“Thank you, Katy for this wonderful, peaceful meditation practice - perfect for beginners and those with experience meditating. I love your easy to understand explanation of how meditation practice helps us exercise our mindfulness muscle - allowing us to bring it forward into our daily lives. And your voice is so soothing.

ABOUT ME
Thank you for being here. I look forward to sharing a mindfulness practice with you.
​
I am a certified Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor and a Mindful Schools Mindfulness Foundations graduate, bringing nearly two decades of experience in a variety of meditation practices. I've also earned certificates from Cornell’s Civic Ecology Lab and hold a BA from Dartmouth College and an MPA from New York University.
Personally, meditation has been a lifeboat that has allowed me to better weather life’s turbulent seasons, while also giving me a seat in which to appreciate the drifting clouds, the sun on my skin, and my children laughing.
​
As I’ve grown calmer, and stopped flailing around quite so much at the bottom of the lifeboat, I’ve been able to look around me a bit more and see our interconnected struggles and joys. I am committed to continuing to deepen my mindfulness practice, to working on myself and being intentional in my actions, with a particular commitment to working on social justice.
In addition to meditating, studying Buddhism, and worrying about climate change, I am lucky to have a loving and supportive husband, two amazing and growing daughters, and a very doggy dog. I grew up in the Midwest (Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan). I fill my bucket by running outdoors, especially on local trails, playing tennis with friends, reading (from the trashy to the deep), and trying to maintain a garden, although the weeds usually get the better of me.
