“the cultivation of mindfulness, involving acceptance and nonjudgment of present-moment experience, often results in transformative health behavior change”

Mindfulness and Behavior Change. Harvard review of psychiatry

Are you a health coach with a mindfulness practice? Would you like to share some easy mindfulness strategies with your clients?

Perhaps you're a health coach that hasn't added mindfulness to your self-care yet, but wants to learn more about it? Either way, this free class is a great way to learn more about how to use mindfulness to help our clients get better results.

Would starting your sessions off with a few minutes of mindfulness allow your client to deeply focus on what they want to get out of coaching? 

The first few sessions with a client can be nerve wracking. Would starting your sessions off with a few minutes of mindfulness allow you as a coach to be more grounded in the present moment and improve your ability to mirror your client and provide active and reflective listening?

You'll never know unless you try. Take the class, try the interventions with your clients, and share your results with us!
