APPLIED MINDFULNESS
WELCOME
Experiencing the present moment through the practice of mindfulness helps us connect with what is happening within and around us so we can more skillfully respond to inner and outer stimuli. By developing this quality of awareness, we gain a clearer understanding of our internal and external circumstances, which allows us to move out of (often harmful) reactivity and towards a more skillful response.
Sometimes accessing the present moment can seem impossible or uncomfortable, especially if the practice is new or we are experiencing a period of intensified distress. To help navigate and support your mindfulness and meditation journey, I offer free mindfulness education resources on my Universati™ educational platform, where I provide Mindful Education for All.
As a Professional-Level Certified Mindfulness Teacher (IMTA CMT-P), Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center + Awareness Training Institute), Mayo Clinic-trained Wellness Coach, Martha Beck-trained Wayfinder Life Coach, heritage Thai Buddhist and lifelong mindfulness practitioner, I look forward to partnering with you on your path towards:
- increased clarity;
- a stronger sense of equanimity;
- improved resilience;
- enhanced performance; and
- greater well-being.
As a parent of a child with anorexia nervosa, I also work with parents, schools and organizations to support mindful caregiving and provide free Eating Disorder Education resources on my EDUniversati™ change platform.
May you be well,
Chrissy

STUDENT success stories
The Sitting Circle was a dream. I've tried meditation in the past, but there have always been barriers to making it a regular part of my routine. I took this on because of the low commitment and it worked perfectly for me. I was able to do this as my day allowed, the length was ideal and not too long to feel overwhelming, and the occasional live sessions were a nice supplement adding to my connection to the program. I found the Sitting Circle calming for my active, anxious mind, and it was a perfect escape for me in a crowded house.

Chrissy is calm, patient, welcoming, knowledgable, generous, and a joy to listen to. I came in with a general understanding of mindfulness, and came away with actionable mindful meditation strategies that help me reframe negative or distracting thoughts so that I can move past them to stay present. Chrissy is passionate about her craft and skillfully guides others with the simple and clear way she articulates her message. I highly recommend working with Chrissy if you have the chance!

Chrissy offered a weekly meditation time that was so helpful, healing and grounding during a very difficult time for myself and the world. I am grateful for this and will always look back and remember this special time with love!

Chrissy brought a sense of calming to the world the moment the call started.

Chrissy is honest, real, empathetic, friendly, warm and welcoming.

If you are brand new to the concept of mindful well-being, you’re just where you need to be.
Wellness coaching can be helpful if you are a) contemplating making a change in any area of your personal or professional life and want to evaluate your options or begin your visioning process for the transition or b) ready to take the leap and would like a supportive partner in the behavioral change or transition process.
A mindfulness teacher can assist you in learning how to incorporate mindfulness practices into daily life to find more ease or peace in your relationships, work life, communication skills, health management, self-talk habits, and more.
Mindfulness and Wellness are two interrelated disciplines that complement each other. If you’re interested in experiencing an easeful, integrated quality of life and increasing your overall well-being with a mindful approach, we can craft classes or sessions tailored to your specific needs.
If you’re still not sure, you can book a free 15-minute discovery call before applying for a private session.
No; they are not religious. No particular religious background is needed or is in conflict with any teaching, programming or coaching.
Universati is a play on words combining “university” + “sati.” Sati means “mindfulness” in Thai and ancient Pali.
EDUniversati (™) is the same play on words combining “university” + “sati” and adding the prefix “ED,” which stands for “eating disorder.”
