Mindfulness-Based Interventions
We feel at our ‘best’ when we are aware of ourselves, including the habits and stressors that can keep us stuck. Mindfulness helps us tap our innate awareness, confidence, and resilience in meeting day to day challenges. Molly trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with founder Jon Kabat-Zinn as well as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). She offers multi-week and introductory programs for the public and organizations.
