I love doing mindfulness because I worry a lot, and I get to calm down when I am doing mindfulness.

Whether it's a good day or bad it has helped me in so many ways after meditating I just feel good afterward.

The mindfulness program at Middlesex gave me so much. Four years out and in college, I still use the practices I learned at Middlesex to continue to work on myself. Mindfulness allows me to practice skills such as compassion, focus, and gratitude just as I would practice a sport or an instrument. As a result, I am a better student, a better friend, and a better leader.

Because of Nina's guidance I went from never practicing mindfulness to exercising it nearly everyday life in multiple aspects of my life - she is literally the Greatest Of All Time (goat)!

She has helped me feel better about myself because I have been self conscious about myself lately. And the mindfulness lessons help me notice that I don't have to compare myself to other people.

I use this every day in my life now and I am way better at feeling my feelings, instead of letting them take over and then feeling embarrassed and then a whole other spiral of feelings. I am a lot more stable and better at communicating now and noticing my own emotions before they surprise me and others around me.

The Intensive parent class truly helped me to find some peace and comfort during a particular stressful time with the start up of remote learning, parenting in mists of pandemic stress and also the stress of the election.
