"Attending meditation classes at Full Spectrum Wellness has made a difference in my life. I feel more relaxed at work, and more easily deal with stress of every day living. However, I admit, at first I was not sure about trying another meditation class. I had tried and left other meditation groups in the past because I found myself feeling like I was “doing it wrong”, or I was “way behind” in experience, or the pace of the course was too fast. Thankfully, that was not the case at Full Spectrum Wellness. From the very first day Deb LeClair had me feeling completely comfortable with where I was in my learning and meditation practice. Deb walked us through every step, explaining the what and the why of mindfulness so that we were not just jumping in without understanding what it is to meditate. Also, one of the first lessons Deb reviewed was “compassion” – compassion in the sense that there is no “doing it wrong”, and she explained that it’s okay if you have thoughts running around your head. That lesson of compassion is one that Deb repeatedly refers to and the authenticity with which she expresses such compassion with me and the other students has been a key to my continued interest in her class.

Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of attending the class at Full Spectrum Wellness is the sense of community and care that the instructors (Deb and Heidi) have created. When I go in the morning, and I see familiar faces (those in the class and Deb and Heidi), it feels good. It makes me smile to be with a group of people that I can share my experiences with.

I have enjoyed the meditation class at Full Spectrum Wellness and plan on looking at attending other programs and classes that they offer. I have had such a positive experience and I would highly recommend anyone to this organization because the staff at Full Spectrum Wellness truly has the interest of their clients at heart."
