“Alicia’s meditation and mindfulness sessions couldn’t have come at a better time for FCM. The series not only gave folks opportunity to connect with themselves, but the format allowed the opportunity for participants to connect with one another through interactive Q&A’s. The information and tools provided throughout the program were shared in an accessible way and gave anyone who joined valuable insight (whether they thought they were a pro, or just getting started on their journey) so they could reinforce the foundation for a strong mindfulness practice of their own.
I know that our people really enjoyed the sessions, and from an administrative side – I just wanted to reiterate how much I appreciate how easy it was to implement this offering in a workplace. The program was so easy to get up and running and the flexibility in scheduling, as well as the ability to tailor offerings to what we were hearing our employees needed at that time (i.e. Upper Body Yoga) was really welcome..”

"I just wanted to acknowledge the power of your words and how they have helped me on days where I feel uncertain or disappointed in myself. You have given me a lot of strength during this difficult part of my life. You have helped me to be kinder to myself and to remember my self worth. In the moments I feel weak, I know I can read your words and remember that deep down I have the courage to be true to my heart. ”

"We brought Alicia to Athlete Institute to work on meditation and mental preparedness with a group of global elite athletes. Alicia was tremendous in opening up the athletes as this type of training was not in their regular routine. She went the extra mile and did her research to tailor the sessions to their sport so the athletes could put their newly learned techniques into action which had a huge benefit. You won't find very many that have the passion and spirit that Alicia brings. Your team or program won't be disappointed!"

"The week after I met you was great! I was feeling inspired and motivated to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle. I didn't put a lot of pressure on myself as I normally would have, and counted small wins as big successes which is a different approach for me.”

"I have started to be kinder to myself, and change my mentality so that I really recognize that this is a learning process, and a journey towards my professional success. I have also started to stress less about my career, and focus on all the other beautiful things in my life that bring me joy. Setting boundaries with my career and personal life has been very helpful.”

“Alicia was the highlight of our all-staff virtual retreat, and all my colleagues agree. Starting the day with Alicia, a guided meditation and introduction to mindfulness was well-worth the hour of staff time. As a team that has fully felt the impacts of the pandemic, is missing working with each other, yet deeply committed to our work in philanthropy, we benefited from the time to centre ourselves, breathe, and set intentions for ourselves. Alicia understands the practice, resilience and focus on wellbeing required to thrive in these times. Despite the virtual medium, and time zone differences, she facilitated with clarity, patience, warmth and expertise. We highly recommend Alicia!”

"Meditation Pusher, Alicia Mathlin, is magic! For six weeks, Alicia brought staff on a self-reflective journey of meditation and mindfulness. A practice that can feel daunting to many was instead an opportunity for reconnection and finding inner balance through Alicia's approach, compassion and humor. She creates an experience that anyone who is looking for mindfulness tools can easily adapt. If you are looking for a corporate wellness partner, do your team a favor and choose the Meditation Pusher!”
