FAQ

1) What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is nothing more than paying attention to the present moment. But this is easier said than done! Most of the time we’re either thinking about the past or the future; rarely are we attune to what we’re doing now. Our thoughts can spiral out of control, distracting us from life’s meaningful moments and leading us to waste valuable energy. A mindfulness practice allows us the space to check into the present moment, to manage our thoughts, and to notice our body and mind. In doing so, we increase clarity, decrease anxiety, and reground.

2) What’s a typical session look like?

In any given session, we cater to your specific needs. We’re both skilled in mindfulness techniques, meditation, visualizations, and affirmations; however, various techniques resonate differently with each person. Some students may enjoy body based or breath work, whereas others prefer more communicative or creative techniques.

3) Who is mindfulness for?

It’s for everyone. We’ve done sessions with students in middle school and high school, parents, individuals dealing with chronic pain, and individuals in a variety of professions, including law and finance. The tools we teach are universal. In fact, we use our own techniques daily to maintain our sanity!

If you are a parent, you may join your child for a session or do a session on your own. We have fun and accessible techniques for children as young as four and five.

4) Why is this service important?

There is so much pressure on us to achieve, to succeed, and to “do it all.” This can wear on our mind and body. We may feel tired often, be unable to sleep, hold tension in our body, or have trouble concentrating. Mindfulness sessions provides practical tools that one can utilize at any point during the day to create a sense of calm amidst the chaos.

5) Is there homework?

No. That being said, you should feel free to practice the techniques throughout the week and experiment with them to see their effects.

6) How many sessions do you recommend?

It’s really up to you. Our sessions should not be an added stress or obligation. However, there is no quick fix. Training the mind is a process, and we’d be happy to accompany you through this journey.

7) When can we schedule you?

We do sessions during the day or after work/school. We can accommodate your schedule and meet you at a convenient location.

8) How much does it cost?

We want mindfulness to be accessible to all and offer sessions based on a sliding scale. If you are a school or corporation, please contact us for more information.

9) Do you do speaking engagements?

We do. We do workshops for schools, businesses, after school programs, or sports teams. We’d be happy to speak at any of your engagements.
