You're Worth It!


Gifting yourself with this course is a way to grow self-compassion and self-love. It’s a gift that says, you are worth it. Your well-being is important, your body, mind AND brain are important, and strengthening an inner tone of warmth and friendliness is important. 

Give yourself the gift of “you’re worth it” and join me.

If you think you know enough about meditation - think again. This class was an amazing experience, and really shifted my perceptive on what it means to meditate. A wonderful supplement for anyone who uses any meditation practice.

Frequently asked questions

If you don't find all of your questions answered here, don't hesitate to send me an email.

Do I have to attend every class?

Classes will be recorded so you can watch at your convenience if you have to miss a class. That said, part of what makes this course special is the community aspect. Being with the group plays its own magical part in your experience.

I'm spending so much time online these days. Outside of class, how much time will I actually be at my computer?

Very little! You'll have access to a course page with class recordings and resources but you don't have to use it. It is more so that you can refer back to the teachings when you want to support your practice or be reminded of particular concepts. You do not have to use this resource if it doesn't feel supportive.

I've never practiced meditation. Can I do this?

Absolutely. This course is for the beginning student as well as the seasoned practitioner.

How much time do I need to set aside each day?

I recommend 10-20 minutes per day for guided meditations and a few pauses built into your day to check in. I'll also offer journal prompts to help you integrate what you are noticing in your practices. 

I'm a mental health/wellness professional. Will this course give me new skills to support my students and clients?

YES! You will definitely learn skills and techniques to help your clients integrate mindfulness practices into the therapeutic process. If you'd like to talk about how this course might fit with your professional development needs, send me an email. Adding-on a professional mentoring component to this course may be a great option for you.

Is there any additional support available if I need individual support?

Yes! You are welcome to email me with questions throughout the course. If it would be helpful to set up a quick phone or video call, that's fine too. If you find you need additional individual support, you can purchase discounted yoga therapy sessions.

I believe all beings deserve to feel safe and connected and I am dedicated to that end. I believe it’s important to be explicit about what we care about. I take my roles as facilitator, teacher, and mentor to heart and I recognize that doing this work requires trust. Please know that self-empowerment, equality, community and reciprocity are the foundation of what I’m offering. Visit my values page to learn more.
