I'm Jill Stansbury.
An Educator and Lifelong Student
I have been studying in spiritual traditions centered around meditation for the last 30 years, with Hindu and Buddhist teachers, as well as at the non-religious Mindfulness Center at Brown University. There, I have qualified as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program Facilitator and learned about scientifically-based ways to teach others to skillfully relate to their lives in order to transform the way they relate with discomfort, difficulty, despair, and joy.
I have worked in American and Chinese schools as a teacher, school administrator, and most recently an Early Childhood Social and Emotional Learning Specialist. In that work, I have always sought to help young people and their families look at their strengths and learn additional tools to increase their wellness. I want to continue to share that perspective with as many people, educators and parents as possible so that the world becomes a healthier place that welcomes and cares for us all.
