Learn To Meditate

Calm Yourself Through Meditation

Build your inner peace foundation, starting with 10 minutes a day.

Many people begin meditation because they are tired of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched thin. They want tools that help them cope better, sleep more deeply, and feel steadier in their day-to-day lives.

This 3-hour Learn to Meditate session is designed to help you establish that foundation, with a simple, sustainable practice that builds inner steadiness and creates the foundation for greater ease and well-being.

As an experienced meditation teacher with a background in nursing and nervous system regulation, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can begin with confidence and leave with a practice you can rely on for years to come.

Learn to Meditate sessions are available in person (Calgary, Alberta) or worldwide via Zoom.

A private Learn to Meditate session is a great fit if:

  • YOU WANT A SIMPLE, realistic PRACTICE

    You’re not looking for something complicated or overly spiritual, but rather a grounded approach that can be sustained even on busy days.

  • You Feel Confused about how to begin

    You’ve heard meditation is helpful, but you’re not confident you’re “doing it right,” and you would value clear, thoughtful guidance that explains how it works.

  • YOU’RE FEELING OVERWHELMED OR STRETCHED THIN

    Stress, anxiety, poor sleep, or emotional reactivity are beginning to affect your well-being, and you want a practice that helps your body settle and your mind feel less scattered.

  • You want to relate to Your Thoughts and emotions differently

    You notice how quickly your mind spins or how strongly your emotions can take over, and you would like to respond with greater steadiness, clarity, and self-trust rather than reacting automatically.

Move into a Whole New Way of Being

Live with greater ease and well-being from the inside out.

As your nervous system becomes steadier and your mind less reactive, your experience of daily life begins to shift. You may find yourself responding with more clarity, feeling less pulled by stress, and navigating challenges with greater composure and self-trust.

Meditation does not remove life’s pressures, but it strengthens your capacity to meet them. Over time, that inner steadiness becomes a reliable foundation that supports healthier decisions, clearer boundaries, and a more grounded relationship with yourself.

If you have been looking for a practical and meaningful place to begin, this is it.

A few kind words

As simple as a few-hour ‘Learn to Meditate’ workshop sounds, it really changed my life. For someone who was pretty close-minded, unable to sit still or quiet my mind… Bev uncomplicated the process. A little practicing daily has brought me so much more peace and comfort.

Today was a HUGE day for me. My life was taken over by anxiety/panic attacks 22 years ago. Today, I took it back… Thank you so much for what you taught us in your meditation session. I plan on continuing to meditate and never look back.

Bev M

I am really enjoying the meditation techniques Bev taught me. I am finding it very helpful, and I am feeling much calmer and positive than I was two weeks ago. I am very pleased with the way it is helping me cope with my anxiety as well as depression.

Frequently asked questions

Meditation is powerful way to access the natural peace and quiet that already exists within you. Rather than forcing your mind to be quiet (which is impossible!), you’ll learn techniques to go beyond mental chatter to find inner calm. Think of it as giving your mind and body a reset button – no complicated practices required.

If you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, sleep issues, health challenges, racing thoughts, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, meditation can help. You don’t need to change your beliefs or lifestyle – just a willingness to spend a few minutes daily on your wellbeing.

I teach the Simple, Easy, Every Day (SEED) meditation method – practical techniques that fit into real life. No complicated rules or rigid practices. These evidence-based tools can be used anywhere, anytime, whether you’re at your desk, in traffic, or trying to fall asleep. They’re designed to create both immediate relief and lasting benefits.

While apps can provide guided experiences, working with a teacher helps you understand the how, when, and why of meditation. You’ll learn the science behind the practices, understand which techniques to use in different situations, and gain clarity on common misconceptions. With so many meditation options available, a teacher can help you navigate the choices and establish a foundation that makes sense for your life. Plus, you’ll receive personalized guidance and have your specific questions answered, setting you up for a sustainable practice rather than just a pleasant experience.

You’ll receive practical meditation techniques, tools for managing daily stress, guidance for establishing your practice, and strategies to deal with common challenges like racing thoughts. Whether private or group, sessions are tailored to ensure you leave feeling confident in your ability to meditate.

The cost for the 3-hour private Learn to Meditate session is $450 CAD.

I hold these sessions in person in Calgary, Alberta. I also coach people worldwide using Zoom.

I look forward to hearing from you!
