FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically begin with a free 20-minute clarity call, where we discuss your goals and intentions, and how I can be of service in helping you reach them. After that, sessions are $55/hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a free “clarity call” to establish a sense of rapport with one another, and understand your needs and what you can expect from me. Either during the clarity call or during the first session, I will recommend the most appropriate mindfulness practice for what you're working with. I will also coach you around achievable steps you can start working on right away to work toward your goal. Finding ways to merge mindful presence throughout your day is key! Communication and resources: I meet with most of my clients via video chat, such as Zoom or FaceTime. I also offer free audio recordings of either myself or other teachers leading guided meditations, ranging in length from 5 to 45 minutes. I've found this particularly helpful for those just starting out with mindfulness meditation.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been regularly practicing mindfulness meditation since 2011, when I attended my first 10-day silent meditation retreat in Kandy, Sri Lanka. I have since committed to at least a week or two of silent retreat every year, the longest ones being 45-days, 28-days, and also a 14-day solitary retreat. To date, I have completed over 5 months of silent retreat practice. In 2014, I became a student of meditation teacher and award-winning author, Lodro Rinzler. During this time I began leading meditation groups for school teachers seeking to relieve stress. In 2015, I was invited to teach at the Annual Educators’ Conference for the Association of American Schools in South America (AASSA). Over the next few years, I continued leading meditation groups and classes for teachers. In 2019, I completed a 350-hour mindfulness teacher certification program. That same year, I founded Mindful Moments, LLC, offering classes and one-on-one meditation instruction. From 2019 to 2020, I participated in a 9-month monastic residency at Gampo Abbey, a remote Buddhist monastery in Nova Scotia, Canada. After returning my monk robes, I moved back to Seattle, WA where I continue to offer mindfulness services. I am a student of Pema Chodron and Vince Horn.
