"I was skeptic about mindfulness and only half believed that it could help with my anxiety and panic.  I’m now a convert.  Katie has helped me to be calmer, quieter and more relaxed.  I would recommend her to anyone - to everyone."

"I was hopeful, when I started Katie’s eight week mindfulness course, that I would be able to tackle my anxiety, all the worrying about things that hadn’t even happened. The anxiety has gone but it’s not the only thing that has changed at all. I love the meditation practice, I love being mindful and I love suddenly finding it easy to be patient, thoughtful, tolerant and calm! I love being grateful and giving and accepting. I have learned far more than I thought I would, feel like I have made fundamental and long-lasting changes and I have the answer to so many more problems than the ones I listed on week one. I no longer feel angry, anxious or stressed, and emotional hijacking feels like a thing of the past. Unbelievably, this also truly feels like the easiest thing I’ve ever done!"

"When I first started on my 8 week mindfulness journey I did not expect to be in the place I am today. Every week I have built myself up and learnt so much. I am hoping to take away the practices I have learnt and use them in my everyday life to help me live in the present moment. Katie has been absolutely amazing, her support and understanding has helped me through the course. I would highly recommend this course to everyone."

"Following a difficult period I was experiencing in life, I enrolled on the 8 week mindfulness.
This course has given me a new set of tools to enable me, to be in the moment. I have learned how to use a daily meditation session. This has helped tremendously on how to deal with everyday stresses. I have also learnt to be kind to myself, and stop worrying about what other people think of me.
I would recommend this course for anybody  that is looking re-build their confidence, the course was deliveried in a very professional manner, in comfortable surroundings."

“Katie was an excellent listener and she really helped me to understand the value of mindfulness.. She also has a deep and thorough understanding of the general psychology of mindfulness and she was able to tailor this to my needs in a way that made this very memorable and real for me. I do feel this course changed my life for the better. Thank you Katie!”

"I needed to take stock of my life and a relative suggested doing a Mindfulness course with Katie. 
 I can honestly say that after completing the course it has made me see my life and how I approach my well being in a total different way. It is truly a positive and an uplifting experience.
 Non striving is how life is supposed to be !! "

"WOW.... that is the word I would use to describe the last eight weeks practicing Mindfulness. It has really opened my mind up to a world that I live in day in day out but now I have started to actually appreciate it. I suffered from depression, anxiety and had body image issues and through Mindfulness I have been able to beat all of these be more accepting of who I am and appreciate the life that I live.

I have become calmer, happier, more patient and have never slept so good. This should not been seen as quick fix, this is a lifestyle change and I will be forever grateful to Katie for introducing me to Mindfulness. Katie has been a great support and mentor and could not have asked for a better teacher during this eight week period.

I only have one regret...... that I didn't discover Mindfulness years ago but now I have there is no looking back or looking forward it's about the now and enjoying being in the moment."

"Learning mindfulness has helped me to put all kinds of negativity to one side, and given me coping mechanisms for letting difficult moments and memories just be. Sometimes there isn't a right answer, and that's ok - mindfulness helps me stop trying to solve the past in fixation or battle with the future in fear. I was struggling with all sorts of dependencies, and stuck in a loop of compulsive behaviour and self-sabotaging thought patterns. It's hard to believe how much has changed in eight weeks - personally and professionally - and I've found myself attracting the kinds of experiences I thought were no longer possible, or that I believed I didn't deserve. It's changing my relationships with others and, above all, with myself. An amazing, life-changing course.
Katie is a great teacher, and creates a space where much feeling more generosity and kindness - to yourself and others - becomes possible."

"When I started the 8 week mindfulness course I was in a complete mess, having had to quit my job in London due to stress and mental health, a few months later I broke up with a long term boyfriend and moved back home. Only being 25 at the time I was very shaken up by all of this and felt very lost & helpless which developed into anxiety and panic attacks.
​At the start of the course Katie helped me define my goals - to find myself, be happy again, overcome anxiety and to learn to deal with stress better. I didn't think that I would be able to achieve those goals in just two months, but I have thanks to Katie and the course. Katie is very approachable, down to earth, relatable and caring. Katie responded really well to the different emotions and feelings that arose each week and helped provide tailored advice and guidance. Thanks to Katie and this course I am now able to go back to my career after 6 months off, my attitude to stress has dramatically changed and my perspective is so much more positive. I have learnt skills and techniques that I will use and can rely on for my whole life. It really has been life changing for me. Thank you Katie!"

"Mindfulness is a great tool to have in your emotional tool box and Katie delivers her course with compassion and professionalism.  To be recommended!"

"My physio recommended that I try mindfulness to address a long standing issue, and I would like to thank Katie for making what could have been a long and painful journey, so easy.
The mindfulness is great, but for me having someone guide me through it with kindness, calmness, wit and insight made it a pleasure, as well as a life changer.
I would recommend the course to anyone and everyone."

"I initially went to see Katie as I was struggling to deal with PTSD, amongst a few other things. I took a list of things I wanted to improve, and Katie knew what to do straight away`. We started with some work to resolve the PTSD which was very successful. I then signed up to Katie’s Mindfulness course – brilliant!
The eight week course is truly transformational, and I can’t think of anybody better to take you through it than Katie. She is so open, non-judging, yet knowledgeable, and really helps to put things in perspective. As well as being friendly, down to earth, and can have a good laugh with it too. Since taking on the course, I have seen so many benefits, which include (but are not limited to); no longer biting my nails; no longer binge eating on junk food; cooking fresh food every day; exercising regularly; gaining self-belief and getting a promotion at work; learning how to manage my emotions; shifting my behaviour to responsive and accepting from reactive. I have gained all of these benefits without thinking about it, or trying to achieve them. I have undergone a total change in mind set, and I am excited to live the rest of my life in this way. Thank you Katie."

"Can’t thank Katie enough for her help and support she has been a great listener and the mindfulness course has been a game changer to help me deal with anxiety and stress. Would definitely recommend."

​“I first visited Katie Brazier in the hope that she could help me quit smoking. Katie helped me to realise that although I had the desire to quit, I lacked the tools to do so on a permanent basis. Several months later, I remain smoke free and feel as if I have never been a smoker.
 
Stress had always been a huge factor in my work life, and I have now also completed an 8 week mindfulness course with Katie, and can honestly say that it has changed my outlook on life. I have learnt techniques that have become an automatic, every-day part of life. I am able to see things for what they are, rather than what they might become, and the feelings of positivity and relaxation that I find through regular meditation have had a tremendous, significant effect on how I view events on a daily basis
 
If you truly want to bring about positive changes in your life….Katie Brazier can make that happen for you. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough”  

"I found the eight week course thoroughly rewarding, and an inspiration as to greatly improving my quality of life. Katie is a good teacher and I would recommend the course to anyone suffering from depression, anxiety or stress.
Thanks again for showing me something that has already been of great benefit to me."

During a painfully hard time in my life I stumbled across Katie’s website. I was cautiously optimistic but that was because I was rooted in a very negative place. 
I vividly remember the first time meeting Katie and felt instantly calm and more motivated to see through the next 8 weeks. 
Once I started the programme I navigated through each week with an ever growing sense of calmness and inner peace - this was my ultimate goal - to taper my anxiety. 
If you feel plagued with anxiety, react first and think later or feel riddled with negative patterns of thinking then this course is for you. Having now finished the course not only can I see my own transformation; those closest to me have noticed a shift too. I feel happier, lighter and at peace. I can conquer emotive life events. I react less and accept my circumstances with gratitude. By “non-striving” and “non-doing” I can now embrace clarity during the motions of my day. I’m living for now. 
Thank you Katie 

"Thank you Katie so much for taking me through the mindfulness course, I have enjoyed every step through the course & the tools I have learnt along the way are invaluable. I will be using everything I have been taught to help me with a calmer & happier life. I only wish I had done this sooner."

"My 3 sessions with Katie allowed me to take a step back from what I was struggling with and to find a place where I could just let it all be.  I found the hypnotherapy parts insightful and helpful, and have come back to them time and again to seek clarity and reassurance. After each session, I felt relaxed and deeply connected with myself, more mindful of my thought processes, and clearer about my values and how to live more truly by them."

"Originally, I was recommend by my partner, to see Katie to help me to stop smoking. At first I was skeptical but very open to trying something knew. I always had in the back of my mind that I ought to stop. However hard i tried and however much i spoke about stopping or cutting down, i knew deep down that i wouldn’t unless, helped. I thought that i would give Katie a go and see whether she lived up to my expectations and image that i held…

I can honestly say, she is incredible. I haven’t touched a cigarette since and have found it so easy and now, it doesn’t even feel like I ever smoked at all. This took one session.

After previously going through some hard times in my life, i wanted to grow my knowledge of Mindfulness and the Mind itself. It  was recently after my step father passed away suddenly that i found my temper rising in a nano second to the point where i would be fine one second and flip the next. so much so, that one evening my temper escalated so fast, i found my foot had gone through my kitchen door in anger. i was worried that i was capable of such dangerous things. This wasn’t me and it certainly wasn’t the person that i wanted to become. I thought of Katie straight away.

I signed up for her Mindfulness 8 Week Course and loved it. 

Katie teaches you how to be you, to open the door and discover your individuality. I guarantee you that you will learn more about yourself in this short space of time than you have in your whole life. You will put yourself in situations that you have never even contemplated and you will walk away wanting to go back again and again only to discover more about yourself and the Mind.

I would recommend this to anyone as there are never ending vessels waiting to be discovered. I have learned, without really realising how amazing life is and that there is so much more that I want to develop within myself.

Katie is an inspiration and I promise you that a minute spent with this lady will change your life. Whatever your age, gender, past or current mindset — she will open the door and guide you towards the happiness that you deserve."

"Hi Katie, Happy new year to you!  I just thought you might like to know how I have been doing with my drinking and it’s fab news.  I can confidently tell you that I am properly in a place when I can take it or leave it.  I rarely drink in the week, and on the odd occasion if I really fancy a glass of wine, I have one without guilt.  This makes it much easier to carry on in what has become the norm for my week.
I feel so much more relaxed and happy with myself, this in turn has made me into a calmer person and parent.  I have much more time for my children it seems because I no longer have this all consuming inner conflict on whether or not to have a glass of wine.  I don’t think about it much now, but if I do I find it really easy just to shrug my shoulder and think “no, I’m fine with squash”.
Thank you so much for everything"

"I found out about Mindfulness meditation through a support group I attended in Birmingham. After looking it up a bit more, I decided to contact Katie who is based in Leamington, and work through the 8 week mindfulness course with her. Before we started Katie sent out all the information I needed via e-mail.
Not only is she kind, inspiring and non-judgemental, she really catered the course to my needs. My mobility is not good at all, so she held the sessions over Skype, and was very understanding. I loved hearing about how mindfulness had impacted the lives of her clients, and it inspired me to really throw myself into the course. Katie is easy to talk to, a fantastic listener, and I really looked forwards to each of my sessions with her. Over the course of the 8 weeks, I have learned a lot about myself as a person, as well as different coping mechanisms that will stay with me for life"

"I haven't lost my temper with my kids since we started this!"

"When I booked an 8 week Mindfulness course with Katie I intended to overcome a bereavement. However the programme guided by her wonderful calm and enlightened approach gave me a much wider insight into other anxieties I was shelving. 
I learnt to incorporate meditation into my daily life in a way I thought not possible. It has become a part of me and the skills Katie has taught me in coping with anxiety have been truly life changing for me. I feel more positive, energised and more able to analyse my own emotions. By doing this I am able to foresee and overcome stress in a positive way. 
I can highly recommend this course and Katie has a real gift and knowledge as a therapist."

"For anyone thinking of doing mindfulness, stop thinking about it and do it! This 8 week programme has truly been life changing for me. When I started seeing Katie I was plagued by almost daily migraines, teetering on depression and had lost all joy in life. Through Katie’s support and by following the programme I have now significantly reduced my migraines, laugh again and feel like I’ve been brought back to life. I cannot thank Katie enough for the help and support she has given me throughout this programme. I can truly say mindfulness is now a part of who I am."

“I wasn’t sure what to expect with the mindfulness course. Things were going ok for me but the stresses of every day life were taking their toll & I wasn’t sure why I was feeling so helpless.. Having a job in the entertainment industry meant my job was very striving & exhausting which I now know was the main cause of my anxiety & negative feelings. 
The mindfulness program was awakening for me & I realised just how little time I had to myself & most importantly to care for myself. I now have a completely different mindset & have the meditations if I ever feel anxious or stressed. Katie takes you step by step & goes through the journey with you, she really listens & understands you.
Mindfulness is now part of my every day routine. With life being such a rat race, mindfulness will be the best thing you will introduce in your life for it to remain & I couldn’t recommend Katie highly enough. Thank you”

"For many years, as long as I can remember, I've had a phobia of needles. That phobia developed in recent years, leading to fainting, days of anxiety beforehand, being sick and ultimately avoidance. My husband and I we're delighted to find we were expecting a baby but immediately my fear kicked in and I felt a failure when I couldn't go through with simple blood tests. I found Katie online and decided to meet her for a free 20 minute session to discuss how hypnotherapy could help. Almost immediately her calm and supportive attitude had a positive impact. I attended three sessions with Katie and after the second I was able to have blood tests without any problem, no fear,no anxiety,no fainting. I can't thank you enough Katie. The hypnotherapy combined with the breathing techniques you have taught me have transformed my life. It's a wonderful thing not to have that fear anymore and feel so positive about my pregnancy now."

"I just want to thank you so much for all of your amazing work, I haven't touched a cigarette since our first session and I don't even think about it now."

"What a totally life changing few weeks! I wanted to send you a heart-felt thank you for my current state. In my mid-forties, taking time out from work and with a very happy home life, I didn’t really feel I had the right to expect much more - I was content as I knew it then. But like most people I found stress or it found me and I was curious about the buzz of mindfulness. Having ‘self-helped’ for numerous years, finally, in mindfulness, I had come across something that had REAL potential.
 So great was my interest I sought out your course on line. The idea of following a proven programme, practising, meeting and sharing weekly I knew would be so much more beneficial than reading/doing in isolation.
 I write now so grateful to you, the course (and indeed myself) for facilitating such a genuine life change. I have a new outlook, attitude and ‘joie de vivre’ I have only previously temporarily felt. The 8 weeks with you (in such a calming relaxed setting) has cemented a mind-set which now allows me real ‘ease of being’ and I feel a more enriched and happier person as a result."

"It is hard to encapsulate the depth and breadth of my new found well-being in an email but suffice to say all around me are seeing, and benefitting from, the results. I will have no hesitation in recommending you, Positive Mind Space, and this course to anyone as I truly believe everyone could benefit.
Every good wish and ever grateful thanks."

"I booked in for an 8 week mindfulness course in order to deal with stress and anxiety. I found it enormously useful and now recommend the course with a kind of evangelical enthusiasm."

"Impeccable, second to none therapist. Highly recommend.

"For about 3-4 years I have suffered from quite severe anxiety at times, however recently it had started to creep in to day to day life more frequently. I tried numerous different treatments over the past few years, from seeing my GP to visiting a number of different therapists. However I found that even though at the time, each of these treatments tended to work, I found that the same feelings of anxiety would creep back in after a period of time. 
It was at this point my partner pointed me in the direction of Katie and a course in mindfulness and meditation. I was sceptical at first, with regards to doing meditation, as I couldn't really see how this would clear my anxiety. However, as I moved through the weeks of the course, I noticed myself changing and instead of constantly being stuck in the past and focusing on past experiences, which tended to trigger my anxiety, I learnt to ignore this and to stay in the here and now and fully embrace my surroundings, whilst adopting the mind frame of looking ahead rather than behind. It was probably after week 6 when I really had my eureka moment and noticed a significant change. Now I feel that I have my anxiety, for the majority of the time, under control and when it does creep back in, I have plenty of exercises and meditations in order to make sure it disappears just as quickly as it arrived. 
My recommendation to anyone thinking of doing the course, is to make sure you fully embrace the 8 week program and make sure you do the weekly meditations to the full and hopefully then you will experience the same change that I have. Katie has been a great support throughout the course, with both her expert knowledge and experiences she has been able to share with me. I can't thank Katie enough for what she has done for me and for my sense of well-being."

"I had been suffering with a certain Health Anxiety  for a couple of yrs which used to rear its ugly head around the start of Xmas time, it got so bad I would avoid any tv programme with this issue on and would wake up drenched in sweat through panic, google became my best friend (worst thing you can do!!). A friend suggested Hypnotherapy as it had worked amazingly for his severe panic attacks, I researched therapy in leamington spa and Kate really stood out to me and I had seen previously a great write up in local newspaper. On my first appointment Kate put me at ease instantly and made me feel maybe I wasn't losing my mind! The first session was an hr long, when I left I did better in my self but a few days later the anxiety came back, I rang Kate and she made me another appointment straight away as it was nearly Xmas and wanted this feeling gone! At the second appointment I was hypnotised which was so different than I thought it would be. I thought it would be like on the tv where you are asleep, it was just a really nice relaxed state. If I am honest I did think at the time I don't think this is working as I am awake but I went with it anyway. As I walked home I did think this hasn't worked and I am going to feel like this forever even though Kate did say you probably wont notice results until the lead up to next Xmas. Fast forward a year and as I putting up my Xmas tree (always the first trigger of the anxiety!) I felt different....NO anxiety....time went on and Xmas got nearer still nothing. I tested myself my watching programmes that I wouldn't of been able to before and still no anxiety! It has been over two yrs now since I saw Kate and the anxiety has gone! I would say to anyone who thinks they have tried everything to give this a go....it really does work I am living proof. If I ever needed help in other areas again Kate would be my first phone call.

"We have worked with Mindfulness, NLP and Hypnosis which has been really helpful in my life.  I went to see Kate for a specific reason and she tailored the sessions to deal with the issues.  She listens carefully to what you need and NOT ONCE did I ever feel judged by her in any way; this allowed me to be honest and able to open up.  She is gentle, kind, compassionate and has a plethora of knowledge to help a person overcome their problems."

"I booked 3 sessions with Katie, found them all to be very useful. I would highly recommend Katie."

"Since seeing Katie I haven't shouted at the kids once!"
"I am so much calmer and happier. I can even focus better at work"
"Everyone around me has noticed the changes"
"I haven't touched a cigarette since our first session!"
