“Patrizia has and continues to guide me through my learning in a manner that embodies mindfulness.
The journey, as with life, is not always easy, yet Patrizia is alongside you each step, supportive, gentle and nourishing; lighthearted and wise.
She sails her ship with purpose and creativity, and her crew, Helen and Monty each enriching the journey with their unique and excellent qualities.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
My training with Enter Mindfulness in 2013 has stayed with me all this time and probably saved my life as I became equipped with the most necessary life tools.
The training was indeed intense but I recall so many fine details. I remember how Patrizia would eat her lunch as if it were the first time you had ever eaten. I was so inspired by how she taught and noticed us. I was so happy lying down as I felt I could have a sleep, but oh no, she wasn't having that as we all know Mindfulness is all about noticing, observing, wakefulness, falling awake and I was so desperate to sleep.
How pleased I never did, I may have missed the beautiful poem, The Guest House by Rumi.
Patrizia’s kind nurturing personality gave me the confidence to continue my Mindfulness journey these past 8 years and I have taught lots of people many aspects of mindfulness-based on the famous 8-week course together with my own personal touch of humanity.
