Hi, I'm Gabriella.
A mindfulness & meditation teacher and guide.
Certified MBSR teacher (Mindful Academy Solterreno) supporting expats and locals in Brussels through 8-week MBSR courses, 1:1 mindfulness coaching, and tailored programmes for organisations, supporting medical wellbeing and mental health centers.
Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.
Jon Kabat-ZinnWhat is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is an opportunity to wake up from autopilot, by intentionally putting your attention to your senses and your body in the present moment.
It teaches the quality of being in the now, gaining a new perspective, and feeling connected and grounded throughout the day. With choice comes freedom.
- 01Reduce mind wandering, sharpen focus.
- 02Lower stress, regain agency.
- 03Liberate from anxiety; soften pain signals.
- 04Nurture warmth toward yourself and others.
It started with a severe illness.
That was when I got deeply into mindfulness. I understood it was time to change my life, and I was open to take myself in charge. I discovered the power of the mind, and the possibility of healing both body and mind.
We all have the duty to take care of ourselves, to turn inside and discover who we are. No one else can do it for us.
Mindfulness is about being true to oneself. It supports clarity in decision-making and lets us be more peaceful and resilient in regard to the frantic world we are living in.
Mindfulness improves leadership empathy, decision-making and stress management, and reduces burnout.
