Mindfulness Mentorship
For Clinicians and Coaches
The Guided Mentorship for Bringing
Mindfulness to your Clients Includes
Prior to Mentorship, it is highly recommended that you either have a robust personal mindfulness practice OR take MBSR for Clinicians and Coaches.
Successful integration of mindfulness practice into coaching/clinical work is grounded in a deeply embodied experience of mindful presence.
8-Week Curriculum
Each week, a new module for asynchronous learning opens as you move through a structured learning experience.
See below for curriculum details
1:1 Mentorship
Six personalized, tailored 1:1 mentorship sessions support understanding, embodiment and skill building. We'll practice, answer questions and share feedback as you strengthen your capacity.
Scripts
20+ scripts, thematically arranged according to client state, readiness and goals make it easy to bring mindfulness into sessions.
By far the most effective way to share
Mindfulness with your clients
Is to practice and deeply embody it yourself
The Curriculum
Week 1: Foundations — What Mindfulness Is (and Isn’t) in Clinical Work​
Cut through the myths. Establish mindfulness as awareness + intention + relationship; grounded in the body, but well beyond relaxation. Deepen your personal practice and orient to ethical, scope-aware use with clients.
Week 2: The Practitioner as Instrument
Your presence is the intervention. Explore attention, reactivity, and nervous system awareness in yourself. Learn to recognize when you’re regulated enough to guide others.
Week 3: Clinical Intentions — Why This Practice, Right Now?
Shift from “I know a meditation” to “I know why I’m choosing this.” Map core intentions like regulation, grounding, interoception, decentering, and compassion. Choose practices based on client state, readiness and goals.
Week 4: Mindful Inquiry
Learn to assess what’s happening beneath the surface by skillfully inquiring into the client's moment to moment experience of the practice. Guide clients from judgement, opinions and stories towards present moment awareness.
Week 5: Guiding Mindfulness — Language, Tone, and Timing
How you lead matters as much as what you lead. Develop clear, invitational language. Practice pacing, silence, and tracking client experience in real time.
Week 6: Working with Difficulty
What happens when mindfulness brings up anxiety, numbness, or overwhelm? Learn how to titrate, resource, and stay within a workable window for your client.
Week 7: Integration into Sessions
Move beyond “add-on meditation.” Learn how to weave mindfulness into assessments, interventions, and transitions. Make it seamless, not separate.
Week 8: Developing Your Own Approach
Refine your style. Identify your strengths, preferred practices, and clinical niches. Create a personalized plan for continuing to grow your mindfulness-informed work.
This Mentorship is for You if
You've experienced the benefits of Mindfulness personally, but feel unsure how to bring it into sessions without it feeling forced, scripted, or out of place.
You want to move beyond “try this meditation” and instead choose practices with clear clinical intention—knowing why you’re offering what you’re offering.
You sometimes sense that mindfulness could help your clients in the moment, but aren’t confident what to do or how to guide it skillfully.
You want language that feels natural, invitational, and aligned with your voice—not something that sounds like you’re reading from a script.
You’ve noticed that clients can become overwhelmed, numb, or disengaged during mindfulness—and you want to respond skillfully rather than back away from using it.
You’re looking to deepen your own practice, not just for personal benefit, but because you know your presence directly impacts your clients.
You want to integrate mindfulness seamlessly into your existing approach—without it feeling like an add-on or a separate “intervention.”
You’re ready to feel more confident, precise, and grounded in how you bring mindfulness into your work—so it becomes something you trust, not something you second-guess.
Hi! I'm Colette
After a career in Public Health, while I was single parenting a teenager and running my own business, I suffered a near fatal pulmonary embolism. Physically, I recovered quickly - but I remained stressed and anxious as never before. So I took a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction class and knew right away I wanted to help people overcome debilitating stress. ​
10+ years later, still human and working on my own stress, I'm so excited to be living my dream, teaching MBSR to therapists and coaches offering Holistic Pain Management Coaching, and courses/workshops about integrating mindfulness into coaching and clinical work.
