About Mindful Restoration

MINDFUL RESTORATION PLLC BELIEVES THAT WHEN A PERSON LEARNS A NEW STRATEGY FOR ENGAGING AND RESPONDING TO OTHERS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE STRATEGY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED INTO ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE PERSON'S LIFE. IF YOU LEARN A STRATEGY FOR OVERCOMING A CHALLENGE, YOU WANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSLATE IT INTO YOUR WORK, SOCIAL LIFE, FAMILY INTERACTIONS, AND LIFE CHOICES. WHAT GOOD
IS A STRATEGY IF IT IS ONLY ALLOWING US TO COPE OR DEAL WITH STRESS RATHER THAN PARTICIPATE IN CREATING THE LIFESTYLE WE DESIRE? WE CANNOT CONTROL THE CHOICES OF OTHERS NOR CAN WE CHOOSE HOW LIFE WILL UNFOLD, HOWEVER, OUR RESPONSES TO OTHERS AND OUR ENVIRONMENT LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR OWN LIFESTYLE. THE APPROACHES AND INTERVENTIONS WE UTILIZE TARGET JUST THAT...THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR LIFESTYLE.

WE GOT OUR START BY PROVIDING CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, AND OUTDOOR RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT INTEGRATED MINDFULLNESS BASED PRACTICES INTO THE EXPERIENCE. THE MINDFUL PRACTICES ARE DESIGNED TO EXPLORE AND EVALUATE HOW A PERSON RESPONDS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND PEOPLE. THEN TOGETHER, WE DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING OR COMPLETELY CHANGING RESPONSES THAT ALIGN WITH BELIEFS, VALUES, AND DESIRES FOR A MORE FULFILLING LIFE.

WE'RE STILL DOING THAT, WE'RE JUST DOING MORE. MINDFUL RESTORATION PROVIDES THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND GROUPS, PROVIDES NEUROFEEDBACK ASSESSMENTS AND TRAINING AS WELL AS BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING, AND WE FACILITATE MIND-BODY SKILLS GROUPS. MINDFUL RESTORATION ISROOTED IN AN ECOPSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECITVE AND IS DEDICATED TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, CONSERVATION, AND PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

*MINDFUL RESTORATION IS RECOGNIZED BY THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AS A WOMAN-OWNED, VETERAN-OWNED, SMALL BUSINESS.
