Services I Offer

Private meditation instruction. Mindfulness meditation is simple but not easy. The basic practice of bringing a kind and non-judging awareness to our own experience is straightforward. Yet each of us has strong habits, patterns and conditioning that can make it difficult to stay present with our experience moment to moment. Individual sessions with me give you the opportunity to develop the skills and practices that specifically work for you to develop a regular meditation practice and enhance mindfulness in your daily life.

Mindfulness counseling. Do you feel stressed out, stuck in a rut, or overwhelmed by the challenges of daily living? In these sessions, we engage in wise ways of working with these situations, using practices of mindfulness and compassion. In these sessions, you will build skills to bring mindfulness and greater peace to the challenges and stresses of your daily life.

Working with legacies of trauma through mindfulness and body-awareness. In these sessions we incorporate Somatic Experiencing, a mind-body approach to healing trauma, with basic mindfulness practices to help release the stored and unprocessed energies of past trauma. These sessions can help clear the way to greater ease and balance in your daily life.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) MBSR is an intensive 8-week course that offers powerful methods for reducing stress and teaching ways to actively participate in your health and well-being. The course is designed to transform your relationship to stress, improve your health, and enhance enjoyment of life. If you are dealing with illness, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or coping with grief or loss, the course provides beneficial tools to work skillfully with these situations and conditions. It is also well suited for those who seek to gain more balance and peace from the stresses and demands of work and daily life. The class meets weekly with an additional one-day retreat. Participants are given practices to do at home on a daily basis between class meetings to reinforce the concepts taught in class.

I co-teach the course with Rebecca Hines, and the course curriculum we use is modeled on the curriculum developed at Stress Reduction Clinic at the UMass Center for Mindfulness.

Mindfulness in the Workplace. Together with Rebecca Hines, I offer mindfulness meditation for stress reduction and wellness in the workplace. We offer a variety of services, including customized workshops, tailored to your organization’s needs.
