Private Sessions

Meeting you where you are in your practice

Exploring the mind can be very difficult on your own; there are numerous pitfalls and traps that too many meditators succumb to. Having an experienced teacher to guide you can keep you on track, identify blindspots more quickly, and challenge you to go deeper than you might go on your own.

Guidance

Helping you to establish a daily meditation practice and provide you with tips and techniques to improve your meditation skills.

Feedback

Helping to identify areas where you might be struggling and provide you with feedback on how to improve your practice.

Personalization

Working together to identify your goals and help you develop a practice that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

Accountability

Knowing that you have someone to report back to can motivate you to make meditation a regular part of your daily routine.

How Does it Work?

If you are in La Ventana, Mexico we can meet in person, in my home. If you are not in the area, we meet over Zoom.

Typically a session is one hour long.

I do not come to our sessions with any agenda. It is all based on where you are and where you want to go.

This could be a challenge – beginning your meditation practice, integrating your practice into daily life and your relationships, or how to go deeper in your practice to see the nature of non-duality.

While some sessions seem a bit like therapy, the difference is that I’m not a *therapist, and that we are applying Buddhist wisdom and compassion as your guide.

For whatever challenge you are having, there is a wisdom or compassion teaching that can help you become unstuck by seeing things more clearly, as they really are.

As you gain a greater understanding of the world and yourself through the lens of wisdom and compassion, you naturally begin to let go of old patterns and habits that weren’t serving you any longer. And in there place new ways of seeing the world that trust the ego less and the peace of the present moment more.

Everything we are doing rests on a foundation of wisdom and compassion.

This is a path of insight – I am here to guide you on your path but you are the one walking it.

*Sometimes those dealing with trauma and/or deep seated emotional issues come to spirituality as a way to bypass dealing with their issues. This is not advised and even has a name, “Spiritual Bypassing.” These types of issues should always be worked through with a qualified therapist. While I do consult privately with people that are working with a therapist, you are also welcome to join my free weekly dharma talks (Sunday Sangha), as you continue working with a therapist.

Testimonials

Meredith has given me skills and different thought processes that have greatly improved my life. She has been a trusted and compassionate teacher that I know I can count on. I highly recommend her and thank her for all her wonderful insight.

With Meredith, I gained more than meditation; she is a coach for the mind. She introduced me to practical techniques to not let the inner voice of self-doubt hinder progress. I have gained focus, become more organized, and more productive. Meredith gave me the tools to renew my mind on a daily basis so that I can bring my best self forward every day on my path to success.

Since starting meditation training with Meredith, I’ve experienced significant improvements in both my personal & professional lives. Letting go of irrational fears and operating instead with a calm, focused mind has had an undeniable effect on my interactions with clients, friends and family. Meredith has the unique ability to tailor the training to the individual, and presents each technique along with the science & statistics behind it. I can’t recommend Meredith highly enough to anyone considering meditation to advance their career and improve their relationships & personal well-being

Working with Meredith – learning to meditate, and understand how things really are, versus how I perceived them to be, I was able to pull myself up from my lowest low and find contentment in my life. Her compassion, openness and sincere nature made the entire experience feel less like talking to a therapist and more like a life coach with a vested interest in my happiness. I owe so much of my success over the dark period of my life to Meredith and continue to use her teachings as a way to maintain a healthy emotional balance today. I recommend her to anyone searching for peace and an overall improvement in one’s life.

For several years after finishing college and entering ‘the real world,’ I found it extremely difficult to cope and keep up with everyday life as I struggled with ADD symptoms. After working with Meredith, I’ve noticed huge and LASTING improvements in my ability to manage those symptoms. My ability to focus has significantly improved, and continues to as I implement her strategies & suggestions. For the first time in my life, I’ve gained the truly priceless acceptance that life isn’t always smooth sailing, and that that’s okay.. Working with Meredith gave me tools and wisdom to help me navigate the tough times in life, and she taught me a path to greater happiness and inner peace regardless of what’s going on around me. I could never thank her nor recommend her enough.

Meredith has a very simple, down-to-earth approach which put me at ease immediately. I have always been intrigued by the practice of meditation yet very intimidated by it. Not only did I learn how to meditate, but I also learned a lot about my brain and how it operates. I love that! I especially love that I can realistically incorporate all her coaching into my daily life. It’s not hard or intimidating, and most importantly, does not feel like a chore. I honestly feel calmer and less overwhelmed
