What’s it like to work with a mindfulness coach?
It’s a little bit like having a personal trainer —
but for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Mindfulness is a form of inner training that develops skills
such as awareness, concentration, clarity, and inner balance.
These capacities help you find relief and fulfillment.
They offer insight into the habits that compound stress, help you master new skills
and allow you to meet life’s challenges with greater resilience.
Mindfulness also helps you connect more deeply
with yourself and others, bringing more presence, kindness and joy
to your daily life.
How I Work:
I tailor one-on-one 60-minute sessions to your needs and goals,
helping you begin or deepen a meditation practice
and apply mindfulness in daily life.
My approach includes:
- Attuned listening, reflection, and gentle, deepening questions
- Meditation instruction, guided practice, and practice debriefs
- Mindfulness techniques tailored to your needs and intentions
- Support for applying mindfulness to work, relationships,
health challenges, such as cancer, and everyday life
What I Bring:
I work with clients from all walks of life and all over the world,
drawing on more than 25 years of meditation practice, teaching, and coaching.
I also draw on lived experience – applying mindfulness
in professional settings, parenting and cancer treatment, and recovery.
I understand firsthand how mindfulness can support people in navigating stress, uncertainty, and life-changing circumstances. I also have a keen understanding of how mindfulness can deepen fulfillment, meaning and joy in daily life.
Mindfulness coaching may be right for you if you:
- Experience stress or anxiety from work, caregiving, or daily life
- Struggle at times with emotional overwhelm, worry, or rumination
- Are navigating a cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery, or chronic pain
- Want more focus, clarity, steadiness, fulfillment,
or meaning in daily life
You don’t need any prior meditation experience to begin.
What Clients Experience:
After a few sessions, clients typically feel:
- More grounded and emotionally balanced
- Less reactive to stress
- Better equipped to handle life’s challenges
- More connected to themselves and others
- Confident in their ability to practice mindfulness independently

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical session like?
Sessions are 60 minutes, held virtually or by phone.
They often include:
- Deep listening and reflection
- Systematic, skill-based meditation instruction
- Guided practice
- Practice debriefs

How often do we meet?
Most clients begin with a four- to six-session package

After that, some continue weekly,
others biweekly or monthly —
depending on their goals and needs.
What’s your background?
I’ve been either practicing, teaching, and coaching mindfulness
for 25 years.

and a graduate of Unified Mindfulness’ year-long
Compass coaching program.
I’m also trained in the Inner Kids methodology,
Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management,
and Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery.
Before teaching and coaching full-time,
I worked as a journalist writing for Forbes
and other publications.

Do you work with cancer patients?
Yes. As a breast cancer survivor who applied mindfulness
throughout treatment and recovery,
I understand the unique challenges of having cancer.
The medical community, including the American Society for Clinical Oncology,
now recommends mindfulness as an evidence-based complement to cancer care.
I’m also trained in Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery.
What if I’ve tried meditation before and felt like I can’t do it?
I can help you find an approach that works for you.
You don’t need to meditate for hours or sit perfectly still
to receive the benefits of practice.
There are many ways to apply meditative techniques
and mindful perspectives in daily life to help you meet stress with more ease and clarity and find greater fulfillment — and even joy.
How is mindfulness coaching different from therapy?
Mindfulness coaching helps you develop internal resources
and specific skills that support your goals
and build sustainable habits for well-being.
Unlike therapy, mindfulness coaching
doesn’t delve into diagnostic history
or treat clinical mental health concerns.
However, coaching and therapy complement each other beautifully,
and many of my clients work with both.
