Personalized support to cultivate presence, ease, and everyday mindfulness
Mindfulness is at the heart of both my personal and professional life. It’s a steady companion that has carried me through decades of transitions, softened my inner dialogue, and deepened my connection to the present moment.
I received my Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification through the highly respected Dharma Moon and Tibet House US. This immersive training expanded my teaching from leading groups and retreats to include 1:1 meditation instruction, allowing me to guide students in a way that’s truly personal and responsive to where they are.
What Our Sessions Look Like 
Working together individually, I tailor each session to your unique needs, intentions, and life rhythm. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your practice, we’ll create something grounded and sustainable.
We begin with a gentle, exploratory session to get clear on what you’re seeking
Then, we move into weekly 30-minute sessions to build consistency
You’ll learn both meditation techniques and how to bring mindful moments into daily life
Why 1:1?
Because your path is yours alone. These sessions offer a space to slow down, tune in, and receive guidance that meets you exactly where you are.
I love sharing the transformational power of mindfulness and am continually inspired by the subtle (and sometimes profound) ways it begins to shift how we live, relate, and show up.
Questions? Ready to Begin? Contact Shayna. I'd be honored to support you.
Thank you, Shayna! Your groups are always amazing and have a high rate of return on value and worth when the time, energy and vulnerability is invested!
Angela B.Shayna holds space in the most loving and effective way. Her workshops are full of great information that allows one to step inside with full authenticity while being held with the felt sense of love and acceptance. I walked away with insight that continues to feed and fuel me everyday.
Elizabeth S.This was a profoundly powerful day. The location, the greeting, the content, and the exercises allowed for a beautiful ease and flow of a remarkable experience. Shayna has a keen ability to hold space and create a nurturing environment where everyone can interact and share freely…or not.
Christine B.Shayna’s workshop completely changed the way I think about my life—from blah and overwhelmed to YES!” Her SOFTT model is like giving myself a hug. Shayna’s daylong workshop literally transformed the way I process all that we, as midlife women, experience.
AnonymousThank you beautiful sister for such a magical gift of your day retreat yesterday 
Your softness and compassion shone bright and transformation happened
I have found the workshops to be very insightful, and potentially transformative. It is a wonderful idea to have a workshop for women in similar places in their lives. It is beautifully lead by Shayna, who offers insight, guidance, and wisdom. I highly recommend these workshops!
Donna B.Thank you so much Shayna Gothard Kaufmann!!! What a wonderful, positive, encouraging, supportive and enlightening experience! All of what you were saying were things I definitely can relate to, and your facilitated exercise was so very valuable. Thank you for creating this for our community of women and beyond. You really are amazing and I admire you deeply!
Shannon W.Through her “Embracing” series, Shayna graciously extends her extensive knowledge, experience, insight, guidance, healing, zen-like leadership and obvious love for what she does with her fellow “middle” women. I gained significant insight about “me” in ways I hadn’t considered before, and that allowed me to begin a wonderful journey of much needed acceptance, forgiveness, healing and peace. I also gained a network of amazing, wonderful women! Thank you, Shayna. You are a trusted adviser and forever friend.
Kelly B.Ongoing growth and development is a huge priority in my life, but I was having a difficult time finding the right context for creating it. Within the confines of Shayna’s group I found camaraderie, laughter, fellowship, connectedness, a feeling of interpersonal relatedness, a sense of safety and mutual respect, and an overall feeling of being truly heard without judgement. I trust Shayna implicitly and in her group I always feel comfortable and safe; a nurturing space to reflect, engage in lively conversation, explore new options and possibilities, and find new ways of thinking about old challenges. I cannot think of a better person to facilitate personal growth and development workshops than Shayna Kaufmann.
