My mindfulness training and practice has been transformational. I would like to share these gifts with teachers as well as non-profit and health services organizations. My passion is to pass on mindfulness to the next generation and to be of service to our community. My journey to mindfulness started many years ago when I was a young working mother. I needed something to help me stay calm and parent my children in a loving, purposeful, and balanced way. I attended workshops, retreats and summer family retreats. I gained skills and learned about meditation and mindfulness. The family retreat staff modeled mindfulness with calm and grounded interacted with the children. And, the older children, having absorbed the skills and knowledge over a few summers, interacted with the community in a mindful way. Over the next 25 years, I attended workshops and retreats and built a deep foundation of mindfulness knowledge and practice.
