Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a well-respected program in the medical community for managing stress, pain, mood disorders and the challenges of daily life. Developed in 1979 by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts, MBSR complements traditional medical and psychological treatments.

I am a qualified teacher for the Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Program and a member of the Global Mindfulness Collaborative (in association with Brown University).

This eight-week online group program combines guided mindfulness meditation with practical learnings on stress, perception, and communication. All classes take place on Zoom (schedule below). You will learn to:

• Recognize and shift automatic stress reactions that contribute to burnout.
• Identify personal stressors and explore healthier coping strategies.
• Understand how stress impacts the body—and how mindfulness can interrupt the cycle.
• Use mindfulness to improve focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making.
• Practice mindful listening to enhance communication and relationships.
• Develop a personalized plan for integrating mindfulness into daily life.
   

MBSR offers practical tools to navigate stress with greater awareness, balance, and resilience. The supportive group setting facilitates your learning.
