I am an Australian-born mother of two who has been living in Italy for 17 years. After experiencing postnatal depression, I discovered mindfulness in 2015. It helped me navigate challenges with clarity and resilience, sparking a passion for teaching mindfulness. I completed the Mindful Schools Year Certification Training and Paws B with the Mindfulness in Schools Project. I then trained at the Center for Mindfulness at Brown to teach Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and I’ve been teaching mindfulness since 2017. I have a selection of guided meditations available on the Insight Timer meditation app Contact Details InsightTimer Instagram LinkedIn Email: belindadacostaalves@gmail.com
