Dealing with Change Toolkit
Dealing with more change due to COVID?
Dealing with Change Toolkit combines mindfulness, meditation and the principles of the change journey.
The first to combine change management techniques with mindfulness, helping people through difficult change, mindfully.
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 2021, I celebrated 10 years leading workplace mindfulness and 7 years training and being in community with compassionate facilitators to bring mindfulness to others.
With deep gratitude, I am here to serve.

More people are practicing mindfulness year over year
I've seen a definite increase in the number of organizations all asking for the same thing:
"Our staff have been working so hard, they're stressed out and full of anxiety. They are burning out. We'd like to help our staff learn about mindfulness to help them cope."
Look at the increase in how many people already meditate when I speak to organizations.
