Frequently Asked Questions
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is such a buzz word these days. Many do not really know what it means when they hear it. In the context of MBSR, mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations with compassion and nonjudgement.
Do you provide online MBSR classes and Mindfulness Mentoring?
Yes! I provide phone or videoconferencing for individuals from all over the US.
I also provide in-person classes and sessions for those in the Denver CO area.
What if I can’t make each session of the 8-week MBSR course? Can I still take it?
Do I need experience in meditating to take the MBSR or Mindfulness-Based classes?
How many Career or Executive Coaching sessions will I need?
It varies for everyone. Factors include how often you come and what we are working on. The key thing to remember is that I require no contract. Let’s work together as long as you are seeing the benefit.
How long are your coaching sessions?
They are all one hour in length.
Does insurance cover any of your coaching services?
At this point it does not, however, most HSA programs will cover session expenses as wellness.
How often should we have you facilitate a workshop for our company?
It depends on your needs. You will have the option to have me come in on a one time basis or multi-session choice. Each of these workshops builds onto each other. So, I recommend 1x/month or 1x/quarter.
How is the best way to get you to come to my company to facilitate a workshop?
If you are not the Human Resources Manager of your company, that is normally the first contact person. Share with them my information, we’ll have a consultation and assess your company’s needs and we’ll go from there!
