“Being a litigation lawyer for the last 13 years eventually has an impact on one’s psyche and physical being…The session presented by Maneesha encapsulated all my favourite techniques which she presented to her audience virtually with ease, calmness and a presence that both enlightened and soothed the soul…I would definitely attend another session with her in the future! Thank you Maneesha.”

— Tejal H., Lawyer

“I’ve never made the time to learn yoga or to practice meditation, though I know both would help me. Recently, I had the good fortune to participate in one of Maneesha’s Mindfulness sessions. The whole experience was great, but what I particularly appreciated were the breathing exercises. I admit that insomnia has become a problem for me during Covid. Maneesha’s breathing exercises have helped me immensely to calm my mind, relax, and get back to sleep. The result? I am more rested, more productive, and better able to show up for my family and my clients. Thank you, Maneesha!”

“Maneesha ran a fabulous session for my global Virtual Coffeehouse workshop series. She presents mindfulness and relaxation techniques that you can easily understand and integrate into your daily life—even when you’re sitting at your desk—so that you can reduce stress and stay focused. Her online presence is both calming and professional, and she has adapted her teaching really well to our new online reality. I would highly recommend booking Maneesha and Mindful Lawyer Canada for a mindfulness workshop with your team. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Today, I had the honour of being the online host to Maneesha who delivered a virtual talk to university students that may very well have been one of the most memorable talks I've attended. She mixed wisdom with humility -- and shared her story with the utmost of professionalism, courage and grace. Using visuals, polling, and storytelling, she truly captivated both the virtual audience of stressed-out millennials (who sung her praises in the chatroom and regaled her with questions) and older staffers like me. Her message is universal and applicable to all!”

— A. Gampel, Associate Director, Alumni Engagement

“If you're considering asking Maneesha to speak to your team or organization - don't hesitate to do it! Maneesha was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She took the time to really understand what themes we wanted her to speak to and she hit every one of them in her keynote talk. Her content was inspiring, positive and uplifting and she is a wonderful speaker, delivering her talk with warmth. We're so proud Maneesha is a York alumna and can recommend her as an excellent speaker.”

— E. Coult, Alumni Engagement Officer

“I've done the breath of fire in yoga classes before and was never comfortable with it.  I didn't have the same apprehensions about the exercises that Maneesha taught us, and one of them was amazing to help me get over my fear of not having enough air when I am breathing through my nose! I came away from the session with my spirit lifted and feeling full of peace, love and hope. I think anyone living in a stressful environment, which the world right now is, and particularly lawyers to whom Maneesha tailored her session, would genuinely benefit from Maneesha's Mindfulness for Lawyers program. I look forward to the next time that Maneesha guides my mind to ease. I think about and put to use on a daily basis the techniques that Maneesha taught during that hour. Maneesha led us through a guided meditation to relax us from head to toe. Her voice and manner of speaking are perfectly suited for that role. Everything that Maneesha said resonated with me and I felt like she was speaking to me directly. I really like how Maneesha emphasized love, putting a particular focus on self-love and compassion.”

— Anastasia K., Lawyer

“I highly recommend the meditation sessions of the Mindful Lawyer. As lawyers, our profession is very demanding and dependent on our cognitive abilities. With the added stresses that many of us are feeling due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, challenges with our mental health can creep up without warning if remained unchecked. I commend Maneesha Gupta for recognizing the importance of a healthy mind and creating this program to assist us in maintaining our inner strength. Akin to going to the gym for the brain, these sessions are calming and rejuvenating. Do try it out if you get the opportunity.”

— Ankur N., Legal Counsel, Purolator Inc.

“I recently attended the Pivoting, Reinventing and Empowered Living through Change and Transition workshop conducted by Maneesha and it was an amazing and eye-opening experience. I've been interested in becoming more mindful and finding natural and healthy ways to deal with daily stress. I was immediately put to ease by her calm and encouraging demeanor. She was very knowledgeable and experienced in her mediation and breathing practices and she made very difficult concepts and exercises seem simple and achievable by a neophyte like myself. I was worried that I would be intimidated, but Maneesha's clear and instructive approach as she moved from exercise to exercise, made the entire experience enjoyable and restorative. By the end of the class, I felt relaxed and inspired to learn and practice more. I would gladly take any of Maneesha's workshops and I highly recommend her as a teacher and motivator. Maneesha, thanks for a wonderful experience and look forward to learning more from you.”

— Will R., Lawyer, Assistant General Counsel, McDonald’s

“I want to take the opportunity to thank you again for the most insightful training program I have ever attended. I have learnt wonderful things in the last year with this group and I loved sharing what I learnt with my family and having great discussions with you based on the topics we covered. You have ensured that each and every one of these sessions was interactive, engaging and offered valuable information on mental health. I enjoyed meeting other lawyers in your Cutting-Edge Neuroscience of Mindfulness series and hope to see it offered more.”

— Michael B., Lawyer

“Mindful Lawyer Canada is an initiative that was much needed, now more than ever, keeping in view the stressful and unprecedented time the world is facing. The struggles faced by the legal professionals could be overwhelming and meditation is the best way to maintain life’s balance. I attended a meditation session by Maneesha. She has a very optimistic aura and I felt the positive vibes while attending the session. Virtual life can be isolating and being a part of wellness activities, one can feel connected and empowered! Thank you Maneesha for opening up Mindful Lawyer to the world!”

— Anjali C., Lawyer

“Mindful Lawyer Canada has change my entire outlook on health and wellness. While meditating with others, I've learned how maintaining a healthy routine (a food list, breathing exercises, meditation and yoga) can transform my physical and mental health. Maneesha is helpful and knowledgeable. Her sessions make me feel good, lighter and full of energy. I look forward to my next workshop with her!”

— Sarah A., Lawyer

“I found Mindful Lawyer Canada online and was not sure what to expect. Feeling for the first time a deep connection within my body, mind and soul in the workshop was very special. Maneesha has an incredibly calm and healing voice and an ability to put you at ease. Her words are inspiring and empowering. She called me the next day to follow up. Support is important as you travel on a journey toward wellness. By joining this community, you will not be disappointed and you may even find yourself feeling better than ever.”

— Samantha, Lawyer

“Your presentation as a Keynote Speaker on resiliency and authenticity at our high school’s Asian Heritage Month 2021 was amazing! And so relevant for our students. I think being alumni makes your message even more meaningful. Mr. Servidio thanks you as well. I am still getting emails from staff about the positive feedback from our community. It was such an honour and inspiration to hear about your experiences and valuable lessons for our students! As I mentioned we are so blessed as a community to have a young person like you to look up to!
