Mindfulness

Practicing mindfulness helps us meet life’s challenges with gentleness and clarity. We offer a 13 week program with the assistance of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) as well as drop-in maintenance classes for advanced participants.

Alumni of the Mindfulness Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM) courses have reported these results:

  • Greater acceptance of change
  • More productive
  • Found their place in life 
  • Less reactive 
  • More mindful
  • Less negative 
  • Finding time for themselves 
  • More self-acceptance 
  • Less judgmental

*Particularly difficult feelings may come up during these sessions, and participants need to seek counselling help through their family physician, other primary care providers or existing therapist if this should arise.

Mindfulness Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM)- Entry Level

This course will start again in September 2019 and is given by Annie Hebert, RN with MBCPMTM Level 1 certification from the NeuroNova Centre for Mindful Solutions.  We welcome all new participants as well as those who wish to re-take the course. We recommend wearing a comfortable outfit and bringing a light snack for the break. Many participants find it useful to bring a notebook as well.
