Mindfulness Teaching & Facilitation
“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment.”
-Jon Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness is about more than being aware – it is about the way we are aware and what we choose to do with this awareness. Mindfulness creates a space between a stimulus and our response, which can change the entire way we function.
The benefits of a mindfulness practice are countless and different for everyone. Science has shown those with a consistent mindfulness practice experience:
-
Decreased stress
-
Increased self-awareness
-
Enhanced focus
-
Self-compassion
-
Symptom management
My Mindfulness Journey
My own mindfulness practice has been deeply transformative. Incorporating formal mindful practice into my daily routine has become a much-needed source of centering and connection, grounding me as I go throughout my day. Maintaining an attitude of mindfulness informally throughout the day has supported me in:
-
Being more patient
-
Offering myself more kindness
-
Managing stress
-
Increased awareness of my emotional and mental state
-
Noticing what is going well

Who hires a health coach?Anyone can work with a health coach. If you are looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk about your life journey, schedule a time to chat to see if it’s the right fit.
-
What would a coaching session look like?Every coaching session is unique, but each session follows a similar structure. In an initial session, we would spend time exploring your values, health vision, and goals. In our regular session, we evaluate how you are progressing towards your goal, explore what is most important in the moment, and then collaboratively create new steps to move you closer to your optimal health vision.
-
What would I work on in health coaching?The focus of coaching is client-dependent. Once we evaluate where you are with your wellbeing and where you might like to be, you choose an area of focus for our time together. Examples of foci include improving sleep, reducing stress, setting boundaries at work, adding more movement, incorporating mindfulness, communicating more effectively, and beginning to meal plan.
-
How long do people typically work with a health coach?On average, I work with clients for 3-6 months. After the initial time commitment, there is an opportunity to decide if you would like to stop or continue with coaching.
-
How often would we meet?Sessions are every other week and last 35 to 50 minutes, depending on your individual needs.
-
How is health coaching different than therapy?The focus of therapy is diagnostic and identifying the cause of behavior. Health coaching is not diagnostic and is present and future-focused. Rather than seeking to identify the cause of behaviors, health coaching focuses on what behaviors you can control and change to live out your optimal health vision.
