Description

Returning to Yourself is a four-week live online group mindfulness course for people navigating demanding seasons of work, study, caregiving, leadership, transition, or uncertainty. We meet on Wednesdays, September 9, 16, 23, and 30, from 4:30–5:45 PM PT / 7:30–8:45 PM ET. We’ll explore foundational, adaptable mindfulness practices for noticing what is here, returning attention when it wanders, listening to the body with curiosity and care, meeting difficult moments with care, and finding steadiness around what matters.


What you'll get from this package

FOUNDATIONAL MINDFULNESS PRACTICES: Learn adaptable ways to return attention, listen to the body, meet difficulty with care, and find steadiness around what matters.

WORKABLE ATTENTION ANCHORS: Explore breath, sound, movement, visual awareness, physical contact, and other places for attention to rest and return.

PRACTICE RESOURCES: Receive optional Practice & Integration Companions and guided meditation recordings to revisit between sessions.

A PERSONAL PRACTICE MAP: Notice what supports you, what you may adapt, and what you may choose to leave.


Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

Primarily live, with light between-session resources. Sessions follow a consistent rhythm: arrival, brief teaching, guided mindfulness practice, private reflection, shared inquiry and closing integration. Between sessions, you’ll receive an optional Practice & Integration Companion and guided meditation recording. These are invitations to support practice—not assignments. There is no required homework, practice streak, or ongoing chat-based coaching.

Refund Policy

This is a fixed-date live group course, not 1:1 coaching. Missed sessions are not individually rescheduled. Before attending, participants will complete a brief RTY registration that includes the participation waiver and recording acknowledgment. Full sessions are recorded privately for facilitator learning and MMTCP practicum/certification review. Guided meditation segments may be shared with registered RTY participants as practice resources; teaching discussions and shared inquiry are not distributed as course recordings.

Wellness for High Achievers | Burnout Recovery & Personal Renewal

I specialize in helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, clarity, and purpose—without burning out. As a trauma-sensitive coach, mindfulness teacher-in-training, and National Board Candidate for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), I bring 20+ years of experience supporting behavior change during high-pressure transitions in elite academic and professional environments (MIT, Harvard, USC). I coach people navigating: • Burnout & “high-functioning” depletion • Chronic stress & nervous system dysregulation • Identity shifts (life-stage, health, career pivots) • Perfectionism, imposter syndrome & over-responsibility My approach is: • Evidence-based: Motivational Interviewing, behavior change science, and values-aligned planning. • Embodied & mindful: Tools from MBSR, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and somatic practices. • Ethical & trauma-aware: Scope-bound, risk-informed, and rooted in dignity and psychological safety. Clients work with me to reset patterns, build habits, and rediscover joy—not just push through. I offer calm, confidential, and culturally responsive space to align your external goals with internal healing. Note: This isn’t therapy—it’s strategic, supported behavior change with your wellness at the center.
