"I'm already noticing big changes in myself. Several members of my family and friends have noticed as well, and commented on how much happier I seem. It's amazing, and I feel so much more 'alive'. I'm so glad I came on your course - it's one of the best things I've ever done."

Happiness is a skill. This is what the ancient practice of mindfulness teaches, and what modern psychology research has shown. The wonderful thing is that this skill, just like driving or dancing, can be learned, and it can stay with you for a lifetime.

"A practical and powerful toolkit to help me enjoy life more. [The course] helped so much - I will never be able to say how much."

Data from Pizutti et al. (2019); a study of Brazilian health professionals, comparing the Breathworks Mindfulness for Stress (MfS) course to a waiting list and a relaxation techniques course. The MfS course was much more effective than both control groups in reducing both depressive and other mental health symptoms.
