Dr. Rose
Dr. Rose became curious about meditation through one of her brothers in the mid-2000's. Another brother introduced her to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), sending her
Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book, Full Catastrophe Living. In 2020, Dr. Rose experienced first-
hand, the transformative power of the 8-week MBSR course. On the front lines of healthcare during the Pandemic, she faced a myriad of
thoughts, emotions, and physical challenges. She deepened her
capacity to cultivate inner peace through the practices in MBSR. Dedicated to bringing this awareness to others, she then set out to become an MBSR teacher.
