Mindfulness helps you be your own best friend—a low key, less reactive friend—when you are anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed.

Merle Bombardieri brings you a sense of well-being by teaching you phrases and practices that she adapts to your needs and personality. She starts you with brief, relatively easy exercises such as following your breath for just a few minutes and listening to sounds in your environment (birds chirping, radiators pinging) or walking mindfully.

If you are restless or tend to be on the move, Merle will show you how to walk mindfully and to reach a meditative state in sports, knitting, or other activities.

Your most powerful new life skill

Once you have a foundation in mental calm, Merle teaches you how to use mindfulness to be more observant and less reactive when anger, fear, or anxiety arises. You will be able to problem-solve and communicate to resolve the situation.

It is a heady feeling to discover that you can skillfully handle emotions and situations which made you feel out of control in the past. These new skills free you to take risks and tackle transitions with courage.
