I know what it feels like to feel overwhelmed, struggle with anxiety and stress and be constantly on the go. Before stepping onto the mindfulness path in my twenties, I struggled to keep my head above water. There were days I felt as if I was drowning and couldn’t catch my breath. Maybe you can relate.

On a damp, chilly spring day in 1982, I was harried and rushing as I got on the elevator. Not present in the moment, I rushed off the elevator onto the wrong floor and nearly knocked over a doctor.  

He could feel my anxiety, hurriedness, and calmly asked me where I needed to be. He had such a peaceful presence. Instead of giving me instructions on how to get to my appointment, he walked me through the maze of hallways.

Little did I know that this man, Jon Kabat-Zinn, would put me on the path of mindfulness. I had no idea at the time that he was coaching me using what would become his signature MBSR system as we walked.

That Divinely guided encounter led to me training with Jon, becoming a Certified Mindfulness and Mindset Mentor and Meditation Teacher, and walking the path of mindfulness for over forty years.

I’ve since merged many other modalities including the powerful energies of crystals, oracle guidance, and soul work—to guide clients back to the truth of who they are.

Today, mindfulness and gratitude have reshaped my narrative from one of surviving to one of thriving.
