Mindfulness Offerings
Mindfulness is about cultivating moment-to-moment non-judging awareness. It teaches the skill of slowing down and tuning in to your mind, body, and emotions. As you learn to calm the nervous system, you are able to lean into your life exactly as it is in this moment. Mindfulness, and in-particular MBSR, has been researched most extensively and has been shown to be effective in coping with stress, decreases rumination, boosts working memory, increases focus, and reduces pain and anxiety. Individuals who regularly practice mindfulness report feeling more satisfied with life.

I have extensive experience teaching mindfulness to groups and individuals. When it's safe to gather together, I will resume teaching the 8-week MBSR program in person in Doylestown, PA. For now, I teach mindfulness and meditation virtually.
