Why Choose My Programs?

I didn’t come to mindfulness as a professional - I came as a participant.
Like many of you, I was looking for something that could actually help. I was managing chronic health challenges and living with the weight of anxiety and depression, searching for tools that felt real and sustainable.

What I found in MBSR changed my life.
Not just in the short term, but in ways that stayed with me long after the program ended. I witnessed the same transformation in the people around me.

That experience led me to become a Certified MBSR teacher through the Centre for Mindfulness Studies in Toronto, where I later taught. It took years of training, practice, and mentorship to get here - and I bring all of that depth to the spaces I now hold.

My approach is:
✔ Trauma-aware
✔ Spacious and grounding
✔ Rooted in compassion, evidence, and lived experience

Whether you're new to mindfulness or returning to it with intention, this is a place to pause, reconnect, and find what’s most needed in your life right now.
