About Heart-Mind Life LLC

Heart-Mind Life as a company was born out of my decision to start a "second career", serving others in a way that taps into what I've learned are core parts of me - mindfulness & well-being.  While i am still on my life journey in these areas, I owe my overcoming poor health, anxiety and self-judgement to them.


My experience in well-being as an interest and career started over 15 years ago.  Besides working on my own wellbeing (physical, mental, spiritual ...) i was also fortunate to lead the product group at the top health and wellbeing service company, Virgin Pulse until 2022 - when I decided to switch to a career of service. 


Heart-Mind Life only exists because of the support of my family, Chrissy and my sons boys (Andrew and Brandon).  The goal of the company is service - to provide mostly pro bono work to foster parents, adoptive parents, youth and their caregivers and educators.


Quick note on my approach - everything I produce and recommend is based on the latest health, wellbeing and mindfulness research. 


Finally, why the name  "Heart-Mind Life"?  It was inspired by my re-orientation towards living with my heart and mind being more in balance to bring more ease and patience to everyone in my life.
