My Mission
To help others experience a more conscious, resilient and peaceful way of being through the learned practices of meditation, mindfulness and nervous system regulation.
How I Accomplish This
GROUP EVENTS
I lead events such as: guided meditations, sound baths, mindfulness walks, and mindfulness assemblies/workshops for schools, leadership teams, corporations and other organizations.
ONE-ON-ONE GUIDANCE
I coach individuals through their personal meditation journey, helping newbies learn how to meditate and providing seasoned meditators with fresh practices and tips.
DIGITAL MEDITATIONS AND COURSES
I offer free guided meditations on Soundcloud and through the meditation app, Insight Timer. Digital courses available soon.
My Core Values
Offer accessible and affordable services to a wide range of people groups.
Aware of the elitism often embedded in the wellness industry, I strive to make meditation, mindfulness and nervous system regulating practices accessible in both the public and private sectors. This includes working with populations not commonly targeted by the wellness industry, maintaining affordable prices, and including flexible pricing systems for many of my services in order to serve as many people as possible.
Only offer what I know through my own personal experience and knowledge.
Aware of the tendency in our culture to over-inflate and over-sell oneself in order to obtain more business, I only offer my clients what is in my wheelhouse of knowledge, personal experience and expertise. I am not a therapist, guru or lifecoach. Instead, I think of myself as a teacher, facilitator or guide.
Pay tribute to my teaching ancestors through acknowledgement and financial offerings.
Aware that I am not an island and have received my knowledge from teachers and traditions mostly stemming from people of color, I strive to acknowledge the roots of my practice whenever possible. I also give financially to organizations who have contributed to my practice and who align with my own values of spreading peace, mindfulness and equity in the world. Therefore, 10% of my net income is given annually to two organizations: plumvillage.org and urbanpeaceinstitute.org
