Listen to Finding a Still Quiet Place with Dr. Amy Saltzman
In this episode, I interview Dr. Amy Saltzman. Dr. Amy is recognized as a visionary and pioneer in the domains of mindfulness for athletes, coaches, and other high performers, as well as for kids, teens, parents, teachers. Dr. Amy offers mindfulness coaching and holistic medical care to children, adolescents, their parents, and professionals. Before moving to Santa Barbara, she worked with employees and exces from Apple, Google, Stanford, Square, Genetech.
When I was looking for ways to teach mindfulness to children A Still Quiet Place: A Mindfulness Program for Teaching Children and Adolescents to Ease Stress and Difficult Emotions, by Dr. Amy Saltzman was one of the first books I read. Her book provided me with evidence on the benefits of mindfulness and step-by-step tools for how to teach it in a way easily understood by children. After falling in love with her curriculum and the results I was seeing with my clients, I went on to complete her 10-week online practicum. I still use her curriculum in the mindfulness groups that I lead today.
Here are some of the topics we cover in this episode:
