Kickstart your mindfulness practice!
Perhaps you’ve tried mindfulness at work, taken a class,
listened to guided meditations, or even been to a mindfulness retreat.
You’re convinced of the benefits:
less reactivity,
increased calm, and
greater ease in your life.
And yet:
You have trouble being consistent in your practice
You doubt whether you're even capable of being mindful
When you try to meditate, you either space out, or
Your mind is all over the place!
You've lost that initial enthusiasm you had when you first got started.
If you’ve become discouraged about mindfulness, you’re definitely not alone!
I’ve worked with many people who felt that initial rush of enthusiasm for their practice, but then became doubtful about whether they could do it --
Perhaps you question whether you can ever make any real progress:
Without a clear sense of what you are doing, where you are going, or how to improve your ability to be more consistently present, aware, and mindful in your everyday life.
Imagine feeling calmer and less agitated:
What if you could deal with work, relationships
(and even getting stuck in traffic) with:
Less aggravation
Increased clarity, and
Greater ease and confidence in your life!
Let's kickstart your mindfulness practice with a free coaching session:
Create a clear vision for your practice
Identify hidden challenges
Relieve doubts
Tame your inner critic
Calm emotional reactivity, and
Rekindle your enthusiasm for work, love, and life!

“The best news is that I’ve been able to access this more positive mood in the weeks following my initial success! When negative thoughts and emotions threaten to come rushing back in, it’s very empowering to realize I can choose to feel better. Now I have a solid and reliable way to help me shift to a better mood.”

“Seething over a conflict, I mounted my bicycle trainer for catharsis. Twenty minutes into my sweat I remembered your suggestions . . . I quickly realized why I was so triggered, then felt calm and astoundingly clear. It was a triumph!”
Terry Baraldi
Pennsylvania
“It’s those simple things that I know how to do, but have forgotten in all the rushing about: taking a moment to breathe, practicing courtesy on the road or in the office, performing random acts of kindness, removing the judgmental lenses I didn’t even realize I’d put on.”

Soothing relief:
It wasn’t long after reading Rik Isensee’s practical tips to shift my mood that I tried a couple of his techniques. Sure enough, I was able to adjust my mood during a taxing meeting at work, and then again when I was getting impatient with my kids at home. I mentally put myself in the relaxed state that I feel when I listen to music on a sunny day in the backyard. That grumpy feeling I was so tired of just melted away.”
