Mindfulness means intentionally paying attention to what is present in the moment—thoughts, emotions, sensations—with acceptance and without judging. Often, just noticing what is real (rather than expected or assumed) can open up new ways of understanding, of acting, of speaking, that can propel people on a journey of increased joy and satisfaction, of less stress and reactivity. Mindfulness practice can involve both formal and informal meditation practices as well as movement and other non-meditative exercises. Increasing one's awareness and lowering one's resistance to the trials of life are two very important parts of the work I do with clients.

I have additional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli, Mindful Yoga Works with Dr. Jim Carson and Kimberly Carson, and Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation with Dr. James Davis.
