My Story
I became interested in mindfulness while working in an alternative school with at-risk youth. There I developed a passion for mindfulness and meditation because of the positive transformations I experienced personally and observed in these youth. Since 2012, I have taught mindfulness to individual and groups in order to help people discover a greater sense of ease and peace of mind. I teaches Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and provides mindfulness trainings to mental health professionals, schools, and businesses interested in improving well-being. Jude has completed extensive training on MBSR, attended a variety of professional mindfulness trainings, and participated in several silent retreats. Practicing mindfulness is an integral part of his daily life as this practice has been found to be personally nourishing and essential to teaching mindfulness in an authentic manner.
I am passionate about helping those who long for peace of mind, yet feel buried under stress, uncertainty, indecisiveness or dread. With mindfulness people discover that seeking perfection stunts our growth and that embracing our imperfections with compassion allows us to learn, grow and heal.
Through mindfulness based interventions, I have watched the quality of lives improve for people dealing with common stressors to severe symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and trauma.
Mission: To teach mindfulness in a way that inspires people to cultivate compassion for themselves and others. To provide training and education that improves well-being and reduces the negative impact of stress, pain, and illness.
