“I am not a guru. I am a fellow traveler who has walked this path.”

A Legacy of Healing

Since 2007, I have been teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) after training directly at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the birthplace of this program.

At 76 years old, I view this work not as a business, but as a legacy. I have combined the rigorous, clinical standards of the original MBSR curriculum with a gentle, “kindness-first” approach. My goal is simple: to help you set down the heavy burden of anxiety and return to the peace that already exists within you.

Reclaiming Your Life from Anxiety & Low Mood

Most people try to “fight” their anxiety. But fighting often just adds tension. In this training, we use “Pure Mind” techniques and Positive Self-Talk to change your relationship with these feelings.

For Anxiety

Learn to spot the “Spiral of Panic” in the body before it hijacks your mind, using grounding tools to find safety instantly.

For Low Mood

Break the cycle of rumination (repetitive negative thinking) by learning to witness thoughts without becoming them.

For Chronic Pain

Decouple the raw physical sensation from the emotional suffering that we usually add on top of it.

“I came for the certificate, but I stayed for the healing. The focus on ‘kind self-talk’ changed how I treat myself entirely.” — Sarah J., Student

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the “Real” MBSR curriculum?

Yes. This curriculum is modeled faithfully on the program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at UMass Medical School. It includes the Body Scan, Sitting Meditation, Yoga, and Inquiry practices.

Can I work at my own pace?

Absolutely. While the traditional program is 8 weeks, you have **Lifetime Access**. You can take 8 weeks or 8 months. There is no deadline to finish.

Will this help with severe anxiety?

MBSR is evidence-based to assist with anxiety reduction. However, it is an educational program, not a replacement for professional therapy. It works beautifully alongside professional care.

How do I get the Certificate?

Our system automatically tracks your progress. Once you mark all lessons as complete and pass the gentle review quizzes, your personalized Certificate of Completion is generated instantly for download.
