Deb discovered the benefits of mindfulness when she was faced with a serious family crisis. Her personal practice has had a significant, positive impact on both her personal and professional life. Her success integrating mindfulness into her daily life motivated her to train to become a mindfulness teacher so that she could share this simple life-changing skill with others. In addition to her passion for yoga and mindfulness, she also has a love for science and has a M.S. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Illinois.
