Mentoring & Speaking

Mentoring

Mentoring sessions allow you to share the facets of this journey with someone who has walked the path and has decades of experience in guiding others along the way. 

Many people benefit from monthly meetings, and others pop in periodically for a “tune-up.” Sessions are 60 minutes and can be schedule one at a time, or in a 3-session package.

In these one-on-one sessions, we:

  • Look at your intentions around starting or deepening your meditation practice 

  • Identify “growth edges”

  • Design a structure that offers specific practices, when appropriate, with the flexibility to make them your own

  • Work through the highs, lows, and plateaus

  • Engage around the myriad ways your practice takes shape “off the cushion”

Fees: For mentoring to be as financially accessible as possible, Trisha offers a sliding scale. Please choose an amount that feels best aligned to your circumstances.

One session: $40-$125

Three-session package:  $120-$375

Mentoring For Mindfulness Teachers

Trisha also provides ongoing teacher mentoring to graduates of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), and others who offer mindfulness instruction in both community and clinical settings. Please use the Contact Form to inquire.

Her lively and engaging presentations use a combination of storytelling, practical guidance, and interactive exercises to offer audiences both inspiration and tools for living with greater clarity, resilience, and compassion.

  • "She has an undying commitment to support the awakening of beings through her clear and accessible teachings, terrific sense of humor, and deep love for the Dharma."

    Trisha has been a dear dharma colleague and friend for over fifteen years. She rocks! 

    — La Sarmiento, Teacher Emeritus, Insight Meditation Community of Washington

  • "Trisha’s diverse life experiences have given her a unique eye into the human condition and she’s able to translate that into practical teachings that feel relatable."

    Every time I attend, I think, “How did she know I needed to hear that today?” 

    — Susan M., Daylong retreat student

  • "Whether she’s speaking with a small community group or hundreds of people at a large event, Trisha brings the same level of warmth and authenticity that makes her teaching so relatable."

    — Lauren M., Fairfax County Caregiver Support Network

  • "I felt no need to pretend to be something I’m not. I wish there were more spaces like this."

    The group of about 30 was made up of regular people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, and not only did nothing weird happen, it was probably the most refreshingly “average” group of people I’d been around in a long time! The meditation and talk were followed by a discussion where all views were welcomed, and I felt no need to pretend to be something I’m not. I wish there were more spaces like this. 

    — Stephan D., Sunday morning drop-in student

  • "Whether she’s speaking with a small community group or hundreds of people at a large event, Trisha brings the same level of warmth and authenticity that makes her teaching so relatable."

    — Lauren M., Fairfax County Caregiver Support Network

  • "Thank you for the many years of wisdom and heart. I remember your teaching anecdotes often and can hear your voice in my head whenever I hit a rough patch."

    The recordings of your meditations are also a frequent go-to when I feel my practice slipping and need a reboot!

    — Sam L., MBSR student

  • "I always leave my mentoring sessions with Trisha feeling more grounded and confident in my practice."

    Meditation is ultimately a solitary practice but I’ve found the opportunity to meet regularly with a wise mentor and a group of people dedicated to living life more “awake” has been absolutely essential to my growth.
