On Our Workshops and MBSR Programs

  •  "A life altering program led with warmth and generosity of spirit..."

  • "Thank you again for a fantastic presentation. You clearly adapted the presentation to meet the needs of my training team...this made the presentation all the more relevant to our work. Your presentation style is warm, attentive and most certainly includes depth of knowledge and experience." 

  • "The 8 weeks surpassed my expectations and I can take a great deal from the experience."
  • "I was a professional career woman who had been stopped in my tracks with a chronic disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was prevented from doing my job and other daily routines and had tried many other remedies including multiple medications, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reiki, herbal concoctions, cognitive therapy and surgery all within an 8 year period to no avail. An 8 week course in MBSR lead by Dr. Catherine Phillips saved my life. I came out of my depression and cycle of horrendous pain by using Mindfulness and Meditation and got my life back thanks to the skills that I adopted and use through my life today."

  • "Dr Phillips is a deeply committed and experienced practitioner of Mindfulness and this is evident in her teaching. Having had the opportunity to participate directly in workshops presented on Mindfulness by Dr. Phillips I have found her to be inspirational and motivating. She presents with a vast repertoire and combination of both knowledge and experience. Dr. Phillips is able to generate interest, awareness and an appreciation of the benefits of Mindfulness Meditation in her audience. Her presentation style is highly engaging, and she is able to masterfully generate enthusiastic interest and participation in groups of over 100 participants. Her knowledge, experience and presentation style appeal to a vast array of audiences ranging from the general public to specific applications to health care and psychotherapeutic applications. I highly recommend Dr. Phillips as an experienced practitioner of mindfulness meditation and as a world class teacher and speaker in this field."

  • Dr. Phillips’ overall skill in workshop presentation is great. Her use of power point coupled with beautiful peaceful background slides and music provide a stage for feelings of calmness, preparation for being mindful. Dr. Phillips presents with a soothing, well modulated voice that is able to project loud enough for the audience to hear. Within her presentation, Dr. Phillips successfully engages the participants in discussion with her reflective, thought provoking questions about the concept of being mindful. I found the workshop to be well paced and I thoroughly enjoyed the engagement of being mindful, practising the skill to reinforce the information."
