I teach people how to de-stress, get creative, manage challenging life situations, and be more productive using the Do Nothing Meditation method.
My one one one coaching includes guidance through your own at-home meditation retreat.
Are you feeling burned out, like a machine with no “off” switch? Do you strive so hard it’s affecting their health, relationship, and quality of life?
After two years of lockdown are you struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, and unexpected challenges, burned out, addicted to screens, and unsure what to do next?
Are you a teacher or coach looking for a new way to help your clients manage stress?
The Do Nothing Meditation Method is not another technique to master but a way of being that makes you feel energized, calm, and excited about life. A way that’s so simple you can’t over think and that’s doable, no matter how busy you are.
I learned about the power of doing nothing, sort of by accident.
I spent a year in a small cottage on the West Coast of New Zealand, practicing do nothing meditation. I wasn’t following some grand plan. I didn’t even realize it was a meditation when I started.
I’d been sick for 10 years, unable to work, travel, or have lasting relationships. I needed a new way! (Read the story here,) The practice of “doing nothing,” had such an immediate and powerful impact I wanted to learn all I could about this fresh way of seeing myself so I decided to do it for a year.
I learned how to stop and reconnect; I learned that is the most simple thing in the world. I learned that I don’t need to read more books about how to feel calm, or get better at yoga, or try and figure things out. I found a way to instantly energize myself and a way to tap into a reservoir of creativity and motivation. I learned that within me, within all of us, not very far away at all, is everything we need to guide us.
Your mind is a powerful ally and a dastardly foe
Your mind is one of your best assets, but if left unchecked can work you into the ground and stop you from hearing your inner wisdom. Many people assume their amazing ideas come from their brain. The truth is, that the really great ones come through our heart; the bit of us that is connected to our intuition and all living things. The Do Nothing Meditation Method helps you tap into this part of you.
The Do Nothing Meditation Method is a tool for everyone
We can all do it, and you will be able to teach it to anyone, young and old. It’s a very shareable method.
- You can’t over think it
- It’s not religious
- It requires little-to-no willpower
- Small amounts of actively doing nothing can have a big impact
- You don’t have to sit rigidly ignoring natural urges to move
- You don’t need to control your mind by focusing on just one thing (Yay!)
- No meditation experience is required; but if you are a regular meditator it’s just as powerful

PART THREE: Do Nothing Meditation and Your Clients
Showing your clients the power in doing less makes your work run more smoothly because it helps them to more readily tap into their own inner guidance and sift through some of their mind junk.
- For people who are burned out, they learn that taking time out is truly one of the most productive things they can do allowing them to rest and simultaneously move forward, maybe even in a new and exciting direction.
- For people caught in overwhelm or dealing with major life struggles Do Nothing Meditation helps them feel calmer and tapped into their inner wisdom. Understanding the philosophy behind this practice helps people worry less about not knowing “the plan.”
- For people who are anxious and/or mildly depressed Do Nothing Meditation helps them see how that their thoughts are not them; once this happens, the anxious thought lose some of their sting and tend to move on more quickly.
- For people wanting to change a habit, Do Nothing Meditation shows them what their thoughts are up to, so they can be more aware of what is driving them. And because they now see their thoughts as separate from them, it’s easier not to be beholden to them.
- For people stuck in the past, Do Nothing Meditation is very healing. Letting our thoughts move through us, without trying to change them or reject them, or distract ourselves from them, makes them lose their sting. Eventually, they go away.
- For busy mothers who feel disconnected learning how to add mini 5-minute spaces in their life can help them feel grounded and energized.
- For writers, artists, and people who work on any kind of creative project Do Nothing Meditation helps you work more efficiently flip-flopping between your mind and your intuition in a productive way. You learn to recognize when your mind is censoring too early in the project.

FAQ
How much time do I need for this
I’ve structured this coaching to suit the busiest person down to someone with plenty of time on their hands. Training will be via short videos. Whether you’re a mother minding a busy household or semi-retired, this is aimed at you. To complete the course you’ll need to set time aside time to do a 1- and 3-day retreat.
How do you schedule the zoom calls?
I provide times I’m available using Calendly, and you pick the time that works for you.
I’ve never used Marco Polo before. What do I need to do?
There is a Marco Polo App you can download to your phone. There is a free version and a paid version; the free version will be fine for what we’re doing. I’ve found Marco Polo to be a fabulous coaching tool: It’s easy to be yourself and say what you want to say without it taking too long, or you having to spend ages crafting an email. The flexibility of Marco Polo suits a busy, changing schedule. (When I’m not coaching I’m running around after a unicorn- and princess-obsessed 4-year old who loves jumping and making fairy houses in the dirt.)
Where do I find the video lessons?
These will be sent to you over our 3-month coaching period. You will be able to download the audio to keep with your own records, plus you can login into your own account on my website and find them there.
Can I spread out my payments?
Yes, if you prefer, you can pay over 3 months.
I’m not a teacher or coach—can I still sign up?
Yes.
Can I make money as a Do Nothing Meditation tutor.
You’ll be able to incorporate the teachings in your own work and host your own retreats and charge what you see fit.
