What makes us different
Experience that’s field-tested
We’ve been training mindfulness in first responders since the beginning—working side by side with police, fire, EMS, and public safety teams. We listen deeply to the lived experiences of those we serve and continually adapt our methods to reflect that insight and the evolving science of human performance and resilience.
Credentials that matter
Our trainers are certified mindfulness teachers and professional coaches with rigorous academic training and deep personal practice. Many also hold additional professional certifications.
Backgrounds that resonate
Several of us have decades of experience in law enforcement and the military. Others bring expertise from athletics, martial arts, psychotherapy, coaching, and research. We understand operational stress—and how to train for clarity, recovery, and purpose.
Research-informed and actively engaged
We collaborate with leading universities on research related to mindfulness and resilience. Some of our team serve as affiliate faculty at major research institutions.
Committed to evolution, not status quo
We believe growth comes through challenge. We’re not here to fix you—we’re here to walk with you as you explore what’s possible when awareness, skill, and purpose aligned.
What sets our curriculum apart
Stress & Trauma Competency
We recognize that stress and trauma are part of the job—and part of life. We promote an adaptive mindset and train skills that help individuals face occupational stress and trauma with clarity, accountability, and purpose. We coined the term stress & trauma competency to reflect a practical, evidence-based approach to performing well under pressure and recovering with intention. This isn’t about avoidance—it’s about capacity and adaptation.
Mindfulness: Gritty and Operationalized
We teach the science of attention and compassion—without the fluff. Our mindfulness training is tactical, gritty, and demanding.
Cultural Competence
We speak the language of first responders and trauma professionals because many of us have lived it. We’ve worked through the operational and administrative challenges of high-stakes environments. We translate neuroscience and human performance in ways that are accessible, grounded, and relevant—wherever you are in your journey.
Forward Evolution
Our mission is to support the forward evolution of public safety culture around occupational stress and trauma. That requires courage, tension, and honesty. We facilitate curiosity, compassion, and conversations about trauma, masculinity, humanity, and ethos of service. Together, we explore more adaptive ways of being and leading in complex, high-pressure worlds.
Informed by Research
We’re embedded in the science. Our team contributes to ongoing research in public safety and mindfulness, and we stay current with the latest findings. We translate emerging evidence into operational tools that are immediately applicable in the field—and we evolve our curriculum accordingly.
