap into in order to be more self-aware; why it\u2019s beneficial; and how we can practice self-awareness. I feel Victoria\u2019s class helped me learn to really differentiate between what ideas or thoughts are worth paying attention to and which are not. This makes you more aware of your emotions and reactions. Victoria, thank you for being a bright, refreshing part of my week the last eight weeks.<\/p> Laura Fontana, Watertown NY \n
Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT)<\/h3>
\"At the beginning of the CBRT course, I set an intention to help me face a change in my life. Through Victoria's expertise and gentle nature, by the end of the class, I felt ready to face this change and take this new chapter on my journey . I found the practice of meditation to be both calming and energizing, and a powerful way to explore both my mind and my body working together as one.\"<\/p> Anonymous \n
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)<\/h3>
\"Victoria is a great instructor. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and safe which is important when you are trying to learn to face and deal with complicated emotions. She is calm and kind but keeps the discussions focused. I feel much more capable of facing and dealing with uncomfortable emotions that in the past would have caused a lot of tension and a sense of panic. I now can use some of the techniques we learned in her class to feel a greater sense of control in everyday life. Thanks, Victoria!!\"<\/p> Anonymous \n
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction<\/h3>
\"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.\u00a0 She knew how to motivate us all, and I can already feel that her teachings have made a huge difference in my life.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you Victoria.\"<\/p> Brendan Anglin \n
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)<\/h3>
\"I made a step forward with this course, my mental health has improved. I am becoming more conscious about that after completing the course than while doing it. Definitely, I am going to deepen in mindfulness.\"\u00a0<\/p> Anonymous \n
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)<\/h3>
\"Having this opportunity and a reason to spend time concentrating on my own being (here) on a regular basis, made me realise that taking time for myself is nothing to feel guilty about, but a privilege, since I am the one and only person that is always with me. Therefore, it is a great contribution to my own wellbeing to develop and practise an accepting and benevolent attitude towards myself, which then also has the secondary effect, that I am more aware of my way of dealing with others and the challenges that I am confronted with from the outside. ...
\u2026 Constantly concentrating on others and trying to solve their problems is nothing but an expression of my own wish to be recognised. But it\u00b4s not other people\u00b4s task, but my own. If I am willing to accept myself, I no longer depend on others to do it for me.
Thank you, Victoria, for opening a time and a place for us where awareness can happen and start to develop... Thank you so much for everything!\"<\/p> Barbara\n\n
