Mindfulness Aotearoa — Local services in Albert-Eden

I recently completed a mindfulness course with Mindfulness Aotearoa. Our facilitator, Jan has the ability to be calming while keeping everyone fully engaged.

Each day, I draw on practices I’ve learnt in this course to navigate my life in a calmer and more present way....
