Imagine being deeply in tune with the full spectrum of your moment-to-moment experience and able to self-regulate easily and self-compassionately to accomplish your daily tasks and life goals.
With Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ or NSM™ we combine deep attunement and self-regulation to help sustain peace, wellbeing and joy in your daily life.
When trying to practice mindfulness meditation, we often find ourselves struggling, engaged in mental gymnastics to remain focused on the object of our mindfulness practice.
Would you like to learn a simple and reliable technique to stabilize your attention with greater ease?
Through the deeply embodied approach of NSM™, your mind is able to settle more quickly and effortlessly access mindful presence and awareness.
With NSM™, you place your attention on the body’s innate capacity to feel and perceive, and anchor it in nowness.
The practice of deep embodiment enables you to tap into an internal resonance within your body that enhances healing and resilience. You will also develop greater emotional awareness and access the body’s innate wisdom while avoiding emotional hijacking.
By stabilizing this deeply embodied presence, we gain access to the physical, mental, emotional, and social information we need to compassionately self-regulate and skillfully interact with our world.
The profound level of presence and embodied awareness you will develop through NSM™ is the key to awakening to the greater dimension of our intersubjective being, or what the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn calls interbeing.
For those of us who choose to serve humanity as mindfulness instructors, counselors, or coaches, NSM™ will support you both by enhancing your effectiveness and deepening your resilience.
Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ emphasizes rigorous clarity and precision in both its methodologies and terminology to further the scientific investigation of mindfulness-awareness meditation and its impact on human health, resilience and performance. This clarity and precision makes NSM™ easily accessible for beginning, intermediate and advanced practitioners alike.
Whether you are just learning to meditate, looking to rekindle a lapsed practice, or feeling like your practice has plateaued with questionable results after many years, NSM™ will provide you with a clear pathway to establish, enhance and/or deepen an optimally effective, beneficial and ultimately liberating meditation practice. NSM™ fully supports our aspirations to live a courageous and fully-engaged life grounded in our innate capacities for kindness, compassion, fearlessness and generosity.
As we further develop these innate capacities and qualities through practice, we naturally begin to experience greater personal freedom and empowerment, increasing confidence in our own and others' intrinsic goodness, enhanced altruistic motivation, and joyful gratitude for life's blessings and challenges.
NSM™ is particularly well-suited for clinicians, business consultants, executive coaches and life coaches wishing to integrate mindfulness into their work with clients. After completing the full course of NSM™ training outlined below, qualified candidates may apply to begin an advanced, year-long training program to become certified NSM™ practitioners and coaches.
NSM™ anchors your attention and awareness in a deeply felt, embodied presence that supports healing, resilience, emotional intelligence and intimate connection with ourselves, others and the natural world.
By grounding ourselves in nowness and presence through NSM™, we develop the peace of mind, confidence and resilience needed to free ourselves of anxiety, worry, and the fear- and scarcity-based habitual patterns and coping strategies from our past. Instead we will live in the now with an abiding sense of freshness, aliveness and possibility.
NSM™ is a trauma-sensitive and self-compassionate approach to classical mindfulness and awareness practices in which we learn, in a self-directed manner, to gradually and safely expand our window of tolerance (or zone of resilience) in order to navigate challenging circumstances with greater ease, equanimity and skillfulness.
NSM™ represents a journey of deep healing in which we learn to be with our experiences (sensory, cognitive and emotional) in a non-judgmental and self-compassionate way, allowing our mind and body to heal and release past traumas.

Eri C."This course brought everything together for me. I’ve been studying mindfulness throughout the years, and the science behind neuro-somatic mindfulness explained how awakening transpires neuro- biologically.
Fleet embodied a warm, friendly and open presence which is important when learning mindfulness. Cultivating these qualities helps to be resilient and create a better world."★★★★★
Nicole Bloam“The Neuro-Somatic Meditations seem to settle my mind faster. As someone with chronic pain issues, NSM also seems to help my pain because I can separate my mood/mental state from the physical pain better with practice. I’m finding that having my body as the object of meditation helps me get to the goal of quieting my mind faster, more directly.“
