We are here to support

You!

Mindful Connections research assists students from various disciplines at post-graduate level. We offer guidance on any reasonable research-related task. As academics, we understand the isolating and frustrating journey research can create for students- especially when they feel unsupported. So, let us simplify research for you and help clarify certain concepts, feedback, and tasks.

In our professional capacity, we support students from all academic backgrounds in writing and producing a well-constructed and mindful research piece.

We also offer assistance with any reasonable problem a student might have regarding their research proposal or final dissertation.

Services may include:

  • Structural design of the research piece
  • Writing style
  • Chapter design
  • Reference formatting
  • Data methods and design
  • Constructing survey/interview itinerary
  • Ethics (application and compliance)
  • Statistical analysis
  • Qualitative analysis
  • Literature searches
  • Consulting supervisory notes and recommendations
  • Editing and proofreading
  • Individual consults

Important note:

Our services do not supersede the guidance of your institution/supervisor. Rather, we consult all notes and recommendations to construct a well thought out research report, together. Furthermore, our research consultants do not write or conduct research on any student’s behalf.

I just had a consultation with Lounette Els, from mindful connections, and it exceeded all of my expectations. She was so patient and helpful. She went out of her way to show me how to conceptualize my ideas and formulate a plan for me. She gave me amazing tips and tricks on how to go about my research. She read through all the documents I sent her prior to our meeting. She is very organized and professional. I HIGHLY recommend mindful connections and especially Lounette Els! She has become an integrate part of my support structure.

Excellent service you guys, keep up the good work. I appreciate your professionalism, efficiency and support you gave me irregardless of my tight deadlines on my research study, you came through for me. I strongly recommend their services not only for their efficiency on delivery but also on their preciseness to the very tiny detail. Best language Practitioner I would recommend to all researchers and scholars.

Excellent service! After working with Vuyo, I gained deeper insights in my academic writing abilities. It was something that caused me so much stress and anxiety, however, she assisted me whenever I needed her. To my surprise, I received two distinctions and one 70%! I could not have done it without them! Thank You!

I am currently busy with my proposal for my Ph.D, and Lounette has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional and she has certainly raised the standard of my work. Lounette works quickly and her feedback is very detailed, helpful, and her editing exceptional. She has made this process easier for me and I am grateful to her! I can 100% recommend her to any individual needing assistance.
