• The expertise of the teacher, Kathy was evident in the preparation materials. The course manual - its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of mindfulness, accessible written style and format, and professional tone set the expectations and feel for the course and has been an invaluable tool throughout the course. The meditation full transcripts, skeleton transcripts, and the videos ensured all levels and styles of learners were catered for and well supported. The delicate balance of de-mystifying MBSR and mindfulness and maintenance of professionalism and integrity to the skills being taught was expertly managed.
