Testimonials for Dr Larissa Bartlett

Early this year I convened an academic conference. The past few years have been very stressful for workers in this sector, so we contracted Larissa to conduct a seminar on mindfulness and wellbeing in the workplace. Her evidenced-based workshop included a mindfulness practice and was pitched perfectly for our delegates. Not only did they learn why this practice can help them in their workplace and lives, they also left with practical knowledge on how to practice mindfulness. Larissa’s workshop was inclusive, fostered a sense of respect and collegiality, and ultimately helped contribute to our conference having the highest delegate feedback scores for the organisation. Thank you Larissa for your exceptionally well prepared and executed workshop!

The MBSR training was comprehensive and offered many different and complementary ways to facilitate engagement in mindfulness and meditation practices. I thoroughly enjoyed Larissa’s kind and compassionate style over the 8-weeks of learning … and I look forward to continuing embedding mindfulness into my daily life.
