I love connecting with participants in my interactive workshops, keynotes, and Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute programs, inspiring mindfulness at home, at work, and in our community through my personal story and practical skill-building tools.
Why Damselwings?
My personal journey has taken me from being a Type A, stressed out international economist, screaming mom, and breast cancer survivor to a meditation-touting creative entrepreneur and certified mindfulness teacher.
What I hear most frequently from my clients is that my experience is their experience, that my story and down-to-earth approach inspire even the most skeptical to give mindfulness practice a try. My book Blooming into Mindfulness: How the Universe Used a Garden, Cancer, and Carpools to Teach Me that Calm Is the New Happy chronicles how present moment awareness transformed my life. The book sparked requests for speaking and training, with the path leading eventually to Search Inside Yourself, the mindfulness-based emotional intelligence curriculum born at Google and based on neuroscience. After a rigorous, year-long teacher training program, I am honored to add SIY Certified Teacher to my credentials.
Participants in all of my programs will be skillfully guided through interactive programs that combine mindfulness, neuroscience, meditation, and practical strategies for generating calm, clarity, well-being, and joy.
Here’s a taste of the energy I bring to a room from a breakout session I facilitated for the Women’s Center 33rd Annual Leadership Conference in Tysons, Virginia.
