Hello, friend! Thanks for stopping by 👋

My name is Ana, and I’ve always been curious about what makes people feel at home - in themselves, in their work, and in the world. That question has taken me across continents and into very different rooms: from board meetings in tech startups to quiet forest paths at sunrise, from scaling nonprofit teams to guiding students in meditations.

Somehow, it's always been infused with a sense of presence, and this is how I ended up learning about mindfulness. My journey began over a decade ago through the MIDL Insight Meditation system and the Kadampa Buddhist tradition - but it’s been shaped just as much by patient tides, winding trails, and the occasional stubborn pine tree.

I believe mindfulness doesn’t have to live on a cushion - it can unfold in the middle of a hike, while swimming in the ocean, or in a small pause before a conversation.

These days, I’m not very active on social media, so if you'd like to connect - please leave your comment/question on any of my meditations on Insight Timer - I am honored to connect with you there! 🩵
