Meditation only works if it becomes part of how you live.
The most important part of how I teach meditation is helping you integrate it into real life, your relationships, your work, your nervous system, and your inner world. Not as an escape, but as a practical, repeatable skill you can return to every day.
Each time we sit, we’re not just “relaxing.” We are training discipline and flexibility, cultivating self-compassion and acceptance, and developing the capacity to stay present with ourselves, even when life is challenging.
Over time, this process becomes deeply regulating. It builds emotional steadiness, mental clarity, and a form of resilience that is embodied, not forced, and that lasts.
Awareness Insight Meditation (AIM)
I teach a method called Awareness Insight Meditation (AIM), a modern, structured approach that weaves together:
Meditation practice
Psychology and neuroscience
Biology and nervous-system regulation
Clear, practical guidance on how to practice consistently
The foundational AIM course is taught in three progressive parts to support the development of a sustainable, twice-daily open-monitoring meditation practice.
Part 1 — The Foundation of Meditation
Part 2 — The Psychology of Meditation
Part 3 — The Process and Practice of Meditation
This course is offered in a small-group setting through The School of Modern Meditation, or 1:1 for those who prefer to learn privately.
If you’re ready to move beyond theory and learn meditation as a lived skill — one that supports how you think, feel, and show up — you can explore Awareness Insight Meditation here.
Train your awareness. Change how you live.
Some of the shifts or ‘benefits’ of a regular meditation practice I’ve experienced in myself and my students are:
Deeper contentment with relationships, work, life as a whole
An integration of stress and chronic anxiety
The dissolution of unhealthy, limiting habits and coping mechanisms
A healthier relationship with our bodies, food, finances
Overcoming fears, negative thoughts and limiting beliefs
Improved health, increased energy levels
Resilience and adaptability to help move though difficult areas/phases of my life
More joy, and peace of mind
Improved focus and attention span
A deeper sense of compassion and empathy
A easeful discernment of priorities
As meditators twice a day we have a practice that facilitates what we call ‘unstressing’. As our practice takes us into a deep state of rest we unravel and start to release a lifetime's accumulation of energy that has been trapped within us. Over time we process and let go of the long-term negative effects of this conditioning. We also have a daily process that makes the unconscious, conscious meaning we become more present to life and ourselves.
What you get from your practice will be directly proportionate to the time and commitment you put in.
