Testimonials From Client Organizations
McMASTER UNIVERSITY
When I attended Kate's workshop training I learned about how being mindful might help me through life’s difficulties. Kate’s comprehensive understanding of the science and physiology behind meditation and of the various techniques and methods towards enlightenment helps you to build a foundation, but she knows enough to let you get there yourself. She has a way of enticing your interest but nothing is ever forced, it's your path to travel — William Harper, MD, FRCPC, Associate Professor of Medicine, Divisions of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, McMaster University.

OKD MARKETING
After attending the 8-week MBSR course with Kate, I left with more knowledge and understanding about how mindfulness could be used on a daily basis to help improve my relationships at work and at home. Having the ability to ‘respond’ instead of ‘react’ in a situation is an instrumental tool that allows for clear thinking and more positive resolutions. This was my first exposure to mindfulness, and while I was a little bit skeptical going in, I’m now continuing to use what I’ve learned on a daily basis — Brent Clifford, Partner, OKD Marketing.
