The Heart Behind Presently Whole

I came to meditation because I needed to discover whether peace could exist within a life touched by violence. As a young adult, meditation became a place to return to myself, reconnect with hope, and gain clarity to make healthier choices. For more than 35 years, it has supported me through every aspect of my life.

To deepen my practice and guide others safely, I completed Gaja's 16-week Meditation & Mindfulness Instructor Certification. My training included mindfulness, mantra meditation, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed methods, preparing me to guide both individuals and groups in person and online.
