I Am Mandy Murphy

Although you may not know or feel it, you already have everything you need for a content and purposeful life within you – it just may have gotten buried or feels out of reach.

Mindfulness practices have played a critical role in my life as I navigate relationships, parenting, my career, grief, and the constant change of life. I believe that:
  • Living an aligned life takes presence, courage, strength, and a whole lot of compassion!
  • Our bodies hold deep wisdom.
  • (Big, small, and all relative) Loss is frequent and everywhere. Grief is unique to each person and to be honored for its power.
  • Mindfulness is critical to dropping beneath the noise of the world to listen intently to the wiser part of us within.
  • Formal mindfulness practices feed the informal, everyday practices.
  • We are hardwired for connection (Brené Brown), and the depth of our connection with others is only as real and deep as the connection we have with ourselves.
  • Nature’s salve is like none other.
  • A spark on the Divine (or whatever your name is for “something bigger”) is within each of us.

More About Mandy

In 2007, it became clear to me that my life’s work is to live and love from my wise, deeper self and help others do the same. I am a committed student of mindfulness and a curious, authenticity seeker – and have been for over 25 years. I have experienced sustained grief and get (sometimes very loud) nudges that my life’s work involves supporting people’s journeys with loss, using mindfulness to gently walk through the emotions, instead of the many unhealthy ways we try to avoid or numb away from the discomfort grief brings to our lives.

Some Kind Words

Working with Mandy was extremely helpful to all aspects of my life. Rather than being prescriptive, she allowed me the space and environment to find my truth, and my own answers. She led me through a process of getting in touch with my own voice and finding my internal compass. I was able to find and tap into a calmer space inside of myself to better juggle a very busy life with a lot of demands on my time and energy. I became more patient with my family and perhaps more importantly, with myself. The lessons I learned continue to resonate today.
