The practice of mindfulness has been scientifically proven to develop EQ.
Having a high EQ helps us to understand, use and manage our emotions and the emotions of others more effectively.
It also improves attention, mental resilience and provides peace of mind.

Are you finding it difficult to switch off and get a good night's sleep?
Do you often feel overwhelmed and stressed out?
Do you need some help managing relationships either at home or at work?
Do you need to improve your performance and productivity in the workplace?
In a society that's often dominated by devices and a demanding pace of life, developing an ability to switch and 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 professionals:

“At the start of this year, all staff members at Stella Maris Catholic Primary were fortunate to participate in a five- week Mindfulness course led by Brenda Neville from EQ Matters NZ.
I personally found the mindfulness sessions to be a great way to start the year, they provided time for self-reflection, to focus on our personal well-being and to develop strategies through mindfulness practices for dealing with stressful situations. Brenda’s passion for mindfulness was evident and motivating. I highly recommend participation in Mindfulness sessions led by Brenda.”
