About Joan & Testimonials

Growing up in a medical family, health and wellness were an important part of my life. I have studied meditation and mindfulness for over a decade, with some of the greatest teachers in the field. In 2018, I became a teacher of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. For the last 12 years, I have served as a Board Member for the Community Health Resource Center at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC)—Sutter Health in San Francisco, California. Joan is currently studying to receive another Mindfulness Mediation teaching credential.

“Joan’s command of the subject area, experience, as well as her knowledge and passion around health issues makes her a phenomenal teacher especially for the doubters of meditations effectiveness. Combine the knowledge with Joan’s kind and gentle encouragement and every student made significant progress. “ (September 2020)

“Joan- I love your super energy, kindness and support with your students. If I didn’t love this about you before, I really especially do now. Thank you for all that you do in this Insecure time “ (September 2020)
