Testimonials

“Learning mindfulness has enabled me to nurture myself more and be able to use this skill automatically. The course has been a truly amazing experience. A perfect balance of information and practice, delivered by two lovely, knowledgeable ladies. Plus they have lived experience, which makes it feel so much more authentic.”

“I was struggling with anxiety, depression and stress, and needing a tool to help. The course has really changed my outlook on life and helped me look at things very differently. It has been helpful having time out of the house for myself and the companionship of a lovely group. The fact that Kirsty has suffered with her mental health is what’s made a huge difference to anything I’ve tried before. She is very relatable to how we all feel.”

“Over the weeks, I have noticed a great deal of difference in how I choose to cope with stress. I am able to catch the feelings before they get too overwhelming. Or if I can’t, then I know I can take two minutes and do a quick exercise to help. I just want to say I am so happy and delighted with these sessions and the way Kirsty and Kay held themselves in the group. Their professionalism and kind, calm demeanour made it much easier to open up and take part when I was feeling hesitant or shy.”

“I attended the course to understand what the term mindfulness means, learn how to practice, and to lift the darkness that surrounds me. It has been helpful to try the different mindfulness exercises during the course with guidance from Kirsty and Cori. This has helped me to find the exercises that resonate with me. I have noticed a significant difference and I practice mindfulness most days. The breath work is helping me cope with my bereavement, depression and anxiety. When I practice mindfulness, I feel less edgy and anxious. Thanks so very much to Kirsty and Cori for my mindfulness journey.”

“I reached out to Yellow Beacon to see if they could support me in coping with the severe anxiety I was experiencing as a result of a prolonged bout of compassion fatigue. Having never undertaken any guided mindfulness practice before, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I can honestly say that the experience has been transformative and life-changing for me.

The sessions were completely tailored to my needs and created a very safe environment. Initially, I was skeptical about trying this type of practice due to common myths surrounding it, but all those doubts were quickly dispelled. By simply being willing to learn and keep an open mind, I found that this approach worked for me.

One of the most important lessons I learned from my practitioner, Kirsty, is that there is no right or wrong way to practice mindfulness. It’s okay to pause and return to it if you feel overwhelmed. This understanding has been profoundly beneficial in helping me manage stress.

I strongly urge anyone to give Yellow Beacon a try. Keeping a curious and open mind can make all the difference, just as it did for me.”

“I have been going through depression and anxiety with low moods. I needed something to help me, so I chose mindfulness. I found the self-compassion the most moving and emotional part of the course, as it was something I really struggle to offer myself, as I felt I wasn’t worth it. Mindfulness has really helped me come out of my worries and focus on the moment. I just wish the course could last forever, it’s been life changing!”

“I have made small, but significant changes to my daily routine so far, which I hope to keep building on. The course has made sure that I have set aside 2 hours a week to concentrate on me! I’m now hoping to continue this focus for myself. It has been helpful to learn new skills and have people who understand how I feel.”

“I chose to attend the course to help me with my overthinking and brain fog, and to help with my anxiety. This was an amazing course and journey to take. I feel more open and happier, and try and do a little mindfulness every week. I also remember where my mind is at before doing things.”

“I wanted to gain knowledge of mindfulness practice to integrate it into my ongoing life journey. Mindfulness has opened up a beautiful, calm existence for me.

“My close friend advised me to contact Yellow Beacon as I was struggling to sleep and was absolutely exhausted. I was looking to find tools that empowered me and a support that was natural and holistic to heal my over sensitive nervous system.

Kirsty is like-minded and understood what I was going through. I found her knowledge of the nervous system really interesting. I started on a series of eight mindfulness sessions over the Summer.

I found every practice enjoyable and very beneficial, and the recorded practices Kirsty sent me allowed me to access her soothing voice every day. I incorporated mindfulness into my daily life, and gradually I began to feel better.

I believe mindfulness meditation is essential for my wellbeing and enjoy continuing to develop my practice with Kirsty through the monthly practice sessions.”

“I joined the course to gain practical tools for mindfulness. I found it helpful to try a variety of different techniques to support mindfulness and becoming more present. I still do the mindful sip, and my walking and stick throwing is more pleasant. In a morning, I now have a fully focused cuddle with my pooch, rather than doom scrolling.”

“I struggle with manic thought patterns and finding ways to calm them is good. I found it helpful to learn how to use physical aids to calm me and I have longer in the week where I can calm my thoughts.”

“I wanted time for me, and to revisit mindfulness. It was helpful to have the faciliators share their lived experience and journeys, and to have the space, support and guidance to try out the various tools and practices. Mindfulness has given me permission to be, permission to do, permission to try, fail and try again. I have a better connection to humanity itself.”

“I have a keen interest in mindfulness for personal use and to share with others. I found it helpful to learn about the window of tolerance and trying different anchors to draw attention to. Mindfulness has helped me know that taking a moment during the day to reset is beneficial, especially during days with stressful workloads. Thank you both for your hard work and commitment.”
