About Stacy

I bring nearly two decades of experience to teaching mindfulness, whether one-on-one or in a class setting, helping individuals develop greater stability, connection, and resilience.

I hold a Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. I am a certified mindfulness meditation teacher through the University of California, Berkeley’s two-year program, taught by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, and I subsequently undertook advanced Mindfulness Mentor training in the same tradition. I have completed a diversity of mind-body study, including somatic techniques and psychoneuroimmunology, informing my approach to health and healing. Finally, I undertook clinical training in evidence-based couples therapy through the renowned Gottman Institute. Although the entirety of this training influences my work, I do not provide psychotherapy, but rather teach mindfulness-based skills.

In addition to working with my international client base, I have led presentations and workshops on health and wellness for a wide range of audiences, including the United States House of Representatives, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and community-based organizations.

In conjunction with my training and extensive lived experience, I bring a strong sense of attunement and intuition to my work, allowing me to meet each person where they are in this moment, with precision, responsiveness, and deep compassion.

Outside of my work, I live a quiet life rooted in nature with my son and our menagerie of animals - an everyday rhythm that continues to shape the grounded way I understand healing, connection, and what it means to be human.
