She began practicing Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), as developed at the University of Massachusetts, in 1987, and in 2000, completed the highest level of training offered in this field (the Teacher Development Intensive). She has led Mind-Body groups for the past 15 years, including groups for people with chronic pain, for HIV positive persons, for those with chronic illness, and for those with a variety of stress-related concerns; in 2000 she conducted a pilot clinical trial at NIH for persons with a hereditary connective tissue disorder involving chronic pain. She currently contributes significantly to our research and clinical efforts in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), offers classes for the general public, continuing education for health professionals, training for medical students.
