About Mindfulmona

I empower burned-out working moms juggling work and family life by offering mindfulness workshops that help them achieve a satisfactory work-life balance. According to a recent study, 68% of working mothers reported experiencing burnout. This might feel like it's a normal part of being a working mom – the chronic stress, feeling stretched thin and unable to meet the demands of work and home, the guilt of not doing enough, feeling like there's never any 'me time.' But it doesn't have to be. 

​

I can help you navigate these challenges through mindfulness workshops that can help you manage stress and difficult emotions, set effective work boundaries, enhance your time management skills, and cultivate a deeper presence at home. The mindfulness workshops can be conducted in private, semi-private, or group formats, and face-to-face or online format.

 

Having worked as a counselling psychologist and a psychology professor while juggling my family and raising my three children, I’ve been there, and I understand the common work-related challenges working moms face in the high paced work culture of Dubai, multitasking and juggling multiple roles. I am passionate about providing the tools and resources to help bring more ease into your lives.
