As a Rn, I spent the first 10 years of my now 20 year career trying to figure a way out. Having become a nurse as a second career at age 35, I found it hard to start over again.
When I stumbled across MBSR, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction in 2004 I was full of life and focus again. At last I could combine my interest and practice of meditation since 1977 with real life via MBSR. I was now abel to come out of the closet as a meditator with mainstream backing from the Center for Mindfulness, founded by Jon Kabat Zinn. Since then, by taking baby steps, I offer 5-8 full 8 week MBSR programs a year in the Seattle area, as well as CE and CME to health care professionals. Beginning in spring I will be teaching MBSR at Evergreen Hosptial in Kirkland WA and was fortunate to have been a MBSR consultant and facilitator for a 6 month medical pilot study on weight and health managment with great results for 24 employees of Grange Insurance Company in Seattle.
I welcome correspondance and collaboration with other health care professionals as a way to find relief from the suffering we also encounter as the provider and the witness. We must be able to nourish ourselves in order to do what we initially desired so much to do; medicine, health care, healing, wellness and collaboration. I feel revived in finding MBSR as the missing link in my personal and professional life.
Thank you,
