Why Mindfulness

Mindfulness is no longer “alternative” care. A fast-growing and extensive body of scientific research shows that mindfulness practice makes people healthier, which improves their productivity at work, medical costs, and quality of life.

Hundreds of studies have shown mindfulness to be effective in reducing stress, and in moderating stress-related behaviors such as smoking, overeating, and self-medicating that lead to costly health problems.

With modifiable health risk factors accounting for one fourth of total employer health expenditures, it’s time for a new approach.
