Meditation & Mindfulness for Caregivers

If you’re a caregiver, you’ve probably heard that you “need to put your own oxygen mask on first” when balancing caregiving responsibilities while trying to care for yourself. Easier said than done.

Carving out time for yourself while caring for others can often seem like a luxury but it’s actually essential for a healthy well-being.

In “Mindfulness and Meditation for Caregivers,” we talk about how to be mindful, what meditation is (and isn’t) and how to realistically weave meditation into your day. I also share three simple meditation techniques that you can call upon during stressful times, or anytime. A fun, mindful eating exercise is also included.

This workshop can be presented in-person or virtually for your group or organization. One-on-one sessions are also available.

Journaling Workshop:
Cultivating Emotional Resilience

“Thank you for changing me.” 

This is just one of the comments I received from a participant after she attended my journaling workshop on cultivating emotional resilience. (For more, see the Testimonials page.)  

In this introspective workshop, participants will:  

  • Discover the benefits of journaling

  • Learn what emotional resilience is, and how to cultivate a resilient spirit

  • Use simple journaling prompts to write about and move through a particular life experience. 

 (Sharing among participants is encouraged but not required.)

Other journaling topics/workshops can be tailored toward your group/organization. Workshops can be presented in-person or virtually. One-on-one sessions are also available.

I’ve also been published on health and wellness topics. Plus, I’ve got a knack for “reading the room,” and encouraging interactive discussions, even if this is the first time your group has come together.
