More About MIEA

MIEA (Mindfulness for Emerging Adults)

In 2019, I co-founded MIEA with three colleagues. MIEA is an evidence-based curriculum specifically designed for teaching mindfulness, meditation, and stress management to juniors and seniors in high school, college students, and adults.

Our MIEA Basic course, which provides an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, is taught as a weekly, 75 to 90-minute class over four weeks by a MIEA certified teacher. Classes meet via Zoom in a small group format. There is an accompanying book and free App that go with the course. Teachers provide guidance throughout the week via the MIEA App. Research has shown that students who take MIEA Basic feel calmer, sleep better, are more mindful and less likely to judge themselves harshly.

MIEA is different from other mindfulness training programs:

  • Mindfulness meditation, as well as stress-management skills, are taught
  • A concise 4-session course to accommodate busy schedules
  • Highly structured class with recommended 10 minutes daily mindfulness practice and mindfulness log which provides ongoing teacher support between sessions
  • Taught in small groups that allow for a sense of connectedness
  • Active teaching to address skepticism and build motivation
  • Free use of MIEA app to support and enhance one’s practice
  • Classes taught by 4 experienced mental health professionals who bring years of clinical expertise and knowledge to their teachings
  • MIEA Alumni are invited to free one hour classes, which are offered several times throughout the year
