Charlottesville, VA, USA

She has presented “Mindfulness in Schools – Educating and Empowering Our Children” to many local, statewide and national audiences. She has received her mindfulness training through Mindful Schools, having completed a year-long certification course with 100 other people across the globe.

She became interested in the idea of mindfulness in 2010, when she attended her first Mindfulness in Education conference at American University in Washington D.C. “I wanted to explore ways that children and teachers could learn to focus their bodies and minds in order to get the most out of an academic setting,” Albertson-Wren commented.

​Mindfulness practice allows for greater concentration, productivity, resiliency, self-control and sense of happiness. “We should be offering this type of training to everyone,” she believes.
