“The course was impactful because of all of the meditations and exercises that helped me interact more with my emotions and consider my relationships with others on a deeper level.”
“I didn’t really think a lot would come from Mindful Self-Compassion, but it was surprising and really amazing despite my skepticism. Denette was faced with a group of people who were already friends, which had to be a challenge for her, but she did a wonderful job. All of us plan to attend the once a month Sunday session because of her…”
“I’ve been feeling very grateful for everything I’ve been learning. I really like the compassionate friend exercise as well as the soften-soothe-allow. I can feel my spirit being very grateful to myself for giving self-compassion, especially in those moments that I most need it. I am seeing change in the way I treat myself… “

About Denette
Denette is a Certified MSC Teacher by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, co-developed by Kristin Neff, Ph.D. and Christopher Germer, Ph.D. These two professors have conducted most of the evidence-based research on how self-compassion has positively impacted adults and adolescents.

- Participate in an eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) course
- Experience teaching meditation in groups or clinical settings

In summary, Denette has invested three years of training to complete the requirements and become a Certified MSC Teacher by the Center for Mindful-Self Compassion.
