Testimonials

"It has really helped me deal with work stress and I can't recommend the course enough. Self-care is vital to making us good doctors."

"I'm already noticing big changes in myself. Family and friends have 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."

"I have found completing the course... profound and transformative. I feel better able to handle the day-to-day stress that can arise in my work, my relationships with myself and colleagues have improved, and most importantly I believe that my professional practice has benefited."

"I have gained an enormous amount from the course and cannot thank you enough for the enlightenment I have felt from it. I feel that I am taking care of myself much better and noticing much more than I used to in the world around me."

"I feel that I am less at risk of burnout or 'compassion fatigue', and am better able to act compassionately with my patients."
