At the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) we foster a supportive setting and encourage a healthy work-life balance. In April 2021 we invited Ela Amarie to host a course on how to cultivate attention and awareness through mindfulness. The training gave out staff members insights on how to take full advantage of their mental resources and remain balanced\, focused\, resilient and effective in the midst of our daily working life. We received very good feedback from participants and will be happy to involve Ela Amarie in future activities.” Raluca Hodoroaba\, Training and Community Engagement Officer CSCS Swiss National Supercomputing Centre \n  \n“In my role as Global HR Business Partner for Group Informatics at F. Hoffmann – La Roche\, I had the pleasure to work with Ela Amarie twice. First as an attendee of one her mindfulness programs and secondly\, we organized together a leadership team workshop that included mindfulness and unconscious bias topics. I extremely appreciate her professional approach and flexibility to address individual needs of a team – she’s never just applying a standard procedure. She always finds the right balance between understanding the mindset of super busy professionals and creating an environment that allows reflection and discussions on mindfulness. I can absolutely recommend a collaboration with Ela Amarie – it’s very worthwhile the investment!” Brian Eichenberger\, HR Business Partner Roche \n  \n“Ela has been a guest at several events in our company. One of the most popular was the “Healthy Mind Platter”. There were many activities and participants had a lot of fun. It is a talent to present this topic with much laughter. Recently Ela ran a Mindfulness session online during our Inclusion Week\, again the feedback was very positive. I thank Ela very much for her valuable contribution.” Wibke Reigber\, Occupational Health & Wellbeing Professional Johnson & Johnson \n  \n“It’s my pleasure to recommend Ela Amarie as a Mindfulness Trainer. She was training our management team at of Park Hyatt Zurich in terms of mindfulness while conducting the Search Inside Course for 30 people. We thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day course with Ela and were impressed about her knowledge on a variety of mindful areas. her psychology knowledge and expertise in theoretical and practical mindfulness was a huge advantage to the entire audience. Without a doubt\, I highly recommend Ela Amarie as a dedicated and knowledgeable mindfulness trainer. I know she will bring the topics pf mindfulness with a sound knowledge as a beneficial addition to your organization as well.”  Stephanie Huerttle\, Area Director of Human Resources\, Hyatt \n  \n“In preparation for our annual team outdoor meeting a colleague came up with the idea of including a session on mindfulness. At the time I was not sure about this. I felt this was not business related enough and that the team might not take it seriously. I was wrong!! Ela’s session was inspiring and big success. People liked it very much and have even enquired about possible follow up sessions. For some of them it was their first experience of building healthy awareness and consciousness\, thereby helping to maintain attention and balance. For others it was a good moment for their own personal reflection and focus. In particular\, for our organization\, it was an opportunity to learn about an additional key skill in effectiveness and efficiency in the workplace.” Dr. Pascal Scheiwiller\, Managing Director von Rundstedt \n  \n“We had asked Ela to introduce mindfulness at Von Rundstedt Switzerland in order to familiarize and benefit our teams. Ela designed and moderated a series of workshops for us. She diligently and successfully engaged participants and maintained a high level of interest in her approach thanks to her deep expertise\, her empathy and dedication. Today\, after her workshops have ended\, various smaller groups of individuals continue practicing mindfulness together. I am happy to recommend Ela to learning and development managers and others who want to introduce mindfulness to their organizations and are looking to be guided in this process.” Casten Sudhoff\, Director Von Rundstedt \n  \n“We invited Ela to our Regional Learning and Development meeting at the beginning of the year. Ela demonstrated to be a very flexible and customer-oriented partner\, adapting to our meeting purpose\, audience and timing. Despite the fact that Mindfulness topic was new for many of our participants\,  we received very good feedback about the experience; it was a nice start to our busy agenda afterwards” Greta Mora-Herra\, Talent and Effectiveness Manager for European Headquarter of Mondelez International \n\nGET IN TOUCH: \nela.amarie@themindfulbrain.net / ela.amarie@gmail.com\nLINKEDIN: Ela Amarie \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Psychological Counseling and Individual Mindfulness Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Psychological Counseling and Individual Mindfulness Sessions\n\n\n\nPsychological counseling provides a safe\, confidential space to explore\, and come to understand better places of pain\, distress and suffering. In the light of this understanding\, we can find new ways of relating to these difficulties and to begin to let go of unhelpful struggles. With courage\, and commitment to the things that matter most to you\, it is possible to find and cultivate our human potential for wisdom\, kindness\, courage\, and compassion. \nYou learn specific skills for working with turbulent thoughts\, difficult emotions and unhealthy behaviors and to cultivate calm\, resilience\, clarity\, wisdom. \nDuring the sessions you will be in the driving seat and we will work together to address the things that are important to you. You will have space to reflect and speak openly and I will listen carefully. I will provide some information to contextualize our work and we will practice some skills to help you manage difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively – such as mindful awareness\, emotion regulation\, skillful perspective taking – all to help you take compassionate\, effective action in the face of difficulty and move forward in your life. \nAreas that can be addressed:\n– chronic fatigue and sleeping problems\n– stress and burnout\n– emotional eating\n– anxiety and worrying\n– depression and sadness\n– life transitions\n– difficulty focusing and emotional reactivity\n– chronic pain and illness \nYou acquire tools and practices that can bring mental and emotional balance\, clarity and peace of mind. The promise is not that you will not have to face difficulties again or that you will no longer experience the heights and depths of emotions but you will learn to respond to them in healthier manner. \nThe approach incorporates new findings from Neuroscience\, Cognitive Psychology\, Medicine\, together with Contemplative practices (meditative practices\, breathing\, light movement\, visualizations). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet the benefits of mindfulness training adapted to the demands of your life!\n\n\n\nThe individual sessions are offered in two forms: \n1.
