We have more agency than we realize. What we think, do, and say impacts our brain and body, and thus our life.

I founded Mindful Stress Management to help people in organizations change their relationship to stress, enabling them to navigate life with more clarity, resilience, and ease.

This means helping people grow beyond their technical skills to acquire personal & interpersonal skills so they can thrive and make a difference.

I have practiced stress management skills - including mindfulness, breath work, yoga, psychotherapy - throughout most of my life.

I have practiced meditation since I was a shy, anxious teenager. My older brother took me to a Transcendental Meditation course. It catapulted me into a lifelong journey of mindfulness practice and training. I also lived in Japan for 5 years where I practiced Zen Meditation.

I have decades of experience leading teams in the corporate world. I've been able to apply stress management practices and strategies in very challenging work environments. I understand the demands in organizations, and I get that time is limited, so people need micro-strategies to easily incorporate into their day.

I have delivered custom corporate stress management programs for 100s of organizations including NASA, McKinsey Consulting, San Francisco Bar Association, Livermore Lab, as well as Universities and Municipal Organizations across the US. I keep it relevant and applicable as I know people's time is precious!

In addition to earning a Master's Degree in Adult Education, I am a Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Instructor from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Center for Mindfulness, and a Certified Stress Mastery Educator from the American Institute of Stress with Dr. Heidi Hanna.

I welcome the opportunity to support your journey to more mindful living, transforming stress to success!
