A typical meditation session starts with a review of your recent meditative experience and relevant daily life experience. We might monitor progress towards your goal and address any obstacles that came up. I then offer a new or deeper technique with explanations and a guided practice. We then go through questions, might further adjust the practice for you, and discuss future practice goals, if any.

I offer a range of methods drawn from both the ancient traditions I was trained in and modern evidence-based tools from psychology and neuroscience. When working with clients we select together techniques best suited to their background, goals, affinity, contemplative experience, and strengths. I teach meditation in a secular framework which respects and can integrate your personal beliefs and practice. Read more about my influences here.

We sometimes think that meditation best fits people with certain personalities and lifestyles, but my experience has shown me it is accessible to everyone. Experienced meditators have included contemplatives and driven individuals, yoga practitioners and CrossFit athletes, extroverts and introverts, hermits and lovers of communal life.

The one trait that these people share is their interest and curiosity for working with their minds, and an experience or intuition for how much our minds affect our experience of life.

The best way to know whether meditation works for you is to try a few approaches and techniques. I would also invite you to discover what your meditation experience might look like by taking the research-based meditation questionnaire I developed.

No, you will benefit whether or not you have already meditated. The guidance I offer is personalized and will be adjusted to your goals and your experience.

No. I offer guidance in a secular context, so it is accessible to all. People with and without spiritual or religious practices have connected with it and have benefited.

No. I am not a licensed therapist.

I am trained in internal family systems, an evidence-based therapeutic modality, and help my clients progress on their path to inner exploration and change. You can read more about this work here. This excludes topics that require medical attention, such as psychological challenges that negatively interfere with day-to-day functioning.

Studies show that for typical daily practice, meditation does not lead to adverse experiences in most meditators. With advanced practice for long periods, such as intense meditation retreats, adverse experiences might occur and can be prevented, monitored, and addressed by adjusting techniques to each meditator’s experience. If you are currently following a mental health treatment and are interested in starting a meditation practice, consider discussing this possibility with your healthcare provider.

Most people who have started a meditation practice have found they are more focused, more composed, respond better to stress, and experience more positive emotions.

Research also shows that meditation has proven benefits such as increased stress resiliency, increased compassion and connection with others, enhanced ability to focus, and reduced disruptive thoughts. It also enhances physical health markers, for instance reducing inflammation response to stress and increasing protective activity in cells. Research also indicates that meditation can be beneficial when associated with medical support in the management of pain, anxiety, addictions, and some mood disorders. Meditation cannot however replace treatment from a healthcare provider.
