Welcome! I’m Miranda, a Mindfulness teacher and Resilience facilitator.

I specialize in teaching practical, secular meditation techniques to busy people so that they can find that much-needed pause in their lives.

After 12 years in top advertising agencies, I now work as a trainer in science-based mindfulness for all sorts of organizations, both corporate and community through my wellness company Find that Pause. I teach at Englewood Hospital and for the workplace wellness company Optum and their client Goldman Sachs.

I am a certified ICT coach and meditation educator, a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, and the author of The 5-Minute Meditation Journal. I have a MA from Edinburgh University, UK, and a MS from Trinity Dublin, Ireland.

I have over 20 years of mindfulness experience and have studied with some of the world's great teachers in India, the U.K., and the USA. However, I think my two young sons are my greatest "Zen Masters.”

Imagine giving your audience the tools and know-how to handle stressful moments with grace and regulation!

Contact me to decide what kind of presentation would be right for your organization. I have a sliding scale for non-profits and libraries and can teach effectively online or in person

"Miranda is a gifted mindfulness facilitator and space holder who helps her students find a much-needed pause in their busy lives. If you or your team are looking to improve mental wellness and learn practical science-based stress management strategies, I highly recommend Miranda as a 1:1 coach, community leader, and corporate wellness facilitator.

My services

I am a professional facilitator of mindfulness and resilience and have taught many different audiences, from library groups to large corporate facilitation.

Some of the themes I teach are:

An Introduction to Mind Health

Discover what mindfulness truly is (and isn’t), why it can benefit you, and how to practice even on busy days with a busy mind. Guided by my book, The 5-Minute Meditation Practice, this workshop can be a one-time session or divided into four parts for a deeper understanding of mind health science and practical tools to support your mental well-being.

Mindful Stress Reduction

Building a Resilient Mindset
Understand resilience and how to harness your inner strength to bounce back from setbacks or challenges. This workshop will teach you practical tools to build and maintain a resilient mindset.

Find Your Pause
Incorporate simple mindfulness tools into your life without taking extra time out of your day. This highly interactive and practical workshop focuses on reducing stress one pause at a time.

Staying Grounded and Preventing Overwhelm in Family Life
Learn simple yet powerful tools to stay grounded and manage emotional ups and downs with grace and effectiveness. Whether juggling work and family or seeking moments of respite, this workshop will help you carve out moments of peace in your busy life.

Mindfulness for Mood-Boosting and Understanding Emotions
Increase your emotional intelligence and learn why understanding and regulating your emotions can be so beneficial. This workshop will provide insights and techniques to boost your mood and emotional well-being.

Opening Your Heart
Research shows that self-compassion is a powerful way to achieve emotional well-being and contentment. This workshop will help you cultivate self-compassion, offering a refuge from constant self-judgment and fostering a sense of calm, stability, and acceptance.
