There’s a before and after for me since taking this course. I learned many concepts; I learned how to identify them and how to change and/or cultivate them within myself. For me, as an introvert, it was a completely safe and welcoming space—a place among friends where I could share, talk, learn, feel supported, and, above all, get to know myself. Thank you, May! For all the love you’ve poured into every detail of this course—I highly recommend 100%.

It’s amazing to see that even though we have very different lives and circumstances and come from different backgrounds, we all feel understood, supported, and compassionate toward one another. If your intention was to make sure we didn’t feel alone, you succeeded 100%. Thank you, May! I’d never been very compassionate toward myself before, and I feel like after these sessions, I’m a different person. This course definitely came at just the right time for me!

I found this course splendid. From day one, I related to the examples; everything was very well explained, in addition to all the passion that May infuses into her content. It was very moving for me to embrace those examples and share our realities with the other participants. It unleashed many feelings in me, and I understood things I hadn't realized before. I am very grateful and excited for this new stage of my life, where not only will I understand myself more, but I will also treat myself better through my new acquisition: self-compassion.

From the very beginning, I felt a deep connection with the topic; it is something we all experience at some point. The way May explained each concept, with powerful examples, made it easier for me to understand and allowed me to relate to every idea. It has been an invaluable space to connect with other women; despite our differences, we found common ground that brought us together. The workbook is the perfect complement, serving as an additional support in this journey of continuous growth. Thank you, May, for creating this safe and transformative space. I recommend this course to anyone looking for a meaningful change in their life. Thank you for this unique experience!

It was a transformative experience. Before, I was very critical and hard on myself, which made me feel constantly inadequate. With others it was easy to be compassionate, but with myself, why not? After learning about self-compassion, my relationship with myself has changed; I treat myself with more kindness and I have made important decisions that I had been postponing to take care of my health. Sharing with women with different lives but very similar feelings was rewarding. I greatly value the understanding and support I found in this space. Thank you May for creating such a beautiful, healthy, and empowering space.

The course "From Self-Criticism to Self-Compassion" has allowed me to understand, through its structure, the origin of my thoughts and their impact on my well-being, both psychological and physical. May's approach to each topic stands out, as well as her willingness to answer questions and the sense of security she conveys to the group. The small groups facilitate interaction, understanding, and the consolidation of knowledge. I fully recommend this course; it has allowed me to realize that the experiences I face are not unique and that I am not alone in them.
