Patrick's been a Special Education teacher for 23 years. While conducting research on the development of the human brain, he came across research on Mindfulness. As someone suffering and taking medication for stress and anxiety, he decided to give it a try. Mindfulness improved all aspects of his life; he's been practicing for 12 years and is no longer on medication. He believes Mindfulness can also help his students experience less stress and anxiety. Four years after the publication of his dissertation, he now teaches Mindfulness classes. Patrick has been married for 30 years and has two sons.
"I believe everyone can experience the benefits of a Mindfulness practice and I'm committed to teaching as many people as possible."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"I learned from the practice...it held me accountable for really practicing Mindfulness in everyday life.
I learned that I am not alone with these problems, and how to live in the moment."
"I found the whole experience rewarding, insightful (about myself), and helpful in controlling stress levels. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone who has issues controlling anxiety and stress or just being able to focus.”

"Patrick worked with my teenage daughter who is a soccer player and was struggling with some of the mental pressure of playing in a competitive environment. It has made a huge difference in her confidence and it shows in her performance and her happiness on and off the field."
