Introducing Mindfulness
Course Overview: This introductory course provides a brief taste of mindfulness practice and theory for those new to the practice or returning after a break. Participants explore three core themes: training attention, learning new ways of being, and understanding the difference between responding and reacting to life's experiences.
Who It's For: Individuals looking for a structured but brief entry point into mindfulness.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Course Overview: MBCT is an evidence-based program that combines mindfulness meditation with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Designed primarily to prevent relapse in people with recurrent depression, the curriculum focuses on dissolving unhelpful habits like rumination and self-criticism, and understanding the patterns of depression. It teaches skills to step out of "automatic pilot," bring attention to the present moment, recognize and meet unhelpful patterns with care and kindness, navigate life's ups and downs with balance, while teaching skills to stabilize attention, be more fully in the present moment, and respond skillfully to distress.
Who It's For: This group course is specifically recommended for people who have a history of depression or are currently experiencing depression.
Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L)
Course Overview: Based on MBCT, this course combines ancient mindfulness wisdom with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help participants integrate mindfulness into daily life. It teaches skills to step out of "automatic pilot," bring attention to the present moment, recognize and meet unhelpful patterns with care and kindness, navigate life's ups and downs with balance, and cultivate a sense of appreciation and joy.
Who It's For: Individuals seeking a comprehensive, skills-based program to foster sustainable positive change and general well-being.
Finding Peace in a Frantic World
Course Overview: Based on MBCT and the bestselling book by Mark Williams and Danny Penman, this program offers a practical introduction to mindfulness. Participants learn to recognize patterns of reactivity, stabilize their attention, and improve their overall resilience to stress through shorter sessions and home practices.
Who It's For: This course is designed for busy adults, including professionals and students, who want a less intensive but highly structured introduction or refresher.
Interpersonal Mindfulness
Course Overview: This advanced program focuses on applying mindfulness to the complexity of human relationships through deep listening and emotional regulation. It utilizes the Insight Dialogue guidelines to help participants improve communication, reduce interpersonal conflict, and increase self-awareness while relating to others.
Who It's For: This course is exclusively for those who have already completed an 8-week MBSR, MBCT, or MBCT-L course and wish to deepen their practice in a relational context.
Empowered Relief
Course Overview: Empowered Relief is an evidence-based pain management intervention that provides individuals with essential pain relief skills and is delivered by certified clinicians. It includes cognitive-behavioral skills acquisition, mindfulness principles, and pain neuroscience education.
Who It's For: Individuals who are experiencing acute, chronic, or post-surgical pain.
Mindfulness-Based Supervision
I provide supervision for mindfulness teachers using established frameworks to support professional growth and adherence to global mindfulness teaching standards.
