Testimonials

I started the mindfulness course with the intention of learning so I could apply the principles to better help my patients. A few sessions in, I stopped resisting and gave up that notion! I invested in learning about myself and giving myself the care. It is hard to stop healing and caring for others, to rather put myself first before the roles of mother, wife, psychologist etc. It has been and continues to be such a gift in daily living and I feel it has bettered me in all the roles I play. My course was given one on one via Skype. Worked beautifully for me. Thank you, Juanita for teaching me to be with me." - Shelley Hall
The Programme offered me a guided space to practice mindfulness in a safe learning context moving from theory to practice. It also allowed me in my private practice to rediscover and integrate Christian contemplative meditation."  - Stanley Arumugam

Facilitator training and experience

Building on her lifelong yoga and meditation practice and following an insight she received from a dream, Juanita participated in an 8 week Mindfulness Based Living course with Mindfulness Africa facilitator Kerri Martinaglia at the Waterfall Retreat Centre in 2015. Moved by the significant impact it had on her life, her practice and her work she decided to train as a facilitator. She completed her Teacher Training Level 1 with the Mindfulness Centre for Research and Practice (Bangor University, Wales)  in the summer of 2015 and since facilitated several in-person and online MBSR and MBCT courses, Mindfulness Retreat Days and Mindfulness workshops with participants in South Africa, Sudan, India and Northern Ireland.
