​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.”

Alecia Vultaggio

“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!”

“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.”

What is Mindfulness?

The intention to be aware of whatever arises, in the present moment, without a lot of judgment: bring curiosity, friendliness, and self-compassion to your daily life.

Can Stress be Helpful?

 Stress occurs with any event that requires effort.
The key is to find the balance between a stimulating challenge, versus
feeling overwhelmed.

You Are Not What You Think

You are not just your
thoughts and feelings,
your role in life,
your current abilities,
or
your story.
