​​I'm Kristen, a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher through the McLean Meditation Institute.

​

People sometimes ask how I became interested in meditation. It wasn't something I had planned to pursue. Like many people, I found my way to it during a season of grief, stress, and uncertainty. I was looking for something to help me slow down and make a little more sense of life.

What started as curiosity gradually became a daily practice.

​

Meditation didn't change who I am. It helped me become a little more present, a little more patient, and maybe a little more human.

​

It gave me space to pause before reacting. Space to notice. Space to appreciate the ordinary moments that are easy to miss when life gets busy.

​

Over time, I realized that creating space extends far beyond meditation. It influences how we work, how we use technology, how we care for ourselves, and how we experience our lives.

That's why I created Mountain View Works.

​

I believe many of us are moving through life so quickly that we don't always notice what matters most. My hope is to help individuals and organizations intentionally create space for insight, wellbeing, and more intentional ways of living and working.

​​

Today, Mountain View Works brings together many of the threads that have shaped my own life, meditation, learning, wellbeing, recreation, community, and intentional living.

​

Whether I'm teaching, designing learning experiences, helping someone clarify an idea, or simply sharing a conversation, my hope is the same: to help people create space for insight, wellbeing, and what matters most.

​

I'd love to have you join me.
