"Our program is now in full swing and I have facilitated 7 sessions using every tool and piece of advice you gave us. Our program seems to be a success. I have 35 people signed up and I'm running 2 back to back lunchtime sessions to fit everyone in. On average I get about 8 - 10 people per session as not everyone makes it due to other demands."

"I am from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and I took The Calm Monkey’s excellent online Facilitator Training course in 2016. It gave me the confidence I needed to go out into the community at large and share knowledge, experience and most importantly, help with practice to the people of the UAE. As a result of TCM's easy to use and highly effective online course, I now offer the UAE’s first internationally accredited mindfulness course for children. I go in to schools and train teachers on how they can bring Mindfulness into their classroom. It was very important that I created something unique and specific to this region. It had to remain non secular and we had to make sure its lineage could not be traced back to any practicing religion and would remain science based. I am very pleased to say, I am now offering Mindful Seeds training to the entire faculty of my third school and I am so grateful to Wendy for her continued support and giving me the confidence to reach out to the children of the UAE. Thank you Wendy and good luck to all TCM facilitators out there, we ARE making a difference!"
~Justine, Sandy Seeds

"I'm really glad I chose The Calm Monkey for my Facilitator training. It went beyond what I anticipated. I feel all of the bases were covered for helping me roll out meditation sessions throughout my organization. I'm confident that I'll be supported well after my training and certification. Wendy is truly there for you when you need her. She proved this by answering my emails right away. Each time I received a reply from her the very next day, which I really appreciated. It validated that my questions and concerns were important and that Wendy is truly vested in my success." ~Tanya.
"I had already started facilitating informally, but this gave me the confidence and toolkit to take it to next level." ~Janice.
"LOVE that I have all these wonderful resources to use! I liked the pieces where I had to create my success plan and take action so that I wasn't just consuming material.
