I am a retired police officer with 35 years of experience as an investigator, tactical operator, trainer, and senior officer in charge of Intelligence operations at York Regional Police.

I strongly endorse this Stress Resilience program. It is a science based, subject matter expert developed program, provided via a reliable and private delivery platform. Critical incidents and prolonged stressful work environment issues have a tremendous negative impact on police personnel on a daily basis. Most Canadian police services provide resources for their members dealing with the aftermath of stress.

This Stress Resilience program provides a proactive stress inoculation for all policing personnel. It was developed for sworn and civilian members whether new to the profession or experienced. Police executives have a duty of care to their members which includes providing their members with tools of stress resilience. The Butterfly Cares Stress Resilience program addresses the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being so important to sustain the mental and physical health of all human beings. As said, I strongly endorse this program as I believe it provides valuable tools to keep policing personnel healthy so that in turn they can continue to serve their communities to keep them safe.

My AHA moment would be the Big 4. I have used it often and have used the approach to explain “MACRO” level to my family what it means for me. It has also confirmed assumptions for me in the sense that positive affirmation is very important.

Setting good personal and professional goals

Visualization

Self talk

Tactical breathing

It's a nice recipe for moving forward and when I know better, I do better. The other words that have intrigued me is how the brain and the heart are so significantly attached. I have since read a few books on mindfulness and I see the parallels in our discussions in regards to overall heart health. Meditation, in one way shape or another, is incredibly powerful and … difficult. To concentrate on your breath and not let your mind wonder is a skill. One I hope to continue to develop. The mind is a tricky thing and we need to pay attention to it's signals.

I found it very engaging, especially considering it is an online program. I like how you built in opportunities to participate despite it being recorded. Makes it feel interactive. You used some great examples, very relevant for most people. Your intimate knowledge and experience in the policing sector is very noticeable and adds credibility to the program.

As an organization, we were moving towards providing much more on-line learning prior to COVID. The pandemic shutdown simply sped things up for us. I think you did an excellent job transitioning to an on-line recorded platform here.

I believe having your screen visible over the presentation is critical to keep attention. Having been conditioned over the past 16 months with Zoom, even though it was a recording, I still watched your window.

When I added up the modules, I think it is 5 ¼ hours, which is close to what a typical training day for us would be for in-person training. No doubt doing this in-class would take longer due to breaks, side conversations, Q&A's.

By doing it on-line and jumping on and off all the time, it seemed way longer. Your knowledge of Policing added great value and credibility to your program and I would definitely support it. (In our side conversation, the amount of required training for the officers can be overwhelming. We would like to avoid the potential for anyone to press play and walk away). The best way to deliver a program like this is to have the whole team, the platoon come in together on a day off (with a day off granted in lieu) where they can complete the program together. Do the exercises together, discuss together, that way they have continued support from their peers and team mates moving forward well after the training event is completed.)

Paula has helped me to reconnect to my true self. She has helped me tremendously with stress management through Stress Resilience teachings. Paula provided deep insights to who I am as a non ego entity. Her extensive expertise has paved the path for me to grow not only spiritually but as a person in every avenue of my life.

I am extremely grateful for her help and guidance. I would highly recommend Paula to all of my friends and family without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your stress resilience course and teachings. I have found it absolutely pivotal to my development. Before the course, I was irritable, fearful and stressed. After the course, when a difficult situation arose, I handled it with perseverance and ease. I implement my training and feel calm, able and rational instead of resorting to an emotional response. I have opened my heart and mind and now have the confidence to deal with anything that comes my way! These techniques have been instrumental in dealing with life's many stressful situations. Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend everyone take this course! If you are willing to dedicate yourself to executing this in your everyday life, you cannot help but notice many positive changes.

I met Paula as the host of a Lee Carroll Kryon event. After a number of conversations, I choose to work with Paula as she took me through her course and it helped me immensely open up my Heart and heal some things from the past. It helped me feel the energy working through my body and opened up my Intuition and inner technology even more. This provided me with ways that I can help myself to become far more calm and check in with myself whenever I am feeling a little off. Paula taught me how to get quickly back to centered and calm. I highly recommend working with Paula.

I am a very anxious person naturally, always putting myself last and overthinking/over analyzing every situation to the point it leaves me drained and exhausted. I am a university graduate and soon to be Doctor (hopefully) and a lot of the stress I felt was a result of negative thoughts and factoring in other people's negativity that did not belong to me.

I was hesitant to begin the course because I thought my anxiety was just part of who I was and could only be fixed through medication. However, I tried it anyways and it was the best thing I could have possibly ever done. I went from using three different medications daily and I am happy to say that I am now using zero.

Paula was very welcoming and kind and I am so thankful I have had the opportunity to complete this course with her. She elicits a calm welcoming air, free of judgement and full of understanding. If you have an opportunity to complete this course with her, I strongly suggest to give it a try. Thank you for everything Paula, you are the best!
