Did you know that I am a meditation teacher on a meditation app? Learn how to empower yourself in between sessions with meditations I've created.
During my first few years as a therapist, I worked at a mindfulness-based healing center in Thailand, where I sometimes led meditations. After returning from Thailand, I knew that I wanted to keep teaching meditation and saw how helpful it was for my clients. Also, I have always had a creative spark, and making meditations is a way that I can use my creative passion to make resources that are helpful for people around the world. At the time of this writing, my meditations have been played over 30,000 times!
