Welcome
Thank you for visiting. My website is here to share my practice of Reflective Meditation. I know from personal experience that it's hard to maintain a regular meditation practice, especially in the beginning. If you'd like personalized support and help with developing a meditation practice that works for you, I'm available for meditation support online and in person in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'd be happy to share what my practice is like and assist you in your practice.
I am associated with SatiSangha (Newbury Park, CA), Pine Street Sangha (Portland, OR), Vacaya Sisters (online), and Still Mountain Meditation Center (Ann Arbor, MI)
Would you like to discuss how Reflective Meditation can work for you? I would love to find out more about your meditation practice, why you are interested in meditation, and how I can help you expand and deepen your practice. If you want to get more out of meditation, I am here to help. Let’s get started!

Sweeping the Dust Away
