My professional life has taken me through an unusually wide range of experiences. I have a master’s degree in Integrated Marketing and a background that spans technology startups, international education, communications, wine education, teaching, writing and even leading horseback rides through Sonoma vineyards. Throughout those very different careers, one thing has remained constant: I love helping people learn, experience something new and see things from a different perspective.
I’ve taught people about wine, trained teams, led educational experiences, developed communications programs and worked with people from many different backgrounds. Those experiences have taught me that people don’t all learn, connect or find calm in the same way.
Practicing mindfulness should reflect that.
My approach is practical and fits into any calendar, no matter how busy you are. Instead of asking everyone to practice mindfulness the same way, I help people discover ways to become more present that actually fit who they are and how they live.
Sometimes that might be meditation. Sometimes it might be movement, nature, animals, reading, sensory experiences, sports or simply paying closer attention to something you normally rush through.
The goal isn’t to become perfect at mindfulness. It’s to spend a little more of your life here and now.
