Anusha is one of the most dynamic speakers we have had present at our annual orthopedic Nursing Symposium. She spoke on Anxiety eduction Techniques for the orthopedic Nurse and Their patients . The participants raved about her lecture and her willingness to share her expertise in mindfulness. Anusha led the attendees through a mindful breathing exercise that captured the essence of her guidance, support and coaching that anyone in the healthcare industry could benefit from both professionals and patients . The audience was inspired to continue practicing mindfulness and focusing on the breath to help control stressors and as a result feel better-equipped to teach patients these techniues to help reduce their anxiety. We highly recommend Anusha for any upcoming educational event to add a dimension to the learning experience that the participants truly appreciate and walk away with some very useful techniques

The WOW event that Anusha spoke at for our women’s group back in March was wonderful, informative and educational. ur clients all walked away from her presentation with new tools to help them navigate through their stressful days. earning that there are other ways to cope and deal with the stress of our daily lives was eye-opening to the women in our group, and I know that many of them including myself have added mindful meditation to their daily routine.
