Milestone celebrations!
In 2010, my life was a messy blur when I was diagnosed with cancer.
Mindfulness and meditation became a solid foundation for dealing with... well, everything in my life. The ups, downs and sideways.
In 2023, I celebrate 12 years leading workplace mindfulness and 9 years training and being in community with compassionate facilitators to bring mindfulness to others.
With deep gratitude, I am here to serve.
