Meet Your Guide

I’ve been meditating for 20 years, so I’ve learned what works to quiet my very active mind and my overachieving, perfectionist tendencies.

See my longer bio here.

I’m writing a book called Meditation for Overachievers, Perfectionists, and Busy Brains. If you’d like to get a feel for the book and more info about meditation, read this excerpt: Why do all our thoughts come to the surface when we meditate?

What do you mean by Busy Brain? WIll this help with ADHD?

I use the term “Busy Brain” to represent those of us who:

have trouble NOT being busy
may be an overachiever or perfectionist
notice a lot of thoughts when we try to meditate – those could be creative ideas, memories, plans, or simply thinking about the to-do list.

This course is not designed as a therapy or treatment for those with ADHD, although mindfulness and meditation can be helpful strategies.

I am an absolute beginner. Will this work for me?

No experience required! Yes, this is for you.
