Mindfulness, Aerial & Yoga Classes

I must start by saying that Mindful Space curates the best learning experiences for families! With them, we have gone for walks in the nights in search of bats, learnt the patience behind the hobby of fishing, enjoyed walking through streams in the rain, posed on aerial yoga hammocks gracefully and even handcrafted our own wooden toy.

These are activities I would probably not have done (or thought of doing) with my children, if not for Mindful Space.

What really amazes me is how Vernessa (founder of Mindful Space) always makes a point to get to know the participants and connect with us on a personal level. It truly shows the passion she has in her work!

All the other teachers/coaches we encounter on the programmes are kind in their words and interactions too. I learnt tips along the way as a participating parent and I treasure these shared experiences with my child.

My girl went here for a 3 day mindfulness camp and it was truly transformational. She is a ball of energy, so we were sceptical sending her for three days of seemingly “quite” activities. Yet, it was a hit! She absolutely lived it.  It helped her to reflect on her behaviours and experiences in a very mature manner, she fell in love with aerial yoga and she made some good friends. The experience helped my daughter to feel more in control with her emotions and keen to continuously do better.  The camp was organised in a very thoughtful and professional manner, with attention to detail and amazing follow-up. I would also like to give big compliments for being open and transparent about the emotional challenges they observe my daughter faces. All spot on, with thorough analysis and recommendation. It’s hard to get to the crux of issues, particularly for a young kid in one day. It is even harder, and takes courage and professionalism, to openly share observed issues to the customer at the risk of not having recurring business, but it was handled exceptionally tactful, giving confidence that kids are really in good  hands and with caring hearts here. In addition to great experience and communication during the camp, we also got a comprehensive write-up on observations as well as a good set of photos to keep the good memories. Exceptional jib! Well beyond expectations.

I'm so so grateful that I had stumbled upon mindful space when searching for holiday camps for my P1 son. As my son has difficulties in controlling his emotions, I had wanted a camp that was focus on emotion well being. There aren't many kiddos camps around that focus on that. I had first reached out to the instructors to let them know about his situation to see if they are okay to accept my son. Vernessa who I had spoken to was very assuring over the call and welcoming for my son to join the 5 days of camp. Throughout the 5 days of camp, there had been episodes where my son was unable to control his anger and was disruptive to the class, but the instructors were able to understand him at his level and taught him to regulate himself without disrupting of the class. Despite the outbursts, my son still look forward to going to the camp every morning and shares that he enjoys himself. More importantly, he had great takeaways from the camp and had shared with our family - like learning how thoughts and words can be powerful and how if affects our habits and character. My husband and I are also in awe with the level of understanding and care that the instructors have for my child. They provided much insights to my child's behaviour and made many helpful suggestions. Vernessa had also introduced us to a therapist who may assist my child better. The team had also provided a super detailed write up and suggestions 1 to 2 weeks after the camp which is really helpful!

Much as we love our child, his emotions outbursts can be hard to deal with and at times leave us helpless and frustrated. We had started counselling sessions for a few months which had helped initially but seem to be at a standstill for awhile now and seems like we are back to the initial stage of helplessness. Vernessa and her team was able share new perspectives on my son's behaviour and their suggestions becomes our new tools to help our son in regulating his emotions and for that we are really grateful. The detailed observation of our child will not be possible without the love, care and big hearts from team. Kudos to Vernessa and her team for creating this safe and healthy programme and space for the kiddos!

My boy just completed the 1 week mindful space camp. To be honest, he wasn't really looking forward to it initially as he thought it would be boring. After the 1st day, he actually couldn't wait to attend the next day's class!

After the camp, I can tell he is trying very hard to incorporate the values he learnt from the camp into his daily routine. Am very happy to receive a very detailed report of his behaviour and the difficulties he faced and how he managed to overcome those during the camp. It helps me to understand my child a little bit better too. There were also suggestions on how we could further support our child in areas that he is not strong in. The trainers are all very friendly and approachable too.

I'm very glad I came across this camp. My child had alot of fun and he learnt alot. We could actually see a difference in his behaviour in the short span of 5 days. Thank you and please continue doing what you do!
