What people are saying
Present Sense has a wonderful way of teaching the mindfulness process using engaging strategies and metaphors that made sense and were easily understood. It helped bring mindfulness to life for me. I have tried these techniques before, but this program has embedded concepts for me to return to, assisting my continued practice.
Anna · Teacher
After a number of weeks of the program, I noticed a greater sense of positivity in normal everyday tasks, including a new kind of calm that was a pleasant sense of being. I thoroughly recommend this program.
Tim · Coach
Steve patiently guided us through what mindfulness is and how we could use it in all facets of our life. I truly enjoyed the program and I have continued practising. It is not just me who sees it — my closest friends have noticed a change in the way I approach different situations. Surprising.
Carla · Research Scientist
After four weeks on the wellness program, I can see the benefits. I bounce back more quickly from frustration and feeling anxious. I love the feeling of meditation, especially after harder physical activity — it's just so relaxing. So, I'm keeping on.

The Evidence
The Science of Mindfulness
A short video explaining some of the science behind what we do — and why regular practice makes a measurable difference.
My wife and I are absolutely loving it. We really enjoy making the time to sit with each other and practise mindfulness. We both feel the immediate impact straight after each session, and we've noticed the quality of our sleep has improved on the nights we do a session.
Chris · Teacher
Present Sense was an excellent starting point for my meditation practice. I used to always think about meditating but kept procrastinating. The most valuable aspect of this program is that it serves as a good anchor point for me to continue. Everyone would agree on its importance.
Min · Strategy Consultant
If you want to make your mental health a priority and experience benefits such as improved focus, clarity and decision making, decreased stress levels and a better transition between work and home, then I highly recommend checking out Present Sense.
Nelson · Student
It taught me a lot about finding that place in my mind that's relaxed and brings me back to focus. I now always have this skill.
