MINDFULNESS AND SELF COMPASSION BASED GROUps

Backed by Science, celebrated by clients, these groups lead to connection and lasting change

SELF COmpassion, a superpower that leads to lasting change

As a trained teacher from the Center for Mindful Self Compassion, a group facilitator with over 12 years of experience, and a lifelong meditator, I can firmly attest to the benefits of group mindfulness and self compassion training. Over the years, I have offered such groups for those struggling with their mental health, intimacy concerns (i.e. individuals with low sexual desire, women with vulvodynia, men post prostate cancer treatment, couples with desire descrepancy), attachment challenges. I have also modifed protocols to suit the needs of BIPOC, neurodivergent, and 2SLGBTQIA+ Communities. I must say that running these groups and being inspired by those who attend them is one of my favorite parts of my job.

Over the years, after hearing of workplace challenges, I brought my skill set to developing self compassion groups for healthcare, universities, and corporate environments. Here I was able to offer experiental tools that helped workplaces decrease burnout, increase cohesion and innovation, and tackle implicit bias.
