The contemporary fields of medicine, neuroscience and psychotherapy are focusing on the mind (nervous system and brain) as a significant influence on total mindbody health and wellness. New research confirms that the capacity of individuals to handle change and stress in a healthy and productive manner is associated with one's ability to develop mental, emotional, physical and social competencies.

To assist individuals (adults, adolescents and children) in developing these skills Kinder Associates LLC provides mindful awareness programs in an expanding list of community, educational and organizational environments. Common to all of our programs is our focus on mindfulness philosophy, affording participants the opportunity to experience mindfulness skills (focused awareness, attention, and concentration) and approaches (healthy breathing, mindful movement, and relaxation). With practice, participants are in a better position to strengthen their inner locus of control, thereby fostering greater mental fitness, emotional intelligence and physical well-being to relate and respond to life's challenges---healthfully.
