Cultivate Calm, Clarity, and Resilience —
One Moment at a Time

Stress is a natural part of life — how we relate to it makes all the difference.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a structured, evidence-based 8-week program that teaches practical mindfulness skills to help you respond more skillfully to stress, anxiety, and the challenges of everyday life. Through guided meditation, gentle movement, group reflection, and a half-day retreat, you’ll develop tools that support lasting well-being.

As a Qualified MBSR Instructor trained by Brown University, I’ll guide you through this immersive 8-week journey.
The program combines mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga, and group inquiry—helping you meet stress with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

No prior meditation experience is required.

What Is MBSR?

Originally developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR is one of the most widely researched mindfulness programs in the world. It is offered globally in hospitals, universities, wellness centers, and community settings.

This experiential course supports you in:

  • Becoming more aware of habitual stress reactions

  • Learning how to pause and respond with greater clarity

  • Cultivating presence, self-compassion, and resilience

  • Integrating mindfulness into daily life, work, and relationships

    MBSR is not about eliminating stress — it’s about changing your relationship to it.
