Lorrie Jones – Creating Beauty through Change

"Optimal health and happiness is more than a state of the absence of disease or emotional pain. It is a continuous adjustment to the changing demands of life and environment. And it must bring with it a sense of joy and strength – of buoyancy, resilience, beauty and balance."

~Lorrie Jones

 

Lorrie Jones

From a foundation of traditional Western medicine, I weave Eastern wisdom, life experience, opportunity and learning and growth into a unique and innovative approach to living a life of wellness, balance and serenity. Rather than focus on what is ineffective, we embrace what is thriving, what is possible and what enhances the health and well-being of the individual or group. Within any life challenge there is hope for a flourishing and flowering of all that is beautiful in the human soul.

 

My passion is partnering with you on your journey, modeling and mentoring elegant and effective skills for embracing change and transformation within oneself, between one another and within our global community.

 

As a wellness practitioner, educator and coach, I have served individuals, groups, and hospitals with my expertise in health issues, specialty in maternal-child nursing, advanced professional training in stress reduction, extensive research in mind-body healing and commitment to learning and growth. My commitment is to work from my heart and to honor the sacredness of your process.

 

Designed to educate, inspire and motivate, I offer mindfulness based, integrative wellness programs, mindful motherhood workshops, and stress management education. Each program weaves the essential elements of wellness, balance, purpose, and passion into the creation of a life of vibrant and sustainable health and well-being – a life you truly love.

 

In addition, I have developed an MBSR program for teaching teachers: professional caregivers and other leaders in the healthcare field wishing to teach Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction to others.

 

My credentials include and are notlimited to: BS Nursing; Certification in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction with Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Center for Mindfulness, Neuro-Linguistics; participated in Insight Dialogue workshops and facilitators’ training (the foundation of Interpersonal Mindfulness), led by Gregory Kramer and by Gregory and Florence Meyer; Beginning, Advanced and Senior Yoga and Mat Pilates.

 

Being the only person in Washington State holding professional certification in teaching MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), I offer state-of-the-art professional programs and mindfulness practices. From this rich soil of commitment, challenge and achievement, the birth and flowering of a sacred niche of professional offering has occurred.
