Would I recommend the stress reduction class to others? Oh gosh! I’d say to not wait until you “have time” – that will never happen! And the more you believe you don’t have time….the more you need to take this class. Do it, jump in, and priorities and sense of time will follow, naturally. It’s a tremendous act of self-care with heaps of unexpected benefits – both shared with fellow classmates and highly individuals ones. Take the time and take the risk. It’s of immeasurable value!

M.S., educator, Traverse City, MIThe stress reduction class taught me how to increase levels of self care leading to decreased stress levels and overall improved quality of life. This class is about getting to know yourself better and being more “awake” during your waking hours.
M.M, educator, Traverse City, MIAs a result of the stress reduction workshop with Lori, I can finally enjoy my life without as much anxiety because I now have tools that I can tap into myself and control. I am now also authentic with myself, relationships and life.
L.L., Business Owner, Traverse City, MII took the stress reduction course with Lori last year. I came to the class primarily to reduce stress in my life and found so much more…..a way of living that is slower, takes in more of life so I am present for more joyful moments. I think everyone experiences this class in their own unique way. Lori does an excellent job of guiding and inviting participants to find their own awareness along this journey. Thank you Lori!
K.Z., Non-profits, Traverse City, MIIn Lori’s course on Mindfulness and stress reduction, I have learned to slow down, both physically and in my little monkey mind. I hope that I am a better listener and observer of situations before I act. My mind feels spacious, not crowded with thoughts. I learned that anxious moments and thoughts don’t define me. I am more than my thoughts!

M.A., physicians assistant, Traverse City, MIAfter the stress reduction class was over, I felt positive changes to the goal of not treating myself so harshly. It was an eye opening experience! I encourage anyone to take the class because it is a gift to yourself to learn how to respond rather than react in stressful situations.
T.L., educator, Traverrse City, MIDr. Lori Boothroyd coaches in a warm, dedicated manner that makes the process of positive behavior change a series of highly productive, enjoyable events. Lori taught me how to expand my mental capacity to visualize and implement positive outcomes in the areas of stress management, nutrition, inter-personal relationships and business growth. Thanks to Lori, I have learned to “live in the moment” and I am currently enjoying life to its fullest.
Jim Dagwell , Traverse Tax & Accounting, Traverse City, MichiganAs a result of taking the mindfulness stress reduction workshop, I feel better equipped to handle stressful communication.
