About Us & OUR WORK

Our Story

In  2019, while teaching a mindfulness course, we noticed that some people could not find even 10 minutes in a day for a simple meditation practice. In response to this quandary—people interested in mindfulness but unwilling to take the time to practice—we searched for a solution.

As mindfulness teachers and healthcare professionals, we were curious to know if people could experience the benefits of mindfulness without having to spend the time in a formal practice. We created  a simple, easy, and self sustaining practice that we call the A.W.E Method.

Our model has been clinically tested and proven to decrease stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve overall well-being, connectedness, generosity, and happiness. We are currently collaborating with UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center researching the effectiveness of the A.W.E. Method in two large intervention studies with hundreds of primary patients, hospital staff, and healthcare providers on the frontlines treating COVID-19.
