• " I attended the MBSR course last year and it has helped me a great deal in my life. Toby is professional and delivers the lessons in a gentle yet powerful way that can help reduce the impacts of stress, mentally, physically and emotionally. I can highly recommend to everyone."

  • "Toby's course was excellent! It had a positive impact on my general wellbeing and equipped me well for moving forward in my own mindful practice. Toby has a very calming presence when leading meditation, and has research and evidence to back up the information he delivers. I highly recommend this course!"

  • " I've just completed the Mindfulness for Modern Life 8 Week Course with Toby and it has really given me a fresh perspective on how to cope with the stresses and issues of daily life. I especially enjoyed the silent retreat day of the course, spent in meditation and mindful activity and which was incredibly grounding for me."

  • “I've just finished Toby's Mindfulness for Modern Life eight week course. I came to it at a difficult time in my life and the course taught me some really useful techniques to deal with difficult emotions and to find stillness when life is stressful, and to feel self-compassion. Toby is such a patient teacher, he created a space that felt safe and welcoming and we were all able to share our experiences and feel close as a group. The group and the space were a real haven for me and I will always be grateful."

  • "If you’re even considering joining Toby’s course - do it! I can whole heartedly say it will be positively life changing 💜 I learnt so much, connected with lots of wonderful people and developed so many skills around the tools for how to have a happier, less stressed life - for both me and my family. Having already read a reasonable amount of books around mindfulness and meditation over a number of years and failed to really commit to it, the course massively helped me - but it’s also ideal for anyone who’s completely new to mindfulness or meditation and is looking for more positivity in life. 💜✌️."

    Sarah P.T (Leeds)

  • "Toby’s eight week course was my first introduction into Mindfulness training. Toby‘s class felt safe, secure and nurturing. I’ve never meditated before and had always imagined it would be really hard. Turns out it’s very easy! I can truly say that for me, learning Mindfulness practice has been transformational!"

    L. Atwood (Leeds)

  • "Toby is a passionate, knowledgeable, and skilled mindfulness and meditation teacher. Prior to starting Toby's 8-week mindfulness course, I had very little experience of any formal meditation and I was slightly apprehensive about the journey ahead. Toby provided weekly teaching sessions, meditation recordings complementing our teaching sessions themes, support over email or telephone, and a bespoke mindfulness manual carefully broken down into weekly thematic chapters. His course gives you all the tools to confidently practice formal meditation on a daily basis and implement the teachings into your daily life. Toby teaches from a secular approach, drawing on research from modern neuroscience, in addition to honouring and respecting the findings and wisdom from long-standing teachings in the Buddhist faith. He is a very relatable practitioner who teaches with passion and a sense of humour. I would recommend his course to anyone, especially those looking to improve their sense of well-being by pursuing a mindful way of living.."

    Kate H. (Otley)

  • " As part of my journey from the dark days of PTSD, I have read and researched many subjects & therapies. Full Catastrophe Living - Jon Kabat-Zinn, was a book that caught my attention and interest. Finding, and completing, a mindfulness course was the natural progression. Learning to take time being, and not just doing, may prove to be life changing. Toby's delivery of the course was digestible and I soon became at ease to be meditating with people I only knew through the course. Meditation practice in class was supported by 'online' home practices & course workbook. I would 100% recommend mindfulness & 'One Life Mindfulness'."

    Charlie (Wakefield)

  • " I joined Toby’s mindfulness group during a period of transition in my life. His approach has helped me to manage these changes in a more mindful, healthy way. Noticing how I’m feeling, being kinder and less judgemental of myself. Responding instead of reacting to the daily stresses life throws our way. Toby has years of mindfulness practice and he guided us to explore different styles of mindfulness / meditation. He is great at helping you figure out what works best for you. I really recommend joining one of Toby’s courses."
