I am a mindfulness and meditation trainer, not a doctor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor. While my mindfulness-based stress management training is designed to support your well-being, I strongly recommend seeking medical, psychological, or psychotherapeutic support for significant emotional or psychological concerns. My service does not replace medical, psychological, or psychotherapeutic treatment.
