Teaching “Professional MBSR Teacher Training Programs,” including MBSR Teacher Training Intensives and providing MBSR Teacher Mentorship for current and future MBSR teachers like you, is my dedicated focus of work in this beloved field. My strong passion for facilitating and mentoring the insightful teachings found within MBSR and Mindfulness-Based Interventions now continues to unfold on an international scale in holding Online MBSR Training programs and one-on-one online MBSR Mentorship sessions for MBSR teachers around the world.
My journey for supporting Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Teachers through MBSR Training and MBSR Mentorship began in 1993 when I first participated in an MBSR program. With decades of experience and growth within the field of Mindfulness-Based programs, I have been teaching MBSR, and providing MBSR Teacher Training and mentoring extensively for groups and individuals in health care, university, Veteran Health Administration (VHA), and a wide variety of other community and online settings.
Joining the UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness as Founding Managing Director in 2011, I began to contribute to the co-creation and evolution of our Mindfulness-Based Professional Training Institute (MBPTI) and MBSR Teacher Certification program. Presently continuing as an MBSR Mentor for the MBPTI.
