An exploration of mindfulness and mindful self care, offering space where we are SIMPLY FREE TO BE.
MINDFULNESS: Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, with compassion and without judgement.
MINDFUL SELF CARE: Mindful self-care means pausing and tuning in to what your body, mind, and spirit need in this moment. It involves noticing the effect a specific self-care method has on your nervous system and being open to exploring new practices while mindfully observing how your body, mind, and spirit respond. This approach to self-care differs from consumerism. MINDFUL self care incorporates daily routines, rituals and practices while also exploring community support and resources.

Navigating the path to holistic well-being can be complex, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support designed to meet you where you are and guide you forward. My offerings include a diverse range of classes tailored to enhance various aspects of self-care, from mindfulness and meditation to gentle movement and creative expression. These classes are crafted to empower you with practical tools and knowledge that you can integrate into your daily life.
Beyond structured learning, I foster a playful and supportive community through regular events.

Whether it’s a wellness workshop, a communal gathering, or a themed discussion, these events are designed to build strong connections and shared understanding.
ABOUT ME:
I’m Mary Megan, a Certified Mindfulness Instructor (CMI) through Mindful Schools’ 350-hour certification program, completed in 2021. I’m also a certified elementary and middle school teacher and am currently completing my 250-hour yoga teacher training at Prairie Yoga.
I spend my free time reading, cycling through the woods, and hosting intimate gatherings for loved ones. Among my favorite activities are family game nights, supporting local theater, music and the arts, strength training, practicing yoga, and drinking coffee or tea. My golden retriever and I are active volunteers with the PAWsitive pet therapy program, visiting schools and libraries in our community. Family life and life in general regularly present me with *opportunities* to practice mindfulness. I am eternally a work-in-progress, forever a student, and grateful for the lessons I am learning.
I enjoy serving as a guide to both youth and adults as they playfully explore how their nervous systems respond to mindfulness and mindful self-care. My goal is to foster a sense of presence and mindful awareness, creating a supportive space where individuals can embark on and deepen their personal mindfulness journeys.
I would love to help you explore how mindfulness and mindful self care can help you connect with yourself, with others, with this moment, and with Spirit.
