ABOUT MY MINDFULNESS JOURNEY

I began meditating in 2012 during a difficult relationship ending. Mindfulness supported me in this challenging time and helped me become more present in my life and connected to myself, others, and my inner resilience. Now almost nine years later, mindfulness has become the most valuable daily practice of my life, and has supported me over the years in everything from maintaining healthy sleep and eating patterns to developing self awareness and emotional intelligence. After several years of practicing, I also became a certified Mindfulness Teacher through Mindful Schools for children and teenagers. One of my greatest joys was teaching a year-long Mindfulness program at an international kindergarten and pre-school in Bangkok, Thailand in 2018. I am also a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through a program studying with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield to share the practices with adults, and a Certified SEL Facilitator and Certified Yoga Teacher through Breathe For Change.
