MBCT Courses

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a research based course designed by leaders in the psychology field, including Jon Kabat-Zinn. It is an 8-wk structured course, with daily meditation homework, and a group meeting once per week in person or over video. Over the years MBCT has been aggressively researched to repeatedly show positive results for many stress-related disorders and diseases. Look below to see the areas researched and if they may apply to your current situation.

As detailed in this recent publication by researcher Stuart J. Eisendrath, learning and practicing the MBCT protocol trains the mind to let go of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and sensations by anchoring the mind in the present moment, with awareness, through a dedicated practice. This in turn stops the inner feeling of dis-ease and helps with many acute and chronic diseases.

Below you’ll find two courses that I teach (MBCT and MBCT-S) that are mindfulness-meditation based. Both MBCT and MBCT-S are 8-week long courses that also assist with stress-reduction, depression, and anxiety. Each week has a 2-hour gathering (in person and/or online) to teach and practice a mindfulness/meditation concept, then you continue it daily until we meet again for the next concept. After 8-weeks of training you will have new neurological patterns in place (the “muscle-memory”) to continue on your own with confidence. A 4-week “tuneup” course is also available for those who have completed the 8-week course.

These courses are held in person in downtown Duncan (next to the Garage). Please email for details and to be placed on the wait-list (kyle@mind-bodyhealth.ca). Please check back for more details.

What is your education and Qualifications?

My education is in the areas of mind, body, and spiritual areas. With a break in the middle to study fire sciences. The last area of spirituality has been my passion for the last eight years after becoming a psychologist.

I first studied the human sciences through Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. At that time I was involved in training and researching high level athletes at the University of Alberta. I later went to Scotland and undertook a MSc in Rehabilitation Sciences and upon graduation returned to Alberta to practice as a Physical Therapist in a sports rehab clinic. Early into my physical therapist years I was successful with my application to the Calgary Fire Department. I worked for CFD for 10 years mainly in Fire Suppression in the downtown core, but I also spend two years training and working as a Fire Safety Codes Officer and fire investigations After significant injuries I embarked on becoming a Psychologist and undertook another Masterss in Counselling Psychology. After graduation I completed a one-year residency and passed the board exams for Alberta and later British Columbia to practice as a Psychologist.
