Brendalyn Bachelor

Certified UM Trainer/Teacher

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I enjoy supporting, nourishing and inspiring others to be all they can be. In addition to being a UM Teacher/Trainer, I am a licensed professional counselor, spiritual director, HeartMath Coach, whole plant food nutrition coach, and ordained interspiritual minister who embraces universal spiritual practices and teachings.

I enjoy traveling in my VW Eurovan Camper (VanGo)). This is very fitting as I do my utmost to mindfully live, deepen, and express my spirituality “where the rubber meets the road.” I believe it doesn’t matter so much what anyone believes or says; what matters is how we walk our talk in everything we think, say and do.

Sharon Barb O’Connor

Certified UM Trainer/Teacher

I have maintained a regular meditation practice for over 10 years and have been working with students interested mindfulness meditation and meditative practices the past four years. My shift to mindfulness meditation practice comes out of experiences as a nurse in the critical care arena, and then in private practice as a psychologist; the need for mindfulness practice through hard times was evident. It was much later in my journey that I began to ask how mindfulness meditation might benefit us in good times, positively impact our immune system and strengthen that sense of well-being. I was curious-strong and looked for mindfulness meditative training and education from programs well established in science and evidence based practice.

To the practice of Mindfulness Meditation, I carry a background of nursing(RN), and then a shift, mid-career to psychology and private practice as a Psychologist. These fields both have a common thread of life’s cycling, from birth to death and dying. Now at this phase of my life, I’m continuing to work with issues of letting go, loss and grief, drawing upon Mindfulness Meditative practices. This interest in letting go, loss and grief, comes not only from being a part of others going through death, dying and loss in clinical settings, but also…from my own experience of suffering-in letting go and saying Goodbye. I offer my hand to you in your journey, if you wish support with this process.
