Testimonials

“I have a lot of quiet time. The problem with that is my mind can take me to heartache situations or frustrations or insecurities. When Arianne taught me to how to meditate…I felt calm and uplifted. Even when I don’t meditate for 15-20 minutes due to crazy schedule…I can do breathing & thinking my positive word and I feel calm and at peace. I thank Arianne for sharing her knowledge with me.”

“With Arianne’s instruction and guidance I started daily silent meditation 3 months ago and haven’t missed a day! The circumstances of my life haven’t changed, but I have. I’m dealing with my struggles from a power center of calm. I’m able to handle pressure and still show up for my family.

I’m so grateful that I learned this new way to access peace.”

“Taking time in the morning to meditate allows me to focus on the people around me later during the day. I can slow down to focus on what I really want in life instead of feeling jumbled and rushed.”

“Attending the Christ-centered meditation class with Arianne was one of the best things I did all year. It was worth every cent. It was simple, clear, honest, and most importantly, effective. I am more focused, more calm and mor successful in accomplishing my goals every day.”

“I am beyond grateful that I found Arianne and her very effective way of teaching silent meditation. (Small & Simple) Meditation has no interference from an outside guide and is personal and simple. It is life-changing! I live a very fast pace life, and it gets the best of me at times. When I do the silent meditation that Arianne has taught me, it is a lifesaver. I am at peace when I normally would feel stress and pressure. It is most effective when I do it consistently.”

“Arianne at Small & Simple is amazing! She gently & confidently explains mediation in a way that makes it…simple! I love my busy life but silent meditation was just what I needed to help me when things get crazy. After just one day of practicing simple meditation, I slept the whole night for the first time in a while. The next morning I woke up refreshed and excited to meditate again. My brain bounced around for 20 minutes but I did it!

I have been doing mindfulness meditation for years on and off when things get crazy. The difference of a short few weeks of daily sessions of silent meditation is remarkable, even with my scrambled egg thoughts interrupting my “peace”. I can’t wait to see what a difference it makes after months and years of regular practice!”

“I learned to meditate when I was much older in life. Arianne, who is like a daughter, shared it with me. At first I meditated here and there. Last year I meditated every morning as a regular routine. It takes practice to keep the mind open (no thoughts). I look forward to the meditation time. If I missed, it seemed that day didn’t go as well, So I stayed with it. As the school year went on (I teach Montessori pre-school) I found amazing things were happening to me. I was able to see new ideas, preparing the children for reading was happening faster and more fun.

I am more organized and ahead of schedule, more organized in my housekeeping and food preparation. I am so grateful to bring this practice into my life!!!”
