MBSR - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Learn why Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) might be right for you. Are you at a tipping point, overwhelmed by the stress of our fast-paced lives? Are you experiencing a personal crisis affecting your physical, psychological, or emotional well-being? Are you just looking for a way to get your life back into balance?

The good news is that you already have the resources you need to come back to health and wellbeing, inside of you. MBSR training can help you reconnect to those inner resources.

MBSR, created by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD at the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness, is today the most scientifically researched and validated mindfulness program. So, even if you’ve never heard of mindfulness before, or just want to reconnect with your mindfulness practice, MBSR may be for you.
