About SHerri:
My name is Sherri Nguyen. I have lived in the beautiful city of Boca Raton, FL for the past twenty-two years with my husband, Tuan and our two boys, Tallon- 20-Junior at University of North Florida, Kierce-17- Junior at Boca Raton Community High school.
My passion is empowering people to connect to their authentic self and lead and inspire from a place of love and connection and to make a positive impact on themselves and to share that love with others. I have held many titles in life, but the ones that feel true to me right know are teacher, mentor, and coach.
My journey to mindfulness started around 2009. I lost my hero, my grandfather who was a major influence in my life. I started to search for more meaning and continued to ask questions that lead me to mindfulness and meditation. It was the first time that I really recognized (became aware) of my thoughts, feelings, and mind body connection thru simply breathing. I wanted to learn more and dove into the practice.
I was teaching preschool at the time and recognized that thru creating my own personal practice of using mindfulness in my daily life with all my relationships including my students that they were benefiting from the skills that I was demonstrating and practicing daily. I noticed the difference that becoming aware of my thoughts and taking responsibility for myself first was making a noticeable difference in the way I was showing up as a teacher.
I was learning to pause and see where I needed to self-regulate, thru the simple practice of coming home to my breathe. Awareness to the present moment taught me to be conscious of my responses versus unconsciously reacting to life situations. This was a game changer for me because I realized that I had the power to be aware and recognize/label feeling that were coming up- pause and decide if it is wanted feeling or to just let it go.
As I continued to deepen my practice, I noticed such a need for families to be introduced to the practice and the enormous benefits for themselves and their families. My passion is to teach tools that can assist in better relationships thru connection and communication.
As my journey continues, I have made mindfulness/meditation a daily practice as a part of my morning routine as well as carrying the skills of mindfulness to as many of my daily interactions and know that- everyone we interact with has the potential to be our teacher.
I am honored to be a part of Meditate School of Mindfulness as a Master of Mindfulness Mentor, Mindful Family Mentor, Parent & Teen Mentor, Practitioner of Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra Teacher and to share this knowledge with you. This is a community that continues to question with curiosity, how we can weave the principles of Mindfulness into every area of our life. I would love to hear more about you and to know where you are on your life journey and what is needed for you right now. Please book a clarity call to discuss.
Specialty areas: Mindfulness, Parenting, Communication, Stress Management, Radical Acceptance, Holding Space, Being Love, Intention Setting
