An Innovative Approach to Mindfulness Coaching
Transformation Happens in Real Life & Relationships
Let’s Meet One on One
where the magic happens
My teaching draws from tools found in our many wisdom traditions and rests in the experience that we are all connected. I have extensive training in Trauma Informed Insight and Mindfulness Meditation practices which are based in the view that we are able to free ourselves from needless suffering. As we begin our work together we will use the foundations of mindfulness as a framework for understanding and the cultivation of wisdom:
1) Noticing and sensing the body 2) Learning how to skillfully think 3) Working with emotions 4) Exploring the relationship to what is really happening in life.
This systemic training centers us in present-moment awareness, allowing us to make change with greater choice, clarity and love.
I will help you craft a personal, integrated plan. Since ultimately there’s no separation between contemplative exploration and daily life, your plan may include physical practice, creative expression, and/or study. Our work together includes:
Guided personal meditations and individualized weekly practice
Support in navigating difficult periods
Exploring how the psychological self expresses and interfaces with the universal
Goal planning, motivation, and feedback on your process and progress
Mind training and loving kindness cultivation
Exploration of your relationships as opportunities for growth and wisdom
Addressing all levels of your being, including the body
Individual Sessions are for people of all ages and backgrounds that are aiming for consistent connection and insight. Meditation can increase your ability to navigate everything arising in your life: moment to moment, with a steady mind and whole heart. This is easier said than done!
People who work with me report:
Greater understanding of their minds, self-talk, and personality patterns
Increased understanding and implementation of compassionate self care
More presence throughout the day and freedom of choice
New ways to work with anger as a source of passion, not destruction
Objective reflection of themselves through our relationship
Increased sense of intuition and healthy boundaries
