As Publishers Weekly has stated: “In The Gift of Presence … Caroline Welch … sets out to distill reams of peer-reviewed science about mindfulness into plain, clear advice.”
Welch and The Gift of Presence have been featured on O, The Oprah Magazine, Mind Body Green, Maria Shriver’s The Sunday Paper, Being Well Podcast, The Brain Warriors Way Podcast, and Quantam Way, among others.
