CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials
HSBC

Kristy was a fantastic faciliter and we loved the practical strategies shared.  So far I’ve had amazing feedback from the leadership team - a new and different type of learning in the offsite setting  and one that was appreciated. The tools were valued and can be shared with team members, which was a bonus.`

Mumta Grounder, HSBC

“We wanted to provide some practical tools for our people to help them in life and work.  The mindfulness sessions followed on nicely as a continued learning experience after our stress less wellness programme that we rolled out last year.   The content is beautifully simple and backed by scientific research.  The practical, no-fuss approach has been one of the factors that made this programme so popular amongst our staff.  The ability to provide a programme that is practical, engaging and simple for people to implement is often underestimated.

Kristy beautifully brings this to life because she has worked in an office environment at senior management level, so she understands the demands of corporate life. She is able to hold this space for people to share their own experiences. Kristy is relatable and pragmatic in her approach which people appreciated. She also has a lovely calm energy which is a testament to what she is teaching people.

Naveya & Sloane

“Kristy brought the most amazing energy. We listened to her speak about mindfulness and stress management. Her wisdom and understanding of these areas really connected with all of us. Kristy has the ability to deliver powerful messages in a way that is easy and enjoyable to comprehend, there were some fantastic golden nuggets. The theory of mindfulness can often feel a bit airy-fairy, but Kristy was able to use science-based facts to help really connect her thinking, which was incredibly powerful.”

Olivia Moore, Naveya & Sloane

Bosch Home Appliances

“It has been a pleasure working with Mind Bright. Kristy has a down-to-earth, practical approach to wellbeing in the workplace (and at home), with people and the business in mind. Kristy has a wealth of knowledge in this field and our team really enjoyed her presentation style. The content was relevant and interesting and staff were able to walk away with a tool kit that is simple to implement.”

Mediaworks

“Such a great session, the team loved it. Personal, clear, good, simple suggestions.”

Charlotte McLauchlan, Mediaworks

“So many Aha moments! I loved that the content was science-based and focused on the brain but with a real life lense. I have such a better understanding of how my mind and body work when it comes to stress and feel inspired and motivated for change.”

Workshop attendee, Mediaworks
