Mindfulness to Support Us in the Overwelm:
Whatever name we attach to it: anger, fear, grief, sadness...it's important for us to move this stuck energy through our bodies so it doesn't take over our lives. In this one hour workshop, we'll learn basic mindfulness and somatic experiencing techniques to support our emotional bodies during these turbulent times. No experience is needed, please come as you are.

During this time, she also facilitated a mindfulness and cognitive-based therapy intervention on Riker's Island from 2009-2011, a partnership between New York University and the National Institute of Health.
