Nature is my sweet meditation spot. It helps me find freedom in the stress of everyday life. I’m a writer, so when these everyday struggles begin to shake out of me, they come out as words. I’m an avid reader of mindfulness, meditation, emotional self-care and yoga philosophy. So my own words mix with the words of others, and a mindfulness talk and meditation is born. I’m also a yoga instructor, so each week I weave my mindfulness talk and meditation into the yoga classes that I teach.

I know you are here to loosen up some space for body AND mind. Read a mindfulness talk, do a creative meditation, and join me in finding a little bit of freedom!
