My Journey to Mindfulness

My path to becoming a mindfulness coach began during a particularly challenging period in my corporate career. Despite professional success, I felt disconnected and overwhelmed by the constant demands of modern life. This led me to explore meditation and mindfulness practices as a way to find balance and meaning.

What started as personal healing became a profound calling to help others. I spent years studying with renowned teachers in both Western psychological traditions and Eastern contemplative practices, earning certifications in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC).

Today, I blend evidence-based mindfulness techniques with holistic wellness approaches to help individuals create sustainable changes in their lives. My mission is to make these transformative practices accessible and practical for everyone, regardless of their background or experience level.

My Approach to Wellness

I believe that true wellness emerges when we cultivate awareness, compassion, and connection—with ourselves, others, and the natural world around us.

Mindful Awareness

Developing present-moment awareness that allows us to respond rather than react to life's challenges with clarity and wisdom.

Self-Compassion

Learning to treat ourselves with the same kindness we would offer a good friend, especially during difficult times.

Holistic Integration

Addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through practices that support sustainable wellness and growth.
