Increasing the collective compassion around us begins with us. Amy, a gifted teacher, expertly guides her students through the steps for developing self-compassion, the foundation for compassion for others. I appreciate how the practical techniques and weekly meditations help us cultivate intentional compassion. Give yourself the gift of compassion by taking this course. If this course were not offered online, I would not have been able to attend. The online format was effective and creates unparalleled availability.” — Connie Baker, MS, CHTP, Co-creator of the Wong-Baker FACES ® Pain Rating Scale
Amy is truly enthusiastic about the material she teaches. She knows through experience that if you fully embrace the lessons and practice them, and listen to the meditations every day for 7 weeks, one day the seeds of compassion that you planted and watered every day will sprout. I am walking away from this course a better person, and I will continue my practice of compassion for the rest of my life. It is also a powerful antidote to assist living in these challenging times.” — Carol Siebert
This program transformed my insight into self-compassion. It’s a gift to authentically say ‘No, thank you’ and feel understood, not selfish, when needing healthy alone time. That’s the biggest gift I’ve received from this course. — P. Wenke
