Testimonials

“Mind-Body skill tools have contributed to my own healing and been my island of support through challenging times. When we take one moment at a time to be present with our self-care, I believe we can become true and authentic selves.” —Manizeh

Groups

“Dr. Mirza-Gruber lead our group of physicians, nurses, and therapists. She was extremely attentive and sensitive from beginning to end in structuring the group, making us comfortable with one another, and teaching the skills. She offered constancy, active listening, humor, and helped us trust in the leader and each other. She’s one of the most soothing people, too! I felt fortunate to be able to take part in this special program, particularly during the stressful time of a community and world-wide epidemic.” —Kenneth Arfa, MD Psychiatrist, Mind-Body Skills Group for Health Professional, 2020 Participant

“Under Manizeh’s guidance, a community conducive to healing was created. We became a family – supporting each other’s individual life-journeys, incorporating tools that helped us give birth to our highest healed selves. For this, I am most grateful”. —LHP, Mind-Body Skills Group, 2021 Participant

“I participated in Dr Mirza-Gruber’s mind and body skills group. The content and activities are nicely organized and split into 6 sessions. The first group was very connecting and awakening. I was so lucky to be in a group of participants who also were going thought different life challenges and were open to share with each other. They turned out to be my great support. Dr MG has a way to help calm and sooth my nerves and bring the inner self out into surface so I got the chance to deal with what I got stuck and to start my healing journey. I highly recommend people to give themselves a chance to explore their inner self and create this special Intra-personal relationship. Thank you! ” — Mind-Body Skills Group, 2019 Participant

“Manizeh is very passionate and knowledgeable with the material. Always well-prepared for the sessions. I like that she truly practices what she preaches and shares with us her own life how the program's skills is integrated into her life. She did an excellent job creating a sense of community in a virtual way - not an easy task! Group size felt right. Any larger group and it may have been challenging to get through the material and sharing.” —Paula, Mind-Body Skills Group for Healthcare Professionals, 2020 Participant

“I made an investment in my mental health and wellbeing when I signed up for Manizeh’s Mind-Body Skills Group. Having attended one of her seminars prior to this, I knew she was an amazing teacher, but now I know she is an amazing leader as well.

Even though I am a staunch advocate of self-care, it took Manizeh’s group to overcome a trauma that had occurred years ago. The trauma had become an insurmountable barrier which held me back on so many levels. Over the years, I had become comfortable with the trauma and the resulting sadness.

I wasn't sure how doing an online group could effectively help but I was willing to try because I wanted to be free of the sadness. The weekly calls, the laughter, and the exercises allowed me to release the pain and to feel hopeful that I can finally live the way I want to, no matter what chaos was going on.

We all have hurts in some form or another. It's just that some hurts can deeply affect us no matter how much time goes by. You need tools to help you rediscover the peace and strength you've always had, and that's what Manizeh teaches you in this group.

If you're willing to put in the work, you will definitely see a return on your investment. You truly get out what you put in”. —MJ, Mind-Body Skills Group, 2021 Participant

“As a practicing Cardiologist for over 20 years I was well aware of the mind and body connection and its power. However, in my view, the mind-body connection was predominantly the mind influencing the body. Through Manizeh's kind and compassionate leadership and the power of the Mind-Body Skills Group I learned that the body also influences the mind in an exceptional way. The skills learned in this course have definitely improved my well-being and are now part of my self-care routine.”—Mind-Body Skills Group for Health Professionals, 2020 Participant

Workshops

“I found Manizeh's workshop on Gratitude to be so powerful and healing. I practice gratitude daily but still gained so much from being led through a series of gratitude meditations by such a skilled facilitator. It is also so beneficial to practice in a community and I gained a lot from being in the presence of the others in the group. Manizeh has a kind and gentle presence, and I would highly recommend her workshops and courses to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves and strengthen their mind-body-soul connection whether you're new to meditation or not.” —Basheerah, Gather in Gratitude Workshop, 2021 Participant

“Manizeh is so very skillful in what she does. In just moments, she created a warm and inviting community (even though it was virtual!) and I found myself connecting with a layer of myself I didn't even know existed. While many parts of this workshop were beautiful and touching, one of the most eye-opening experiences was a guided imagery technique that led me to have a moment of self-love. I spend my days as most people do- concerned about others and fearful of my inner self. I had a critical moment in the guided imagery where I was able to face myself and deal with some suppressed thoughts head on. It's a powerful reminder how we have so much love to not only give others but also to ourselves. I highly recommend any of Manizeh's workshops as I know I will be continuing my journey with gratitude and self-love with her! Thank you, Manizeh! I'm more than grateful our paths have crossed.” —Rashi, Gather in Gratitude Workshop, 2021 Participant
