Two paths for coaching
Coaching after MBSR
Post-MBSR support for graduates of the 8-week program. We'll work together to sustain the momentum of the course, troubleshoot challenges in your daily practice, and deepen your understanding of mindfulness principles.
An individual mindfulness program
A structured, personalized introduction to mindfulness for those who prefer one-on-one learning over a group setting.
Over 8–10 sessions, we'll cover the foundational practices of mindfulness meditation, tailored specifically to your goals, learning style, and schedule.
The foundations of mindfulness
In our coaching sessions, we'll explore and cultivate the nine foundational attitudes of mindfulness practice.
Non-judging
Taking the stance of an impartial witness to your own experience.
Trust
Developing a basic trust in yourself and your feelings.
Letting Go
Releasing our attachment to certain thoughts, feelings or outcomes.
Patience
Understanding that things must unfold in their own time.
Non-striving
Backing off from trying to achieve a specific result.
Gratitude
Bringing awareness to the blessings of the present moment.
Beginner's Mind
Seeing things as if for the first time, free from expectations.
Acceptance
Seeing things as they actually are in the present moment.
Generosity
Giving time, energy, and attention to yourself and others.
What to expect
Coaching sessions are 60 minutes and are $150 per session, offered online across BC. In-person coaching in Nanaimo coming soon.
A note on coaching
Mindfulness coaching is an educational service focused on building and deepening your meditation practice. It is not counselling or psychotherapy. If you're looking for therapeutic support, please visit the Counselling page — and if you're not sure which is the right fit, the free consultation is a great place to start.
