About the host
Mindfulness, Compassion, Positive Psychology are my great passions in live and sharing these practices is an honor. I work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Mindfulness Educator. I am a trained Teacher in Mindful Self-Compassion out of UC SanDiego's Center for Mindfulness. I have a passion for supporting people who find themselves on the margins of society on their journey from birth to death, with a focus on people living with disability, chronic and terminal illness. I have been with CCI from its beginnings. It is an honor to work with such a compassionate organization.
