For the past 22 years, I have offered group and private training in mindfulness and compassion-based programs. My focus has primarily been with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR was created by Jon Kabat-Zinn) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC was created by Chris Germer and Kristin Neff). I have trained, mentored and certified teachers of these courses, developed and managed teacher training courses, provided one-to-one coaching and support, and led silent meditation retreats.

The one constant about life is change, and as the world changes and the circumstances of my life evolve, I find myself entering a new a new phase of learning and exploring. I want to find new ways to share what I have learned over many years. I still love to teach — it is a source of great joy for me. I want to do more traveling and writing. Perhaps I will use this site to publish some of my thoughts. I hope that whatever I offer will be of benefit to others.
