Testimonials
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, Chemistry Teacher, Lakewood Schools, 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."
-Denise Yassine, 5th-grade teacher Congressional School, VA
"Not only did meditation help me cope, I learned ways to share these tools with my students. Talk about a win-win situation! I highly recommend her classes for a modern approach to meditation."

Meet Berni.
"During my 25 years in education, I taught Biology, 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. With a master's degree in Biology, I bring a practical research-based approach.
You'll be surprised that meditation doesn’t take a lot of time or discipline in order for it to “work."
