Diane became hooked to meditation over thirty years ago when she experienced her first Vipassana meditation retreat. Diane loves to share the many benefits of meditation with her students in hopes that they may grow their own unique, individual practice. Diane is both a long time meditator and teacher of psychology and experiential education. She is certified through the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. https://mmtcp.soundstrue.com and is a certified teacher of the Befriending Your Body curriculum, a program aimed at making greater peace with food, body and self BFYB Program She also draws from her practice of the Chinese moving meditation forms of Qi Gong and T’ai Chi in her teaching.
The beauty of Mindfulness Meditation is that it is portable and flexible. It can be done anywhere and may be done comfortably from a chair. It’s important to experience several approaches to meditation to learn what works best for each person. As students develop a sustained meditation practice over time, they start to see the benefits of meditation in their day-to-day but also can use these Mindfulness Meditation tools more readily when they experience increased life stress. Having regularly visited India since 1997, Diane is committed to situate these medication practices in their rich histories and cultures.

Engaging in Mind Therapy, which often includes practices such as counseling, psychotherapy, or mindfulness, can offer a range of benefits for mental health and overall well-being.
Your gentle and kind nature is excellently suited for this type of teaching. Your open heart makes the content you are presenting just flow like a gentle stream. It is so apparent that you are living in the very space you teach about, and your authenticity allows the students to absorb the lesson even more. You always gave us ample opportunity for questions and make sure we understand the lesson. It was wonderful, expansive for my meditation practice and so much fun.
This class was very well-balanced. I felt like it was a really nice mix of teaching, practice and Q & A. ... I took this class not actually expecting to like meditation or to be able to do it and have finished the eight classes wanting to continue to learn and practice. I saw differences in how I was approaching difficult situations and felt I was managing emotions and reactions better, hyperfocusing on things less, and feeling calmer in situations in which I would normally have been quite stressed.
You have a calming, open, nonjudgmental presence that invites people to feel welcome in whatever state they come in. Also, the sessions were ery well structured, with a great mix of teachings, experiential and sharing among participants.
Diane is a very patient and methodical teacher. She walks you through in great detail and when needed, other practices are provided. It was a pleasure taking this course on meditation and I look forward to the class on Loving Kindness as well.
You are knowledgeable, have a calm demeanor and voice and are able to fully discuss the subject matter. I found the recap and examples very helpful. You are very open to feedback and make everyone feel welcome and free to provide input.
