I first learned about mindfulness in 2011, after reading about a relatively new evidenced-based group treatment to prevent depression relapse, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).  I was looking for a group treatment to complement my individual therapy practice for people struggling with depression.  I read that, in order to teach MBCT, I first had to take a course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).  After taking MBSR myself, I noticed a significant transformation in the way I related to stress.  I never knew how anxious I was until I started to slow down!  I became happier, more peaceful, less impulsive, and more compassionate with myself and others.  I vowed to become a certified MBSR instructor to help others, especially healthcare professionals, do the same.  After 2 years of training through the the Oasis Institute at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, I became certified to teach MBSR.   
Here is a wonderful synopsis about mindfulness, created by the the
