My Story
Meet Susan Garcia
Hi, I'm Susan Garcia! I am the founder and creator of Mindful Me ® and I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am the mother of two adult children who continue to fill me with pride and love. I am a daughter, sister, a friend. I am also a dedicated educator with passionate goals and vision, constantly seeking ways to improve my craft and inspire my own learning and development.
My mindfulness journey began just a few years ago when I decided to take my first solo trip to Asia. It was as if Indonesia was wrapped in a blanket
of love, warmth, and gratitude. It was there that I began to connect with nature and myself. Since then, I've allowed myself to let my heart lead the way. I've committed myself to being heart-centered on the inside, and inspired to the core.

The Vision
What began with children’s story times has slowly grown
into something even more powerful.
Living mindfully is about being present in the moment. Self awareness allows us to feel deeply, in an instant. It is recognizing and acknowledging emotional and physical sensations in the moment that they occur. Mindfulness helps us to have realizations, and self-manage as we move forward. It can also help us unearth our passions. Sometimes mindfulness is practiced alone through connection to breath, sometimes it can be through exhilarating experiences, or during interactions with others, allowing us to absorb and become inspired. I am so excited to watch you "get your mindfulness on" and experience mindfulness in a whole new way!
Mindful Me ® is an opportunity to experience calm, activate creativity, build confidence, and find connection from the inside-out. Each workshop is sparked by a powerful literary piece and designed with love and purpose.
