Mindfulness / Meditation Coaching
Change your mind. Change your life.
by Ahnate Lim
My Journey
My path to mindfulness and meditation began in childhood, shaped both by my Thai Buddhist heritage and by my mother's family's tradition of missionary service, with its emphasis on compassion, service, and caring for others. It wasn't until I attended my first meditation retreat, however, that I truly committed to the practice. At a turning point in my life—on the brink of parenthood—I found myself seeking greater clarity, stability, and purpose. That retreat marked the beginning of a profound transformation, teaching me that growth is not an overnight achievement but a lifelong process of learning, unfolding, and becoming.
Through dedicated daily practice and further retreats, I experienced deep personal growth, inner peace, and a greater sense of happiness and resilience. Meditation has fundamentally changed my life, helping me overcome obstacles and cultivate a more grounded, compassionate way of being. Now, I am passionate about sharing these benefits with others, guiding them on their own journey towards and greater well-being and self/non-self actualization.

My Approach
Shinzen Young / Julianna Raye's Unified Mindfulness –
A wonderfully integrated, research-backed, modern system of meditation for cultivating present-moment awareness and happiness.
The Plum Village Tradition –
More recently, my family and I have become inspired by the teachings of the Plum Village community. We have been practicing with Deer Park Monastery in Southern California through community offerings and the Happy Families Change the World course, and hope to become involved with the new Thich Nhat Hanh School of Interbeing community as it develops.
