Feedback from previous participants:

«I work as a coordinator in a psychiatric ward and I signed up to the program to see if it could help me have  more resilience in an often very hectic schedule. For me, the course has been very concrete and practical. The techniques are easy to learn and use. They have helped me to find rest in a stressful life and managing meetings with difficult situations and people. I have discovered that I can get to sleep faster, I have become kinder to myself, and that I have  better interactions with people I earlier had a difficult relationship with. «
Ann Levin, coordinator of a psychiatric ward in Oslo Kommune 

 

«I had good results from the course with Tord. It helped me become more focused and to integrate meditation into everyday life. The course covers a wide range of meditation techniques so you can choose the ones that are most useful. Tord helps you by adapting the coaching to your own problems. He is a good listener and responds thoroughly and thoughtfully to every question. «
Thomas Malmer Berge, lawyer in the Justice Department

 

«The course provides a practical introduction to specific, easy to use meditation techniques. The program is professional and thoughtfully created, and the course has helped me to become more focused and relaxed. Tord provides comprehensive feedback and is eager to adapt to the participants’ needs. «
Mari Seilskjær, advisor at the Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers (NOAS)

 

«I perceive Tord as a skilled and dedicated teacher of Mindfulness. He presents the various meditation techniques in a straightforward way, giving you feedback and prompting you to penetrate further into the core of what mindfulness is. The rest is up to you! I can recommend Tord as a teacher for those who want to start exploring the rich possibilities Mindfulness has to offer. «
Per Morten Kjøl, hospital nurse 

 

«Tord was very professional, knowledgeable and present teacher, and had good rapport with the students. He had a thoughtful and well-designed workshop, based on research and practice. He was sociable, inclusive and easy to work with. I give Tord my best recommendations.»
Gunn Engelsrud, professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences

 

«Tord completed both the course for the employees and the regular training of pupils in a very inspiring and at the same time unobtrusive way. Where students initially showed resistance, they were eventually susceptible to immerse themselves in the exercises. Several of the staff also expressed that the exercises increased the quality of the work meetings we had in relation to the courses. We give our warmest recommendations of Tord communication skills and insightful mindfulness training.»
Sunniva Sandanger, general manager at Nyskolen in Oslo
