Hi.

I’m Dorit.

I’m a certified mindfulness teacher, having completed Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, and I love what I do.

I've been meditating 15+ years, and continue to experience new benefits. That’s part of the joy of this practice, there’s no final destination! Mindfulness and being mindful, helps us celebrate and tolerate our lives as they unfold. And teaching mindfulness, especially in our current global climate, is a calling for me.

I’d been practicing meditation on my own for a few years when I signed up for an 8-week MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) class hosted at a local geriatric hospital. I was the youngest participant by 40-50 yrs.

Within the first few weeks every participant (many of whom received palliative care, or endured chronic pain) noted remarkable benefits, and when the course concluded they each shared that they’d wished they’d found this invaluable tool sooner!

That was all I needed to hear to set myself on a path towards consistent practice, and later certification and teaching.

Mindfulness has been with me every step of my personal and professional journey, supporting me through medical treatments, professional challenges, grief, and growth. I look forward to helping you bring this tool in step with your own journey, and meeting you where you are.
