“The various tools and materials shared during the course (Coaching Foundations) was very practical and useful to learn about the essentials of coaching techniques. The inquiry-based exercises helped me shift perspectives, which enabled me to see myself with more clarity as well as to build deeper and yet appropriate relationships.”
Joanna Cheung, Mindfulness coach in training
"NVC course at BMC was truly transformational for me. So simple, so powerful, so foundational, it cuts through the froth, distraction and habits of thought passed down through role modeling in families and cultures, and goes straight to the heart of the matter. I realized I have needs!!! And through the learning, I have been able to connect more fully with those dearest to me. It has helped me understand myself so much better, and has given me a whole new set of tools to use to understand and approach conflict in my most intimate relationships."
Abbie Tonkyn, Mindfulness coach in training
As CEO of a few hundred staff company, I always thought I was too busy for meditation. But it has really helped me not only to de-stress, but to do better work. Mindfulness is giving me a clearer mind which leads to sharper focus, faster, and better decision making. Mindfulness is to the mind as exercise for the body.
Andy Tian, CEO Asia Innovations Group
“Life changing! I joined Mindful Mothers because I wanted to be a better mother to my child. I thought it was the most important thing I could do for him. After a few sessions, I realized that it is the most important thing I can do for myself. I enjoy parenting more, but I also learn to enjoy life and its many challenges more.”
Charlene Ng, mother of a 4 year old
"I love that we have a mindfulness community here in Beijing, brought together by the BMC. The workshops and classes held at the BMC have helped me not only to grasp the basics of mindfulness and meditation, but also to learn how to open up and share my experiences, how to be more connected with myself and with those around, and how to have more compassion towards myself and towards others. I love the sense of community and security that the BMC has created. In the little cosy courtyard, we all come together to share, listen, learn, and grow, and we take that with us into our daily lives, our relationships and daily interactions."
Viorica Barbu, Teacher
Julia is very knowledgeable about NVC. Her experience and knowledge can be seen in her action and credibility as a trainer.
I am all for exercises, I believe by exercising we can integrate what we have learned theoretically.
