“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for introducing me to mindfulness. I have found it to be valuable and indeed rewarding to be more aware and present. I am so much better at being focused on the things that are important, to be able to slow things down and consider the situation in front of me before acting. The mindfulness exercises certainly help de-clutter the head and help create clarity in what I do and how I behave.”  – Sanj Kant
