Praxis

My approach to sharing mindfulness practices is informed by the mix of experience I developed in the Plum Village tradition founded by the venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects, and Shinzen Young’s Unified Mindfulness, to name a few.
​
I have coached groups and individuals in mindfulness practices since 2014 and always relish the opportunity to develop individualized coaching programs to address the unique needs of the client. I facilitate in a diverse range of settings & organizations from church groups, non-profit organizations, to corporations. My clients have included Fortune 50 companies, various universities and colleges, and non-profit organizations.
​
I am experienced in working with individual clients who have complex backgrounds including:

• Cancer

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Anxiety

• Post-Concussion Syndrome

• Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

• Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, C-PTSD)

• Tinnitus

 
I obtained my Certified Mindfulness Facilitator training at the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center where I am also an authorized teacher in the Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) modality. I hold a CMT-P designation from the International Mindfulness Teachers Association. I am also Teacher/Trainer in Unified Mindfulness and trainee in Hologenic Breathwork. I have trained in Christian, Buddhist, and secular mindfulness practices and am able to create new and fresh approaches to mindfulness practices.
