What People say about this Course
"A real life changer. I was undergoing an internal mental struggle coping with the stresses of everyday life and the feeling of self doubt was shadowing me. While still work in progress, Natalie has really helped me be more mindful and calm. Being more mind focused in stressful situations I am now able to distinguish what is important and have a clearer mind. Thank you so much, for everything you do for me and my whole family."
- M. P.
"I find mindfulness to be simply amazing! This is my third year attending a mindfulness course by Natalie and I have enjoyed every single session. Practicing mindfulness has helped me deal with difficult situations at work and in everyday life - as a mum, as a wife, as a daughter, as a friend. It has also helped me in many aspects of my life - dealing with fear, stress, understanding others, being empathetic. Natalie is very helpful and always there when you need her. Mindfulness works in every moment of life. I think everyone should do this. Bottom line - mindfulness is a must and Natalie is amazing!"
- E. P
"The mindfulness course offered me a safe space for me to identify my thoughts and feelings in an unprecedented way! Every session gets me a step closer to living my life responsibly and with commitment. I can now pay attention to the unhealthy beliefs I developed growing up. By being mindful and able to dismantle my automatic reactions I get to be the one who creates who I want to be in life and not the circumstances... ❤"
- M. K
"Mindfulness has changed my life in many different ways on a positive note. I have benefited from the course and from Natalie’s deep commitment to mindfulness itself and her students. What Natalie has equipped us with goes way beyond the ordinary courses and it comes from her own personal experiences, resources and insight. Her knowledge and understanding of mindfulness, together with her enthusiasm, dedication and concern for each person individually is admirable. She magically knows exactly what’s the issue and she always has the best guidance on how to go about and solve it. I have taken valuable tools from her teachings and practice and thanks to her I feel better able to handle everyday stress and difficulties, being more mindful of little things and being able to notice the happy moments. Mindfulness is the best gift we can give to ourselves and Natalie makes it even more worthwhile."

About Natalie
Natalie Zannettou is the founder of Mindfulness for Life. She founded this organization inside her commitment for people, and particularly kids to find true freedom. It is her belief that true freedom comes from deep self-awareness and understanding of what influences our being-ness, our actions and thus the way we live our life.
"My dream is that we all understand our human design and nature and use this knowledge to build strong relationships, transcend personal limitations and raise free and emotionally mature and intelligent children. Understanding who we are, why we act the way we act, why we get angry when we do, why we are suffering and how to break free is key to our own happiness, success and peace of mind, but also to our children's happiness, success and inner peace. Loving them is not enough, knowing how to lovingly nurture a powerful self-concept will make all the difference."

How do our Webinars work?
The program we use for our webinars is Zoom. It takes two minutes to download and once it is on your computer, phone or tablet the only thing you have to do to get in the Webinar is click on the link I will be sending the day before the Webinar. The webinars run over a series of sessions. Each session is approximately an hour and a half. You will have to log in 10 min in advance so that we can begin on time. We may run a bit after the end time. Our programs require spontaneity and following the participants' needs, so if there is an important discussion I will probably choose to complete it and run overtime. After each session you can email me questions on the material we covered. We will be sending you a video recording with the answers.
In case you miss a session, I will be uploading the recording of the session on the webinar's page on the website the following day and it will be available for you to watch for two weeks. It is important that you listen to the recording, go over the session's handout and listen to the questions and answers so that you can catch up with the work that you missed, prior to our next session. I will also be posting there all the relevant mindful exercises for your practice, and others that you can practice with your children. Finally, I will be posting other relevant content on our webinar's web page weekly. You will have access to that for the entire duration of the webinar and after. To support the participants and create room for discussing the work we will be doing and our breakthroughs, there will be a chat room that you can choose to participate in or not.
Free Gift
As a free gift we will send you via email a handout of each session of the Webinar so that you can revisit at any time what we covered in this course. This way if you are dealing with anything in the future you can return to the distinctions of this course and the practices we will cover and use them for the rest of your life!
Another Free Gift
You will also gain access to our online platform where there will be access for life to all the video materials we use for this course and the reading that is relevant to our weekly discussions. Furthermore you will have access to all the recordings of the meditations we do during the course and many other variations of them, so that you can practice for life!
