Jean Leonard, PhD, is a white, heterosexual, cisgender female, an able-bodied licensed psychologist, a certified Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) teacher, and a Buddhist ecochaplain in private practice in Colorado. She has practiced yoga for 30 years, vipassana meditation since 2003, and teaches MSC and MBSR classes and other mindfulness offerings in-person and online.
Particular interests include women in the dharma; mindfulness related to aging, illness, and dying; ecodharma; and cultivating the heart for difficult times. Clinical specialties include grief and loss, trauma, work-life balance, and chronic illness/health challenges. After mentoring the last two cohorts, She is delighted to return to MMTCP. I take a developmental approach to mentoring and love supporting Mentees in discovering their authentic teaching voice. I think we learn best when there is a measure of ease, enjoyment, patience, humor, and a healthy dose of self-compassion. I look forward to having the honor of joining you for the adventure of MMTCP.
