"I took Erin's MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) Program in July 2016. I enjoyed every class I attended over the eight weeks and learned a lot about mindfulness practice, including how to observe my inner thoughts and emotions. I was already practicing some meditation before, but taking Erin's MBSR program really opened my eyes to the reality of my inner experience and the root causes of my stress. Erin is a very calm and inspiring mindfulness teacher; she constantly encouraged me to approach each experience with curiosity and patience, which was was really helpful for me in learning not to judge or criticize myself so much. After completing the program, I am a lot more aware of myself, and also more grounded in the present moment. Erin is truly an authentic, proficient mindfulness teacher we can learn mindfulness from." - Joanathan Lim

“Erin was the teacher of the 8-Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program that I took. I found her to be very skilled in teaching the mindfulness training program, pacing each class well and facilitating our practice of self-awareness and self-discovery effectively. It is important that the teacher creates a safe, non-judgmental space for learning mindfulness, and Erin was able to offer that to her participants. She always invited us to be gentle and kind to ourselves as we engaged in the various practices. She embodies the patience, openness, and compassion that every mindfulness teacher should have. I enjoyed Erin's MBSR program very much and it was overall a very enriching experience for me. If you're considering mindfulness training for yourself, I encourage you to connect with Erin.” - Ameesh Randeri

Learning Mindfulness with Erin
|
To Erin, learning mindfulness is not about gaining intellectual knowledge, but giving ourselves permission to undergo a lifelong journey of understanding our body, our mind and our place in the world, through the direct experience of self-observation. The more we learn to observe everything in a calm and quiet state of mind, the more positive change we will notice about ourselves.
You can expect a mindfulness session with Erin to be highly experiential, engaging participants in authentic practice, personal reflections, and group discussions that offer valuable insights into the common grounds of humanity. Connect with Erin, because she would love to practice mindfulness with you. |
