Mindfulness Based Programs
Mindfulness Based Programs such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Training (MBCT), Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), & Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) are evidence based programs suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners teaching meditation, mindful movement, and related skills to help regulate mood, reduce stress and insomnia, interrupt harmful habits, and increase compassion, concentration, and resilience.
