The Stories We Live By
Life can be extraordinarily difficult — and astonishingly beautiful.
Stress and grief do not only come from what happens to us, but from the meanings we make of those experiences.
Through mindfulness and reflective writing, we begin to examine the stories we carry — and gently reshape them in ways that support healing, creativity, and resilience.
As depth psychologist Marion Woodman wrote:
“In finding our own story, we assemble all of the parts of ourselves.”
This work is not about bypassing pain.
It is about meeting it with presence — and allowing it to deepen, rather than diminish, your life.
In stillness, nature shows us how to hold both grief and beauty.
A Steady Presence in Changing Times
The world feels uncertain. Many of us carry both personal and collective grief.
Mindfulness does not remove difficulty. It strengthens our capacity to remain grounded, creative, and compassionate within it.
Whether you are seeking therapy, coaching, or a workshop for your organization, this work is about one thing:
Learning to stay present to your life — especially when it feels hard.
Even in motion you can find the still place within
Be here. This is enough.
Mindfulness is…
Mindfulness is awareness of the present moment with kindness. Jen Johnson, mindfulness therapist and coach, teaches people how develop a regular mindfulness practice and integrate it into everyday life.
