She is a Certified Parent Educator (CPE) from Echo Parenting and Education and a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (CMMT) through UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. She became a Certified Mindfulness Teacher - Professional (CMT-P) with the International Mindfulness Teachers Association (IMTA) in July 2020.
