“Although I had been familiar with mindfulness and meditation for several years, Roberta brought a fresh perspective. I felt like I had a personal coach. She normalized my concerns and brought encouragement and motivation. It was a very thorough program with many handouts, and explanation of biology of the nervous system, as well. Roberta was a pleasure and made this experience most enjoyable. I would highly recommend her.”

“Each year, we have a Fall Methods Conference designed for faculty and centered around enriching, stimulating topics that will set the tone for the coming year. Roberta was invited to be the keynote speaker; her style was both professional and educational. She was well-spoken and guided the faculty through a presentation that included research, theory, and practice. Post-conference feedback from our faculty gave Roberta’s presentation two thumbs up. We can’t wait to have her back to share more on meditation and mindfulness.”
