Testimonials

★★★★★

"Paula is a fabulous teacher! Her courses are very well structured and dynamic with a good balance of theory, experiences and practices. She makes everyone feel at ease and confident, she is very gentle and kind, she clearly practices and masters the art of mindfulness. I thoroughly enjoyed both the courses I took (mindfulness meditation and relaxation – resilience and well being at work), learnt so much and met wonderful people. Both times, the group dynamic was lovely. I highly recommend Smart Foundations and am looking forward to keep on deepening my practice and knowledge with Paula’s workshops"

“Paula makes teaching fun, inventive and gets the student to look outside the box, by attending training with Paula I have learnt so much and have been able to write and produce a full years Mindful package with exercise experiences that my groups can follow, without Paula’s guidance I would never have achieved all of this. I would highly recommend Paula for all your training needs.”

Julie Court Mental Health worker

I found Paula very knowledgeable about her subject and easy to get along with. I use mindfulness on a regular basis, for myself and for my clients. Teaching “mindful eating” to clients who wish to lose weight is extremely beneficial, whilst “mindfulness and relaxation techniques” are superb tools to teach clients suffering with the effects of stress. I recommend Paula’s courses to anyone. Thank you Paula”
