Mindful-U is dedicated to helping you helping you increase your happiness quotient and cultivate sustainable joy in your personal and professional life and relationships. We invoke practical mindfulness techniques, lifestyle coaching, and personal empowerment tools you can use in all aspects of your world. Mindful-U offers e-courses, live events, personal coaching and meditation instruction, and transformational retreats designed to help you access what's truly important so you let go of the rest. Andrea and Katy have been featured speakers with The Women's Health Foundation, Soul Theatre and CommuniTeach's Learnapalooza. We also facilitate two groups on Meetup.com: Chicago Women's Creative Collective, bringing women from all forms of expression together to share and celebrate their work and support the creative process; and Mindfulness Everywhere, creating community online from wherever you are to practice the art of mindfulness.
