About me

Mary fell in love with meditation in 1997 and practiced in a Tibetan Buddhist tradition for ten years before coming to Insight Meditation. She is one of three Co-Founders and currently the Lead Teacher of Insight Richmond, a weekly sangha in her hometown of Richmond, CA. During her 25-year career in healthcare administration, she brought her love of mindfulness to the staff and physicians in the form of weekly lunchtime sittings and talks about mindfulness and self-compassion. After a lifetime of struggling with depression prior to finding meditation, she believes strongly in the transformative power of practice to understand our own minds and to bring a greater sense of peace to ourselves and our world.

I love working with

people who take their awakening seriously, but don’t take themselves too seriously.
