I had the honor of presenting to a group of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner/Mental Health Counseling students, faculty and staff with Prof. Doug Guiffrida, PhD (University of Rochester) this week.

Everyone in this relatively large group was fully engaged in the 20 minute practice I led...shows how much it's truly needed and how they will bring these practices into the work they do as students, clinicians, counselors and leaders...

One student put a Mindful Matters sticker on his phone (pictured below.) He does mindful practices with his daughter and was excited to share some new skills with her.

Reminder for today (and every Monday) at 12:00 pm (EST)

After completing my Level II BodyBreathMind teaching certification last fall, I offered a 4-week pilot class with a group of 15 participants and asked them for honest feedback.

Here's what one of them shared, "Laura has a calm, clear flow in regards to directing participants and regularly checks in to gauge comfort levels. Laura is also open to feedback on how to make this immersive experience more personal for each participant."

I'm now offering a regular 30-minute practice for others to experience this extraordinary practice. Same day, same time, same zoom link every Monday from 12-12:30 pm (EST).
No prior experience is necessary and this simple gentle practice is accessible to all.

Details below and the zoom link is in the comments.

This is not to say we hide from or ignore "the things..." We need to pause sometimes & regulate our nervous system.

Peace.

Life has definitely been taking a lot out of us these days...learning Mindful Body/Breath/Mind skills really does help.

From a current client, "Laura creates a safe, comfortable space for her clients for every session. There's a level of realness and empathy that makes it easier for her to guide you through the right guided-mediation (made by her) to leave feeling better than when you walked in."
