My first experience with GR Center for Mindfulness was Carol's 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress…read moreReduction class. Because I am a yoga instructor, I felt like I already had a reasonable grasp of meditation, but I participated fully and with an open mind to see what it was like. The deeper understanding of stress and how to relate to it differently has been life-changing. The simply but effective practices are something that I can rely on in the midst of even very stressful life situations, and the quality of my life and my relationships has improved significantly thanks to what I learned. I have also taken the Self-Compassion for Beginners workshop and the Building Mindful Connection course, and I can't wait to take another class!

With mixed emotions of enthusiasm and trepidation I signed up for my first Mindfulness Based…read moreMeditation Class offered through Grand Rapids Mindfulness Center earlier this year. I attended once a week, going to both April and Carol's evening class as my schedule changed often. Both April and carol were wonderful, patient teachers of the class, helping a meditation novice like myself, grow and develop in practice. The MBSR curriculum itself is challenging yet stimulating and I can say that I've changed for the better from the homework and lessons. I feel like I do live more in the present with less anxiety, increased creativity, calmer disposition, and greater awareness of my emotions and thoughts. I would recommend a MBSR class from either Carol or April to anyone. Grand Rapids Mindfulness Center also brings in various authors and speakers on the topic of mindfulness and meditation in addition to yoga and meditation sessions for those already practicing. They are based out of Expressions of Grace Yoga Studio on Northland Drive Grand Rapids but they offer the MBSR courses throughout the city. .

I can't recommend Kara highly enough!…read more Almost on a whim, I contacted Kara because a friend of a friend recommended her. I was curious about the services she offered and how they might enhance my generally-going-great life. I admit that some of the techniques and methodologies she described to me felt a little "out there," but I decided to set aside my skepticism to see where the journey led me. Did I understand when she explained frequencies or energy work? No, but she has the right combination of professionalism and warm personality to make me trust her. During the energy work, my eyes were covered as music played in the background. Although I don't know exactly or completely understand what Kara was doing, I know it affected me. Once I felt a weight on my chest. Another time my hands buzzed and ached. Sometimes my feet tingled. It's difficult to describe exactly what was happening, but afterwards I always felt both relaxed and refreshed. We spent a couple of sessions prepping me--emotionally and physically--for an immersive experience that was spiritual for me. Even more important, we spent several sessions after that integrating and examining the experience. I was surprised what I learned about myself during the entire process, and what I learned that I needed to do to continue to improve my "generally-going-great" life. Kara is insightful, thoughtful, patient, and kind. She guided this 69-year-old to try something new and enriching, and for that, I'm extremely grateful.

Massage and the other forms of body work that I provide decrease stress, increase energy, calm the nervous system, improve circulation, improve lymph flow, decrease pain and help your body to become more balanced overall so that you are better able to heal mentally, emotionally and physically. I believe equilibrium is what everyone should strive for and by getting regular treatments, equilibrium can be achieved. I like to think that the services I provide help to weave the body, mind and soul together so that my patients can feel whole in a time of change and uncertainty. My ultimate goal is to help my patients make peace with all their broken pieces. This being said, I have recently expanded my business! I have moved locations and I am in the process of creating a Wellness Center. I will still continue to provide my services as usual but I will also be renting rooms out to other holistic health therapists, and teachers so they can work on clients individually or hold small events, classes and support groups so that together we can collaborate and help more people in a variety of ways.
