Hi, I’m Marcia – a Certified Unified Mindfulness Teacher/Trainer and Certified Yoga Teacher.


I started practicing yoga and meditation in my early 20s while living in Florida. I sat by the ocean on my straw beach mat and watched the clouds disappear over the ocean for hours.The impact of this practice was the beginning of a life long practice of meditation. I have over 8,000 hours of formal practice and 800 hours of intensive retreat practice as a Zen practitioner.

 

In 2008 while living on an island off the coast of Honduras I was diagnosed with a rare leukemia. I was told that I had less than a year to live if I did not have a stem cell transplant, which I successfully had. I believe that my yoga and meditation practices were instrumental in my survival and thriving after cancer treatment.

 

My inspiration to practice and teach mindfulness and yoga comes from a love of sharing. I love guiding meditation and love working with clients to incorporate mindfulness into their daily lives.
