What people are saying about the Mind Body Skills Group
“Overall these sessions and group are a great source of strength, inspiration, self love, togetherness and a safe place to revive yourself with a holistic approach. The best thing we learn is that our own mind, body and soul has the power to heal ourselves from every tough disease/circumstances, it’s just that we need to focus and realize our own inner self and strength. Thank you again to dear Jessica, all group members and everyone who has dedicated their time to bring in this wonderful course and place to help mankind.”

“Medical school comes with its many challenges and dealing with them can become difficult. With Dr. Singh’s teachings I was able to not only learn ways to try to decrease my stress levels and be able to think with a clearer mind, but they also helped me learn a lot about myself which I had not realized before the course. Now, I know many helpful and simple exercises, such as breathing techniques and journaling which I can use for myself and also share with my future patients.”
– Renu, Medical Student
