I’m Meg Stein, a Certified Focusing Professional.
I offer Guided Focusing Sessions, as well as classes and workshops that teach participants how to practice Inner-Relationship Focusing.

Focusing is an embodied mindfulness practice that can help with a wide range of issues in your life, including relationships, parenting, family, mental health desires, big or small transitions, cultivating creativity, gaining clarity around questions and a lot more. It's a practice that allows you to understand more about what is not yet consciously known and to experience your life more fully. Here’s more information about its many benefits.

Three Key Aspects of Focusing

  • engaged, accepting inner attention

    With interested curiosity, you sit down to get to know the feeling better.

  • FELT SENSE

    A felt sense, to put it simply, is a body sensation that has meaning.

  • radical philosophy of change

    Focusing embodies the Being/Allowing philosophy, as developed by Dr. Eugene Gendlin.

  • “It can be difficult to believe that within this stuck place, this self-sabotaging behavior, this painful feeling, lies a positive energy that knows how to live forward.”

    –Dr. Ann Weiser Cornell
