30 years of extensive research on mindfulness applications shows its effectiveness in treating illness, anxiety, stress and depression.

 

Mindfulness is wonderful in education because it:

increases attention span.

improves impulse control.

reduces stress.

builds community and empathy.

I have practiced mindfulness since 1992 and I have been a meditation instructor since 2005, leading groups and retreats for adults. Since I discovered Mindful Schools I am passionate about bringing mindfulness to a variety of youth in and outside of the school system.

I am the director of a growing network of outside-providers in our school district, the “Mindful Youth Project.” In addition to teaching children, I am also interested in expanding mindfulness trainings for teachers and parents.
