I started meditating in 2007 because I was a mess. I was amazed at how much better my life got once I developed a daily practice. In 2014 I completed my Master's in Education, and continue as a doctoral candidate, researching habit formation, specifically for people learning how to meditate. During the course of my research I worked with new meditators to help them increase their ability to meditate daily and benefit from a life of less stress and more joy.
I look forward to sharing what I learned with you.
Warmly,
