Host a custom workshop at your company, school, or in your home – in San Luis Obispo county, CA, or anywhere via Zoom. For adults and for youth.  NOTE – As of August 2022 I returned to full time work in schools and am only available weekends or summer for any custom Workshops. 

By setting the intention to practice mindfulness and kindfulness in our daily living, we plant the seeds for positive habits to transform our inner peace and happiness. As a result, each one of us is positively contributing to a thriving, resilient, compassionate and peaceful world beginning within ourselves, and positively impacting our relationships at home, school, and in our communities.

My experience includes presenting to teachers, high school students, corporate level work environments, a variety of community organizations, as well as public speaking for service organizations and 3 national conferences.

The word university is derived from the Latin word universus, meaning “whole, entire.” Mindful Kindful YOUniversity is the study of YOU and your whole-being: your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, behaviors, patterns, and how to respond to life moment to moment in a healthy, balanced, and positive way at home, at school, at work, and in our communities.

Well-being is a skill and all skills require practice!  Your well-being is the most important education you will ever receive! Learn, practice, and grow skillfully with us! 

No one should feel alone or unskilled when life feels overwhelming at home, work, or school!

Together we can choose a well-being topic related to mindfulness, resilience, and self-care that will be customized to the needs and interests of your organization/group — or attend any of our scheduled public events. These topics are designed to positively impact participants both personally and professionally (or academically). Topics include (but are not limited to):

• • explore how to change your relationship to stress and preventing burnout (what is stress, how does it impact you and those around you?);
  • explore the what, the why’s (wise), and the how of mindfulness; (and learn what it isn’t);
  • explore the keys to resilience through self-care;
  • learn how to improve focus raise peak performance (improve personal or work productivity and creativity)
  • and more!
