ENJOY

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Smile. Enjoy. Relax. Laugh. Love. Celebrate.

Spending more time experiencing positive emotions is good for our physical and emotional health. The best part is that your body doesn’t know the difference if you genuinely feel like smiling or laughing or practicing self-compassion or if you’re simply going through the motions, you reap the same health benefits! As a successful educator, mindfulness and yoga instructor, and international trainer, I promise to engage, motivate, and inspire you during my workshops. You will gain insights and learn techniques that foster personal exploration and growth…. And you’ll have fun along the way!

Unconditional Positive Regard

Unconditional positive regard, a concept developed by the psychologist Carl Rogers, focuses on providing acceptance and support for people. Imagine how you might feel if you provided that acceptance and support for yourself and those close to you. By reframing experiences of frustration and criticism and transforming them into experiences focusing on our strengths and the strengths of others, leads to greater self-contentment and success.
