In India, I spend time in Rishikesh studying classic Hindu meditation practices. In Pune, I studied mindfulness and meditation. In Madras, I studied with Maharaji and learned the secrets and discipline of daily meditation. I then spent a month following a Sadhu (nomadic Indian holy man and sage) as he traveled through India giving sermons and teaching meditation to villagers and India’s poor. After India, I traveled to Northern Thailand to study in Chiangmai in a renowned monastery devoted to Vipassana Meditation. In China and Japan, I traveled extensively studying Buddhism and Zen meditation and spent many hours in Zazen practice.
Upon returning to the United States, I continued working as an Assistant Public Defender and meditating every day. I began to teach. For over 30 years, my zeal for Meditation has seeped out into my professional and personal life as I have taught clients, friends and family to meditate while using calming breathing techniques during stressful moments. I became a Life Coach in order to help people discover and practice the Meditation and Mindful Living lifestyle in a broader, more "Wholistic" way. In our coaching together, I use Meditative Techniques and Mindful Living Strategies in a practical way to enhance your Awareness and help you achieve and live a more peaceful and harmonious life.
A devotion to spreading the joys of meditation and its teachings has been a large part of my life. I formally began teaching meditation 20 years ago and began my Life Coaching Practice 5 years ago. I have worked with busy professionals and businesspeople, nervous and harried mothers, the elderly and dying, stressed teenagers and almost every demographic imaginable. Meditation has deepened, enriched, and expanded my life and I would be honored to share it with you.
