TEACHER & STUDENT WORKSHOPS 
Workshops for teachers & students focused on the improvement of emotional wellbeing through the development of emotional intelligence. ​
​In a society that’s often dominated by devices and a demanding pace of life, developing an ability to switch off and to stop worrying has never been more important.
Life becomes significantly less stressful when people have learned how to pause and be mindful. Many people today are suffering from stress and anxiety and are unaware that the practice of mindfulness is an antidote to stress and anxiety.
​I am passionate about the difference mindfulness makes as I’ve experienced this first-hand in myself and also through my clients; students, parents and educators.

The practice of mindfulness has also been scientifically proven to develop EQ (emotional intelligence). While we are all born with a certain IQ, EQ is something we can develop and continue to master throughout our lives. Having a high EQ helps us to understand, use and manage our emotions and the emotions of others more effectively.

​This can have profound impacts on parenting, relationships, work/life balance, stress and anxiety levels, time management, academic achievement, managing distractions, having compassion and acceptance for ourselves and others. People with a higher EQ invariably enjoy greater self-acceptance and have developed strategies to navigate their way through personal and professional challenges.

If we want our future generations to have good people skills and to have the resilience needed to cope with life's challenges, we need to practice what we preach.
Be the change you want to see in others and learn how to become a better version of yourself!

​The way to do that is to practise mindfulness - not only will you become a kinder, calmer and happier person, you will also be developing your EQ through this practice.

Happy Clients
'EQ Matters NZ' is covering really important information that we probably all know deep down but have somehow forgotten in this fast pace world of ours.
The Mindfulness Course for Stress Reduction is a wonderful refresher on how we could be living our lives with more awareness, acceptance and with less reaction to unavoidable daily stress, giving practical strategies and tips to put into place immediately. Brenda is extremely knowledgeable on this subject and her vast teaching experience ensures that she is an excellent presenter who demonstrates a friendly, compassionate manner. I am thoroughly enjoying her course and learning heaps from it. Thanks Brenda.”
