    Hi Everyone,
    I am a dentist in East Lansing, Michigan. I also consult for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and do a little speaking on the side. My studies in MBSR started at the Duke Integrative Medical Center with the review of Kabat-Zinn’s book, “Full Catastrophe Living” and that led to a certification in MBSR for healthcare professionals. I am so thankful to have entered into the mindfulness realm because dentistry is very stressful for a number of reasons. I look forward to learning more! Thank you for forming this group and hosting the webinars.

    My name is Maryalice and I am a Nurse Executive in a healthcare system. I started my own mindfulness practice after my adult son had an accident with a traumatic brain injury. As I was researching the benefits of mindfulness practices on the brain for him, I realized mindfulness could help me deal with the grief and helplessness I was experiencing as a mother. Now I don’t know what I would do without a daily practice. I consider myself a novice, demonstrating even a little can go a long way! I love all of these resources and hope to bring more into our workplace.

    Hi everyone! My name is Gina, and I currently work as a Health Coach for women in Healthcare. I help them eat better and manage their stress so they can start their journey towards a healthy and fulfilling life. I’m also a Pharmacist but not currently practicing Pharmacy. I myself discovered the concept of mindfulness a few years ago when my own health was declining and found myself in a career I was not feeling in alignment with. It changed my life, and now I not only practice it but spread the word about it and help my clients discover and practice it themselves. I never get tired of hearing about this topic and learning more and more each time.

    Hi I’m Laura, I’m a Nation Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. When I first started to struggle with debilitating health challenges, it was a more mindful and root cause approach to my healthcare that made all the difference. Now as we face this pandemic I’m finding it so important to rely on this approach. Without this practice everything can feel so overwhelming and beyond control. Thank you for putting this together!

Through the years I have practiced with wonderful results and I’m hoping to build my skills and move forward with helping our youth move forward in the new world!

  43. Katrina Stephenson May 25, 2020 at 6:01 am - Reply

    I am a nurse Edmonton Canada. I work in the speciality of mental health and substance specializing in harm reduction. I have been in the front lines of the opioid crisis up here. Before the Covid 19 I was off on disability with workplace trauma stress injuries. PTSD, anxiety, depression. I am still at home, home schooling my kids and supporting my husband working frontline. He is a firefighter.
    I have been meditating daily and have found immeasurable benefits along with EMDR, TMS and cbt and other trauma processing. I have not found any benefits with medication though meditation for me has been better than any pill for supporting self regulation.
    Although not working yet I am looking and in the midst of developing a peer to peer support program. It is needed more than ever.

    Hello 🙂 I’m a support worker. I’m hoping to cultivate some self-compassion through using mindfulness. I did the 8 week mindfulness course at Bangor Mindfulness Centre in North Wales and have meditated independently for around 12 years. I find I forget to be kind to myself. I’m looking forward to reminding myself to do this. Also, I’d like to say thank you for all you do in your different roles. Warmly, Rhian

    I’ve been practicing for 29 years. I’ve not felt so useless than now.

    • Rhian May 24, 2020 at 4:08 pm - Reply

      Hi Stephanie, hope you’re ok. I’m struggling at the moment too and really hope this will be a big support.
      I’ve been practicing for around 12 years. I sometimes think, everything should be all sorted in my life now through my meditation, but I’ve kind of let that go for the time being because it just upsets me and frustrates me when life doesn’t seem manageable.
      I’ve also gotten into habits sometimes with meditation where I’ve been suppressing. I kept away from sitting meditation for sometime because of this. I think the key is kindness and I’m hoping to cultivate this and some self-compassion. Really hoping this will be a big support to us both. Warmly, Rhian
