Testimonials

I liked the calmness, the creative energy, the group interaction, and the smiles on faces at the end of the session. After the training I felt “we can really do this!"

Having been to multiple trainings on mindfulness, Zoe Sameth was the most insightful, flexible, adaptive, and inspirational trainer in my 11 years as an educator.

Her trainings are outstanding! Zoe is stimulating, engaging, well-organized, well-prepared, sensitive to all participants, an excellent presenter and an interactive leader. The staff wants to do more in-depth training with Zoe.

When Zoe interviewed to be a Mindful Schools teacher, her ease, energy, communication and background won us all over. Zoe has a performance capacity mixed with technique and flexibility that is a success in all settings and with all ages. She is a fabulous teacher in the entire spectrum of schools from public to private, affluent to low-income, all demographics and locations. She is a “go-to” teacher for me.

Over the past three years Zoe has not only been a fabulous bilingual presenter at our workshops for staff, children, and parents, but she has built a partnership of trust among all in the course of her trainings, mentoring and role modeling. We have been very fortunate to have contracted with Zoe who has provided us with a relationship, connection, support, tools and guidance that staff and families need.

Zoe practices mindfulness as she educates. Her presence, storytelling, and calm being lend to an openness that promotes sharing and personal growth. Beyond the wealth of information and strategies shared, I learned that this is a way of being I will practice daily, as I want the families I work with to see it within me as I do in Zoe.

Excellent overview of leadership skills and self-care. It was very helpful and I can’t wait to implement them! Thank you so much for your time and expertise.

You have been able to bring out a gentler and more accepting side of each person and to facilitate the opening of our hearts and minds toward ourselves, each other, the children, and families. Your guidance has been powerful and productive and I am certain it will have a lasting effect on all of us.

Zoe is so calm, knowledgeable, caring and helpful — and mindful. I am lucky I got a chance to know her, her magic.

Thank you, Zoe, for your work in helping us take care of ourselves as we take care of others.

Zoe’s excellent skills in guiding people, along with her soothing voice and sparkling personality make her training and guided imagery sessions wonderful. After meeting with Zoe, I feel super relaxed and replenished. And my students (youth and adults) have experienced astonishing success managing test anxiety after one relaxation session with Zoe. This woman’s talents are exceptional - I highly recommend her!

Physical exercises helped me understand the teambuilding and communication concepts in a different way. I will use my better awareness of self and others in my work with staff, parents and the children.

Never in my life have I taken a training like this. In a few hours the stress I had been carrying for three weeks was gone. This is the best way to work. If I’m feeling good, I know that I will give the best of myself.

The skills taught are powerful! I like the vast amount of knowledge Zoe has on the subject. At the end of the workshop I am totally relaxed and ready to get back to work.

Zoe, we loved you and I know others will too. The wonderful work that you do all over this awesome country and the world is a true blessing. We need to take more time for ourselves and you motivate us and show us the perfect way to do that. You just continue to make other people’s life shine!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing mindfulness to my life. I won’t forget all I learned from your wonderful 3 days of relaxation, reflection and connection. Your CD is great!

I was a shy person. Now I’m not. I got a lot of confidence at this workshop, where everyone was given a chance to participate and share. Even a shy person felt encouraged. And not for a second were we distracted or thinking of any problem. We were just ourselves. We all went away with a smile on our faces.

Zoe’s presentation is perfect. She kept an upbeat yet relaxing flow throughout the day. I had much on my mind when I first got here. I began to put everything aside and focus on the training. By the end of the day I felt happy, joyous, and free.

This training was EXTREMELY productive in promoting team building and trust with the group. Zoe was very approachable and made it easy to share. She was fun and created a very relaxing environment. I felt like I had become part of a team.

I loved the camaraderie we were able to achieve in such a short time together. I loved the atmosphere of calmness. I loved the way the group supported me. Zoe has a calm, non-judgmental demeanor and ability and skill at validating all participants’ needs and feelings.

I feel like a new person! Before I was stressed and didn’t know what to do about it. I’ve been to many workshops and these two with Zoe are the best I’ve ever attended. Her rapport with the participants and way of teaching is excellent.

I have been taking medication for stress and although it helps me, I feel that this workshop helped me even more and I will continue attending these workshops.

Zoe was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly and very approachable. She made a point of connecting with everyone participating and was very conscious of our specific needs. The training was interactive and engaging. I feel like I’m leaving with a lot of wonderful ideas/activities for stress management, which I will use to help myself and my students de-stress and focus. This work is much needed and greatly appreciated.

I learned more about my co-workers and what causes them stress. It will help us to work together and be supportive of each other.

Before the training I felt stressed and not well. During I felt relaxed and in a safe place with people that really cared. I liked getting to know each other and knowing other people have the same stress as I do. Zoe really seemed to care about our feelings and health.

I liked Zoe’s ability to make us feel relaxed and comfortable not only with what we were doing but with each other - the laughter among us. She’s friendly, warm and open. I like her ability to make herself part of the group and yet still lead. I felt very very, very relaxed and at peace after the training.

Zoe is a great trainer. She brings with her empathy, love, and openness to enjoy the training.

Zoe is very positive and accommodating – she provides a comfortable zone and creates a safe space.

This had to be the best class I have ever taken for any job I have ever had!!!! I loved it!!!!

I will use what I learned today to reflect on my past and to bring my strength into the future. I would like to attend any training that Zoe teaches.

This is my second meeting with Zoe and just like the first time it was very informative and gave me a warm sense of connection. She is very upbeat and has a great spirit. I will use what I learned today in my professional and personal life.

Zoe is very warm and open in her approach. She follows the interests of the group and uses teachable moments to underline how each person can have a take-away. She has us draw our own conclusions on what will work for each of us.

Zoe is very knowledgeable with great instincts on what direction to take the group for its next activity. She did a lot of assessing and asking for feedback, keeping us together and focused and energized. This workshop was so useful, so helpful, so inspiring and rejuvenating. Zoe treated everyone with what felt like personal kindness and genuine caring!

Zoe’s centeredness is a living model of the practices she promotes.

Zoe was a great listener and speaker. She created a very comfortable and conducive environment. It was very informative and could be used in a practical manner.

Zoe Sameth’s Deep Relaxation CD is a magical and life-affirming blend of highly effective practices for releasing stress and tension, inviting your radiant well-being and clear presence to shine forth and illuminate your life and world. This is a jewel!

Zoe Sameth truly guides her listener to a calm, peaceful state of mind and body.

I carried Zoe Sameth’s ‘Deep Relaxation’ CD in my briefcase for two months, even on an overseas trip, with the idea I’d listen to it when I had time. But you know how it is. Then, a big crisis struck at work and I decided now was the time. What a difference this CD made. After I listened to it once, I became calm and found I had more energy. I was able to sail through the next two days even as things did not calm down at work. I am a convert!

I love the way Zoe creates the space for deep relaxation with her amazing, peaceful spirit. Her voice immediately sends me into a place of stillness. I've used lots of teachers and resources and have never gotten to this place as easily as with this tool. If your mind is busy, this will give you an awareness of your body that may be missing. I use the instrumental track when I want to connect to that place without completely going there, and it's so helpful.

Deeply relaxing my body and mind with Zoe’s technique helps me achieve the concentration and efficiency I need for the success of my business. This CD is an oasis of peace that allows me to recharge my energies at the time of the day I need it the most.

Deep Relaxation fluidly combines meditation instruction, mindfulness, and guided imagery in one very helpful tool for effortless relaxation – Zoe’s voice sounds wonderful and the language is very appealing.
