About
The Mindful Prof offers approaches to more mindful ways of being. This includes integrative somatic work such as massage, coaching, sound therapy, hypnosis, reiki, etc.
One of our special offerings that The Mindful Prof provides is mindful somatic coaching- where mindfulness and coaching meet. In mindfulness, we learn to shift from doing mode into being mode. The ‘doing mode’ is typically characterized by stories, thinking, oriented towards past or future, automatic pilot and reactions or impulses. ‘Being mode’ on the other hand entails concepts like process, feelings, orientation to the here and now, intention and creative choice.
We incorporate varied modalities and have different coaches applying and facilitating somatic, contemplative, and mindful ways of being- through coaching models or bodywork services. Please check out the resources on our site, and we are here to support your journey.
Finally, it’s important to note this work is not psychotherapy. Although we do primarily use dialogue and awareness as a tool, the intent is not to diagnose any mental health condition, but to develop your body’s growing abilities to handle stress and respond effectively and comfortably to life’s ups and downs.
The Mindful Prof is a trusted associate of multiple therapy practices within Central Florida. We are comfortable and experienced in discussing clinical material with mental health professionals with respect to confidentiality and client care.
We are here for you along your journey toward wholeness.
Sincerely, Dr. K and The Mindful Prof Team

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Personalized Somatic Coaching:
Research has shown somatic coaching and contemplative practices are beneficial for self-regulation and increasing pro-social behavior. Although these practices have shown benefit, often, many may find them challenging in beginning something new or maybe they do not know where to start. What can be beneficial in such cases is having someone experienced, guide you through to either teach the basics, personalize a contemplative plan based on what they would like to work on, and offer guidance when uncertain or encountering difficulties.
My desire is to implement a holistic practice that is accessible, honors the varied lineages of where contemplation stems from, and aligns with what the client is looking for. Practices vary and may be movement based, contemplative, rooted in cross-cultural traditions, and aid in pro-social behaviors such as compassion and altruism. We’ll work together one-on-one to help you manage your stress, take care of yourself, and bring some peace and calm to your days. Can be done in person or online.
Somatic Relationships (for couples or any relationship dynamic):
Research has suggested that mindfulness may help sustain and improve relationships. Allowing fuller presence in relationships, building trust and intimacy, creating compassion and gratitude, mindful listening and communication skills all may facilitate relationship dynamics.
For those that are interested in integrating contemplative practices into their partnership, sessions will be designed to cultivate intimacy through the use of compassion, empathy, and emotional regulation. This type of contemplative coaching is especially useful for couples.
