She completed the 10 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Foundations course and two 5-6 day silent retreats. In addition she has completed the Joy of Living three level program and has been a practice leader for Tergar Toronto for 10 years.

Meditation has so many benefits. It has allowed Emzy to empower herself in moments when she needed strength to speak up and has allowed her to know when it is time to sit back and accept things as they are. Meditation has taught her to befriend challenging emotions and work with them in a way that cultivates a sense of self worth and growth from challenging times. Meditation has allowed Emzy to be honest with herself about the world she experiences and her physical sensations and thoughts. Meditation has allowed her to respond and not react in difficult situations. These are only some of the potential benefits of having meditation in your life! If this is a skill you would like your child to have please contact Emzy! She can't wait to hear from you :)
