What People Say

Happiness

Learning about the obstacles to being happy and being able to identify them when I am experiencing them has helped me feel more calm and peaceful. As a result, I am able to be present in the here and now rather than get carried away in the story or obstacle.

Marilynn Record

Somehow through the teachings and reinforcing the wisdom given in class I have been able to let go of the idea that I must suffer. I can see my reality in the moment and the ability to choose to not suffer which sometimes comes as a result of not wanting to see my reality and in my suffering my imaginings of the negative grow.

New Found Freedom

"Mindfulness has brought me a new level of calm!! Accepting what is. Bringing love and kindness to myself has given me a new found freedom." Randy S.

I have gathered profound insights and practical techniques to bring more awareness to my life, thank you Manijeh.

Kinder and Compassionate

My practice in Mindfulness at Perfectly Here has allowed me to develop a kinder and compassionate relation to myself and others, and has increased my ability to bring attention to my daily internal and external experiences. I feel less anxious and more gratitude and joy, as I am more able to see reality clearly and all the goodness that it offers.

With Manijeh’s Guidance: “I have become a far more effective leader and manager, as well as immeasurably better human being!”

Over the past few years, I have taken over eight classes with Manijeh, and in doing so; I have become a far more effective leader and manager, as well as immeasurably better human being. Manijeh’s practice bridges Mindfulness and professional coaching, and that combination of both the passion and the prose helped give me extraordinarily valuable insight and perspective in both my personal and professional life. Manijeh has a unique, magical, remarkable way about her. She cares very deeply and imparts knowledge and discipline with a gentle yet firm touch that’s both very enlightening and yet so practical. Manijeh skilfully inspires her students to challenge themselves and think deeper, and live presently and mindfully.

Holistic certified professional coach and master's student of MFT, with a focus on positive psychology and mindfulness.

It’s great to learn mindfulness from a teacher, Manijeh Motaghy, who lives and breathes it herself!

By working with Dr. Manijeh Motaghy, I have learned how to relate with myself, my inner life, others, and the world in a much more embodied, enriching, and joyful way. I have gained a greater understanding and deepened experiences through Manijeh's guided meditations, the relational environment she creates, elegant explanations of concepts, and disseminating powerful tools, practices, and resources. She teases out the most fundamental knowledge and wisdom so that it is tailored to the specific class she is teaching - to the effect of being highly resonant and impactful. It's great to learn mindfulness from a teacher who lives and breathes it herself! Manijeh embodies the qualities that arise from the practices she teaches - authenticity, openness, compassion, attunement, and integrity towards each student, the process, and the content within the curriculum. I strongly recommend learning and practicing alongside Manijeh at Perfectly Here to deepen understanding, acceptance, and applied knowledge, which is truly helpful in all life areas!
