What Others are Saying About The Memphis Center for Mindful Living

I've participated in one day in person and online mindfulness retreats with Dr. Balentine, as well as a weekend retreat and many meditation sessions. She uses mindful attention to breath, food, nature, sound and movement as tools to manage and reduce stress and anxiety. Her friendly and accepting personality creates a warm, welcoming environment.

Dr. Balentine’s mindfulness class helped me reduce anxiety and better manage day-to-day stress. An added benefit has been learning to be more present in the moment and in relationships. I’d highly recommend the Memphis Center for Mindful Living!

I am remarkably pleased with the success of the Mindfulness program for our students at Maxine Smith STEAM Academy. Through grade-level assemblies, small group sessions, and weekly Mindful Moments videos, Dr. Balentine's investment in the social-emotional well-being of our students, throughout virtual learning and presently, has been invaluable for their optimism, self-esteem, and interpersonal development.
