Kirsten - Director
"I found Kristina Cavit and learnt how to stop, relax and concentrate on the important things in life via Mindfulness and meditation. After completing a four-week course, I have balanced out my work with more yoga, more relaxation and more quality time. And I’ve ceased having sleep troubles.” ."
Hannah - Designer
"I just wanted to say how grateful I am that I got to do your course. I’ve noticed such a difference in how I deal with day-to-day stresses and situations or people I have no control over. The benefits are massive. So thank you! It’s been a little bit life-changing."
Dominic - Writer
"This work has helped me not only relax and gain peace of mind, but the yoga and mindfulness has brought me so much relief from pain related to my chronic illness. It's not hyperbole to say that the time spent with Kristina has changed the way I live my life for the better. "
