  • I highly recommend this course for anybody interested in mindfulness because it's all about the teacher and Kati Simpson  is such an example of mindfulness she is  kind, loving, peaceful, compassionate and good humoured and all the other qualities mindfulness develops. I really enjoyed the whole group experience of practicing with an inspirational group of people who were so understanding and kind towards me and I hope I was to them! I've been practicing Mindfulness a good couple of years now, read books on it, been to another mindfulness courses and I can honestly say that this course explain how to do it so clearly and simply, the information and experience I received was invaluable and well worth the money. The last thing I will say on this is that mindfulness helped me deal with depression and anxiety,it just takes practice but they can be overcome. So again thank you Kati and I will always have my gemstone to remind me of your radiance.

  • Kati is a wonderful teacher, she embodies love, patience and kindness. She shows herself to the group and has a keen interest in each participant. One of the best mindfulness teachers I have come across in all my years of practice.

  • Five stars aren't enough to describe this course. It was a wonderful experience. Kati is such a committed teacher. I went to my first class not knowing what to expect. By the end of the eight weeks I had become a true mindfulness follower. Certainly it will be part of my daily routine from now on. It brings peace and tranquility to a busy lifestyle.

What a wonderful and fulfilling course. So sad that it had to finish but will try to keep up my daily practice and go to the Thursday meetups when I can. Kati thank you for your grace and guidance and a thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable course. Forever in your debt for introducing me to mindfulness.

Laurna Kavanagh, Ashbourne, Co. Meath

I came across this course by pure accident one night while scanning through the internet. Boy was someone looking out for me. This course is a must, one of those moments in life when lightbulbs go off in your head. I feel blessed to have met Kati, the group and also to have learned so much about how the mind works. It all just makes sense. I would encourage anyone to treat yourself, your children or family and friends to take the time to spend with yourself. Fantastic course loved every moment.
Suzanne Jordan, Dunsaney, Co.Meath.

I found the Mindfulness course a very enriching experience. I learnt to avoid the drama
created by my mind by focus in on the present. When you realise you can learn to do this it is very empowering and adds balance to your life. I became more aware that our lives are made up of 'moments' but you must be present to experience them. Mindfulness is an invaluable life skill that changes your perspective on what is really important. You can learn to filter negative thoughts and nourish positive ones. I learnt that kindness starts within yourself to yourself and then you have the capacity to see kindness in situations that you didn't recognise before which in turn changes the dynamic.
Kati is the essence of what she is teaching.
