Hello, I’m Urvi — and it’s wonderful to meet you!

Drawing upon a lifelong passion to create healthy connections between people and how they experience life, and inspired by how mindfulness has transformed my own life, I teach evidence-based mindful practices, character development and emotional intelligence tools. I take an experiential approach to show young people and the adults in their lives how to connect with their wise self that is already there, present inside of them!

As a teenager, I volunteered at the hospital, supported teens that were struggling and apprenticed with a classical homeopathic doctor . I then went on to achieve a Finance degree and career focusing on strategic and competitive pricing and business analytics with some of the largest Global telecom and pharmaceutical, and consumer goods companies . I also draw upon a lifetime of experience in meditation and contemplative practices to share the benefits of mindful programs with parents and teachers.

I began a meditation practice in 1992, and my formal teacher training began in 2015 with Dr. Jagdish Dave as mentor-mentee, co-teaching in the classroom. I continue an ongoing learning relationship to deepen my teaching skills and spiritual growth. I’ve completed Dr. Amy Saltzman’s Still Quiet Place Teacher Training Program, the Applied Compassion Training (ACT) with the CCARE at Stanford, and also the Inward Bound Mindfulness Education Teacher Training for teens and adolescents. And I belong to the FocusedKids, MindfulSchools, and iBme Professional Development Group for mindfulness teachers. I am an ambassador of compassionate action to flourish in all the lives that I touch!

To grow my personal practice and understanding, I’ve attended 10-day  silent meditation retreats in the Vipassana tradition, and  trained with extraordinary teachers including Steve Hickman, Lorrain Hobbs, Jorg Mangold, Dr. Amy Saltzman, Dr. Jagdish Dave, Jessica Morey, Monica Hanson, Neelama Eyres, Robert Cusick, Dr. Doty, Marvin Belzer, Diana Winston, Dave Potter and Enlightened living Guru’s from the Wisdom Traditions of the East.

Thanks for being curious about me and what I do as a mindfulness coach. I look forward to learning more about you and meeting your bright, wise self! Get in touch and we can explore how we can walk this path mindfully together, side by side, step by step
