What They're Saying
"I always looked forward to class with Andrea Hollingsworth. Her on-line videos were spot on. She gave concrete examples and great suggestions for how to put words into action. She is so knowledgeable about her content and helps make connections to our lives through stories. She provides a valuable outline of each session with extra resources. She facilitated our groups so that it was a place we could share and learn from each other. I would highly recommend utilizing her expertise in spirituality, compassion and mindfulness."

"I’m grateful to Dr. Hollingsworth for developing and making available the mindfulness self-study course, I found that her videos and supplemental materials demonstrated a command of the now extensive science around the neurobiologic basis of mindfulness and meditation, while her instruction in technique was equally impressive. Her “gravity body scan” was one of the best guided meditations I’ve encountered."

"This course was everything I was hoping for. The content was rich and dynamic. Andrea's capacity to create and maintain a sacred container for us to explore light and heavy topics was comforting, safe, and expanding. I saved all the content and videos and feel this is the type of course and content I could revisit on repeat to go deeper and deeper as I evolve into my practice. I had no less than a dozen ah-ha moments and felt seen and validated in all my yearnings for a closer connection to myself, others, and spiritual connection."
- Kristi
"Andrea has the great talent of combining her extensive knowledge of the subject matter with true life references and personal experiences. This creates a safe and welcoming arena for us, as her students, to ask poignant questions and share our deeply personal experiences. It’s this gift that, ultimately, adds relevance to the subject matter as it applies to our lives."
