“Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is an intentional practice - practice being the key word here. With consistent moment to moment effort, mindfulness enriches all aspects of our inner and therefore outer experience.

Everyone, including children, benefit from mindfulness. Mindfulness is a highly self-loving choice! Cultivating a mindfulness practice anchors us in the moment and helps us to truly be present with our life as it unfolds. Overtime we feel more joyful, peaceful and free!

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

— Gandhi

“You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside”

― Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

A note for the Mommas ~

As momma of two I am especially passionate about sharing tools and practices to help you navigate motherhood and life with more peace, joy and connection. I offer 1 on 1 and group coaching to support you on your journey. Self-love is the foundation on which all else is built and my mission is to inspire you to love yourself more. My coaching is rooted in Zen practice and inspired by the work I did with my own teacher, Zen master Michiko Rolek. It was life changing and I thank my lucky stars that I had the opportunity to be her student. I am grateful to be able to share this with you!
