I loved it, very enlightening! (no pun intended). I appreciated the scientific references to the benefits of mindfulness meditation. It was also eye-opening to realize how little time we spend in the present. The quotes throughout were thought-provoking and in general the presentation made me more aware of my negative default setting (living on autopilot vs awareness.)

Adriane’s mindfulness session was eye-opening and insightful. After just one session, this practice has come into motion in many aspects of my day-to-day life. She made it easy to connect this practice to moments where we too often take something for granted, miss out on connections, or react unwisely. Now, by practicing a number of the techniques she brought up, I’m already feeling more at peace driving in traffic (key word: more), and staying, more often than I was, in the present moment – which has made me feel happier and more connected to those I’m with. I’m still surprised that just one session has already encouraged such positive change in my life.

Adriane is an engaging presenter and does a great job at making an abstract topic very human and real. Her presentation gave me reason to believe that mindfulness is not only crucial, but accessible to us all. I’m inspired to action and undaunted!
– Nancy Kienzler, Keynote Attendee
Adriane has effortlessly perfected making mindfulness meditation accessible to everyone. Her engaging style connects with everybody and she credibly delivers her message with fascinating bite-sized data points and tangible examples that are easily relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and would invite anyone who is curious about the power of mindfulness and the profound impact it can have professionally and personally to give it a try… It’s a gift that keeps on giving, long after the session has ended.

Twenty minutes spent with Adriane can change my entire day, sometimes my whole week. As someone who has dealt with anxiety and OCD for over a decade, I often struggle with calming the stress in my own head. It is overwhelming at times. Adriane not only provides a safe space to talk about these things and an open ear to listen but she provides me with tools, little nuggets of wisdom and ideas that helps me reframe my stress. Perhaps most importantly, she has taught me the importance of gratitude and avoiding a cycle of reliving pain. I believe all people would benefit from her mindfulness practice, especially those in places where stress, discomfort or unhappiness are assumed to be “part of the package.” I am truly grateful for the time I have spent with Adriane.

Adriane’s introduction of the meditation practice has been life-changing. Thank you is not enough.
– Christopher Fields, meditation student
Adriane has shown me great warmth and compassion, a soothing voice and calm approach which allowed me to trust her completely and made me feel safe, all of which are essential in such a delicate and vulnerable state of need. She taught me how to breathe, how to calm myself down. She showed me how to approach things in a more objective way, how to look at things from a positive perspective by letting go of the bad and trusting the good and, most importantly, how to close my eyes and put a hand over my heart and just love myself. All these invaluable tools have given me the strength to move forward. I will be forever grateful.
