Mindful Boundaries Mentorship

The Mindful Boundaries Mentorship is a personalized group experience designed to offer consistent support as you bring the practices from Fierce Boundaries into your life and work.

The mentorship is designed to support your Mindful Boundaries Journey and bring greater accountability to your commitment to your wellbeing. You’ll carve out time and space each month to slow down, practice mindfulness, and explore boundary-setting challenges, relationships, coping strategies, communication, and thought patterns that are unfolding in your life in real time.

Twice-Monthly Group Mentorship Sessions

We’ll meet twice each month for 60 minutes via Zoom for guided practice, teaching, conversation, reflection, and group coaching.

These gatherings create space to bring the course material into conversation with real life. Sessions may include mindfulness and grounding practices, exploration of current challenges, group coaching, and special topics responsive to what is arising within the group.

Recordings will be available for review.

Monthly 1-1 Coaching

You’ll also receive a 60-minute private session with Dr. Cynthia Garner each month. These sessions offer dedicated space to explore the relationships, patterns, decisions, professional challenges, or personal questions that deserve more individualized attention. Together, we can slow things down, notice what is happening beneath habitual responses, and explore what it looks like to meet your experience with greater presence, discernment, and choice.

Who This Is For

The Mindful Boundaries Mentorship is designed for people whose lives and work involve caring for, teaching, supporting, healing, advocating for, or leading others. You may already have a strong mindfulness, therapeutic, somatic, or contemplative practice. You may spend much of your professional life supporting other people's growth and wellbeing. You may understand boundaries intellectually while recognizing places where your own patterns continue to ask for attention.

You may be readying yourself for a big change, taking on a leadership role, or have decided to commit fully to your own practice, prioritize wellbeing, and offer yourself sustained attention and care.

This mentorship is particularly well suited for therapists, educators, coaches, healthcare and helping professionals, community leaders, activists, and others working in emotionally demanding environments. It is a space to strengthen your capacity to remain present and in choice while continuing to engage wholeheartedly with the people and work that matter to you.

A Small, Relational Container

Mindful Boundaries is ultimately a relational practice.

We discover our boundaries in relationship. We encounter our habitual patterns in relationship. And we often need safe, thoughtful relationships in which to practice something new. Enrollment is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy and relational quality of the group. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis as space becomes available. The small-group format allows us to learn from one another while creating enough space for individual questions, reflection, conversation, and meaningful connection.

About Dr. Cynthia Garner

Dr. Cynthia Garner is a mindfulness teacher, author, educator, and somatic coach whose work explores the intersection of mindfulness, nervous system awareness, embodiment, and healthy boundaries.

She is the author of Fierce Boundaries: Practical Skills and Somatic Exercises for Healing in a Traumatized World and the creator of Mindful Boundaries Foundations. Her approach draws on decades of experience in education and trauma-informed mind-body approaches to healing, along with extensive training through UC San Diego School of Medicine, the Centre for Mindfulness Studies, Mindful Schools, Inward Bound Mindfulness Education, and the Hakomi Institute. At the center of her work are two essential questions:

What is here?

How can I best relate to what is arising?

The mentorship creates space to return to those questions again and again, allowing your answers to emerge through practice, embodiment, reflection, and relationship.
