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)
Kickstart Your Practice
I’m a big believer in meditation and that almost anyone can have a regular meditation practice. I’m offering a dedicated time to discuss your meditation practice. At the end, you’ll have a plan of action on how to proceed.
Here are some possible topics for discussion on your Zoom call:
- Develop a strategy to deal with emotional distress in meditation.
- Uncover what’s stopping you from establishing a regular practice.
- Develop a plan for strengthening your meditation.
- Find ways to deal with common experiences such as restlessness, boredom, worry, or drowsiness.
- Find a way to incorporate self-compassion, kindness, and other positive qualities into your meditation and your life.
I can help you uncover what prevents you from a well-established, deeply satisfying meditation practice.
If progress has stalled, here’s a way to get recharged.

Beliefs, Perceptions, and Caring
I’ve just celebrated my 2nd anniversary with a new man in my life whom I met online. Being in a relationship again meant I had to make adjustments after years of living alone. My early conditioning urged me to be independent, take care of myself, not to depend on others and to…
Becoming Familiar With Our Minds
I want to talk about why it’s so important to become familiar with our own minds and our own experience. All of our teachers talk about this, but why? Many years ago when I was first starting meditation, when I was practicing in the Vipassana model, I would try to…
Safe Places or Safe Spaces in Meditation
A safe space is a place that provides assistance to people in need. When we need a safe space in meditation we’re so caught in our dukkha we can’t find a way to be with it.
Uncertainty and Freedom
We’re hardwired to fear the unknown. But there is another side to uncertainty: the possibilities that open to us. They can hold growth, new ideas, potential. There is freedom in not knowing; a chance to be curious.
