"Compassion is the essence of Mindfulness and the bedrock of emotional strength".

Mindful Self-Compassion for Professionals is an outstanding didactic and experiential program presenting powerful practices from the empirically validated Mindful Self-Compassion program (designed by Kristin Neff and Chris Germer) that you can use in your own life and also teach your clients.

An ever-growing body of research is showing that mindfulness and self-compassion benefit mental and physical health by reducing stress burnout, depression, anxiety and trauma while promoting wellbeing, resilience and better relationships.

In this program you will learn simple tools that can be used in daily life, to mindfully attend to struggles and to respond with understanding and kindness to encourage and to empower.
