Client Testimonials

"The Stress Reduction Program produces real bottom line benefits. For example, physiologically, I feel better with less aches, pains, headaches. Emotionally, I’m steadier, less worried, less nervous. Professionally, I believe myself more effective, with a more balanced concern between people and performance.Paul W. de Lima

The meditative foundations of the Stress Reduction Program are centuries old, but the present course application is very modern and highly relevant. Regardless of the source of your stress, this eight week course, taught by a highly experienced and thoroughly professional medical doctor, conveys understandable concepts and practical techniques that work.

The class sessions are interesting and well structured. The work required outside class is reasonable in scope and critical to success of the course. My commitment of time and effort to this course was a terrific personal investment in enhancing my everyday approach to life and work".

"The Stress Reduction Program remains one of the most rewarding, positive experiences I have ever had in my lifetime. If we could all do this, we would have a healthier world. I am much more prepared and able to cope with many things above and beyond the chronic pain I used to experience".

Jeffrey A. Watson, DDS


"The Stress Reduction Program provided THE major breakthrough for a pattern of work-related stress. The insights of silence are empowering, rebuild confidence and can clarify actions one can take. It helped to reframe my thinking, perspective, and ability to accept certain realities and respond rather than react to them. The program is presented beautifully and is respectful of one’s confidentiality and individuality. The leadership is caring, focused and non-judgmental".

Doris Seipel, Adult Nurse Practitioner


"I took the stress reduction program for two reasons. At a personal level I felt it was important to learn ways to keep my stress at a minimum. As a marriage and family therapist I thought it would be important for me to experience what I recommended to my clients. Both of the goals were met. I continue to recommend this program to clients, associates, and friends. It was a turning point in my life and I hope to help others to receive the same gift".
