EDUCATOR:

I have been an education consultant in the field of Behavioral Medicine/Mindfulness Education for over 20 years. As the director of the Education Initiative at the Mind/Body Medical Institute (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School) for seven years (now the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital). I trained hundreds of educators and students from pre-kindergarten through college (in urban, suburban, public and private schools). Currently, I focus on the Greater Boston region, running programs that provide effective interventions for decreasing stress and its symptoms while improving self regulation, attention, focus, executive function, communication, and increasing the capacity for personal, professional, academic, and interpersonal success. I work with schools pre-kindergarten through high school.
