Message From The Founder

Welcome to BMC Academy! I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you aboard this journey. It's an honor for me to be your guide as you embark on the path towards becoming a certified mindfulness-based coach.

As we delve into this program together, I want to emphasize the significance of certification. It is not just a recognition of your dedication and hard work; it is a testament to your commitment to upholding ethics and quality standards in your practice. Let's also remember, certification is not the end, but a beautiful new beginning as learning will not stop. May mindfulness and coaching become an integral part of that path rather than tools that you will occasionally use in your work. May we walk the talk and model embodied practice.

In today's world, where technological advancements soar, we are witnessing a significant decline of mental health in people of all ages. Globally, we are trying to make sense and balance our use of the resources of the virtual and natural world. 

I invite you to join me on this transformative journey, where mindfulness-based coaching guides us to live harmoniously, respectfully and ethically in both the virtual and natural worlds.

Together, we can make a difference, one mindful step at a time. Welcome aboard!
