Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a structured complementary medicine program that uses mindfulness as an approach that focuses on alleviating pain and on improving physical and emotional well-being for individuals suffering from a variety of diseases and disorders. The program was established in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Mindfulness is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay wise attention to whatever is happening in the present moment.

MBSR is a 8 week course that helps you manage stress, tiredness, anxiety and depression.

Extensive scientific research shows the effectiveness of MBSR in supporting a variety of conditions and concerns:

• Stress – including work, school, family, financial, illness, ageing, grief,
• Medical conditions – including chronic illness or pain, high blood pressure,
• Psychological distress – including anxiety, panic, depression, fatigue and sleep disturbances.
• Preventing and Wellness – including health enhancement and wellness focused on prevention and learning the ’how’ of taking good care of yourself and feeling a greater sense of balance.
