What They’re Saying

Reviews - DATA

Amber’s expertise in the field of mindfulness, yoga and energy work (to name a few) have been extremely beneficial for our entire family. Rocky Ridge Retreat and its incredible surroundings offers a beautiful backdrop to retune, recondition and reset! The last few years have been tough on many, and the tools and techniques Amber shares pave the path towards ‘pressing the pause button’ more often. Not only is Amber at the forefront of this movement, she has helped our family to thrive at work and at home by teaching us that the best way to speed up is to actually to slow down.

Amber’s knowledge, professionalism and calming personality helped the students respect and respond to her immediately. I definitely recommend using her a resource to support the well-being of both your staff and students for a mindfulness residency.

Amber reminded me to breathe and inspired me to be mindful which has had significant benefits in my life. I can manage a better day today with Amber’s teachings and I’ve found new life with being calm & mindful. Thank you Amber! I appreciate your work greatly.

~Corinne Maher, Real Estate Agent

We had the absolute pleasure of being part of a seminar in our office hosted by Amber. She spoke of her journey to mindfulness and how it could benefit us in all aspects of our life including work. Her approach, knowledge and overall attitude towards life as a whole is a breath of fresh air. I learned so much in such a short time that I could immediately start practicing. I was even able to share some pointers with my young daughters to help keep them calm and thoughtful during daily challenges.

~Erin Gilmar, Financial Services Manager

I took Amber's Beginner Mindfulness Course and highly recommend her classes if you are interested in learning about mindfulness. She shares her knowledge and experience in a kind, respectful and genuine way. Amber makes everyone in the room feel comfortable!
