" I learned how to bring meditation into my classroom one minute at a time. My students’ reaction was so positive. Now, this daily minute opens and closes our time together and they never let me forget!"

"The meditation session was fantastic. I was able to let go and relax and had the best night of sleep I’ve had in a long time."
- Suzanne McClung, Lakewood School District, Denver, CO
"Tears welled up in my eyes the first time I said "I give myself permission to rest." What a concept for educators. We aren't use to putting ourselves at the top of any lists."

Certified Meditation Coach & Former Biology Teacher
Cape May County, NJ
During my 25 years in education, I taught science, coached several sports, served as an advisor, and even lived in a boarding school dorm. After a period of severe grief and health issues, I discovered meditation as a tool to help me be at my very best, both professionally and personally.
I learned how to reverse the very real and devastating impact of stress through simple and easy techniques. And then I started sharing these strategies with my students.
Now, as a certified meditation instructor, I am passionate about helping teachers to restore and sustain balance in life, starting with getting over the guilt of taking a rest.
I'll share the best quick-hitting practices to help you reduce stress and overwhelm. You'll be surprised that meditation doesn’t take a lot of time or discipline in order for it to “work." See you in class!
