Elana Rosenbaum MS, MSW & LICSW

MBSR Pioneer, Mentor & Professional Trainer

Pioneering instructor in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, along with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli, Elana has been integrating mindfulness into daily life as a psychotherapist, certified MBSR teacher and leader in the mindfulness field since 1984. Her authority and wisdom, forged through her surviving cancer and a stem cell transplant, and her many years teaching and helping others be well, brings an authenticity and depth to her work.

Elana is sought after internationally as a mindfulness coach and consultant, speaker, and workshop and retreat leader. An expert in adapting the MBSR program to a variety of diverse environments and populations, Elana creates inspirational lectures that she enjoys sharing all over the world. She’d love to explore with you how mindfulness can be tailored for your group, organization or institution.

Consider joining Elana for her free, monthly Drop-in Group, Aging with Wisdom. The group is typically held on the 1st Thursday of each month at 11 a.m. EST/EDT.

Additionally, she is also providing weekly online meditations through Brown University and the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion. Free and open to the public, these weekly drop-in sessions are intended to support anyone interested in developing and sustaining a regular mindfulness meditation practice. This opportunity is for anyone including the curious, former students, and seasoned practitioners. Inspired by the essential principles of MBSR (Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction), each session includes guided mindfulness meditation practice and discussion on practice-related themes.
