Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
“Mindfulness is not about sitting still and doing nothing; it’s about doing everything with presence. Each breath reminds us there is more right with us than wrong with us, and how we show up in the world begins here.”

“I am 71 years old, a retired wildland firefighter, a 70% disabled Vietnam War Veteran living with PTSD, and for the past 11 years I have served as a fire lookout. It’s difficult to express in just a few words how valuable the MBSR program has been to me in such a short period of time.
Fifty years ago, this course would have profoundly influenced my life, my family, and indirectly hundreds of others I served alongside. My advice is simple: don’t wait, act now and live a better life.
Michelle’s disposition, compassion, and kindness have been inspirational to all who have had the good fortune of knowing her. Her knowledge and skills make her an extremely effective instructor and mentor. The soft tone of her voice is mesmerizing, and her presence creates a safe, healing space.
She is a truly gifted steward and an exceptional facilitator of the MBSR program. The way she implements and manages the program is outstanding, and I am deeply grateful for the impact it has had on my life.”

“I recently attended the 8‑week Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction workshop led by Michelle Reugebrink, and it has been one of the most valuable courses I have ever taken. Michelle provided practical tools to manage stress, whether at home or at work, and the impact has been profound.
In meetings, I now feel calmer, able to listen more fully, and contribute without becoming angry or defensive. Over the eight weeks, I began exercising more, eating healthier, and sleeping better. The changes have made me more effective and productive both at work and at home, simply by carving out time for myself through this practice.
Michelle is a gifted facilitator, and I am deeply grateful for the transformation this course has brought to my life.”

“Michelle, just wanted to let you know how much practicing mindfulness this past year has helped me. I sleep better, I’m able to handle high‑stress situations more calmly, and the biggest difference shows up in my home life. Just the other day my boys told me, ‘You look happy, Papa.’ I never thought I wasn’t, but clearly something has shifted.
I also recently completed my CPT certification, studying throughout this fire season. Honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without the support of mindfulness and meditation.
Thank you so much for the work you do and the difference you make.”

“Hi Michelle,
Your class was one of the most important things I’ve ever done for myself, and that’s saying a lot after 63 years of life experience! I can’t thank you enough for the guidance and tools you’ve provided. The compassion, kindness, and care you’ve shown us bring tears to my eyes every time I think about it. I am committed to practicing mindfulness meditation for the rest of my life.
Michelle is an excellent teacher. She offered guidance, practical tools, and steady support that I now use in both my formal meditation practice and informal moments throughout the day. The irritation and frustration I once felt toward my co‑workers has shifted to a more compassionate and kind view. My outlook is positive, I enjoy coming to work, and discussions with colleagues are more relaxed and productive. I even completed a complicated quarterly report, something I’ve done for six years, four days early, which has never happened before.
I live with anxiety, and I’ve noticed a significant decrease in symptoms. My anxiety often triggered shallow breathing and difficulty catching my breath, but those issues have subsided. I also have PTSD, and at my next doctor’s appointment I plan to discuss reducing or even stopping the medication I’ve been using to manage it.
This course has truly changed my life, and I am deeply grateful.”
