Starting a meditation practice can be super frustrating. I get it!
Your mind is all over the place and your body is not cooperating. Between body aches, leg cramps, itchy noses and a wandering mind how can anyone sit still?
Finding free time in your day is next to impossible. And forget about getting up earlier in the morning before everyone wakes up! A morning person you're not.
You have no idea if you are positioned properly. Do I sit, lay down, recline...? Where do I put my hands? Do I sit cross legged or should I have my feet on the floor?
You're overwhelmed by the many meditation choices available. You struggle with where to start. A meditation app, a YouTube channel or a book on the topic?
You can't find a quiet spot in your home. There is way too much noise from family, pets, neighbors and other external stimuli. Do I need a soundproof room?
You can't stop falling asleep when you meditate. As soon as you close your eyes your head starts bobbing up and down in an attempt to take an afternoon nap.

Why?
Why take this course when I can listen to meditations on YouTube or a mobile app?

What qualifies you to teach me meditation?
Twenty years ago, I embarked on my journey as a novice meditator so I empathize with the feelings of confusion, doubt, frustration and lack of clarity in starting and maintaining a meditation practice. I've been in your shoes!
It was not until I went on a 5 day meditation retreat 8 years ago did I finally learn the basics to get me moving in the right direction. My passion for meditation led me to a year long intensive program in 2017 which allowed me to take a deeper dive and ultimately receiving my certification from the Chopra Center.
Why should I learn to meditate?
Meditation is the simplest and most effective approach towards achieving genuine healing in both the mind and body. Extensive research has consistently demonstrated the profound connection between our mental and physical well-being. Engaging in meditation not only nurtures the mind, but also fosters simultaneous healing within the body.
