Top Mindfulness and Meditation Coaches Experts 2025

I am Michael O'Brien, a certified executive coach, speaker, and author with over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry. I help executive leaders and teams drive better results tomorrow than today by changing lives through trusted executive leadership and teamwork.As the Chief Ripple Officer at Pause Breathe Reflect, I also help individuals and organizations expand their awareness, sharpen their focus, and approach life with equanimity. I believe that mindfulness is a symbol and a pathway to more success at work and in life. I draw on my personal story of overcoming a near-fatal cycling accident and shifting my perspective to fuel my recovery and create a better tomorrow. I share my insights and strategies through my book, Shift, and my keynote speeches, workshops, and podcasts. My mission is to create positive ripples in the world and inspire others to do the same.

I’ve always been seen as “the strong one.” The high-achieving woman who figures it out. Leads well. Performs well. Keeps going. But after two C-sections, postpartum depression, and the quiet grief that comes when life doesn’t follow the plan, you stop. You question. You sit in limbo between who you were and who you’re becoming. That limbo is where I do my work. I’m a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Coach and the creator of Sacred Self-Leadership™, a method for high-achieving mothers who are navigating the emotional weight of birth trauma, unexpected diagnoses, or identity shifts. I help them find their way back to their voice, clarity, and leadership, without performance masks or mom guilt. Through my V.O.I.C.E.™ Method, I guide women to become deeply self-led. Not by bypassing their emotions, but by honoring them. My work lives at the intersection of emotional precision, spiritual depth, and grounded leadership. The mothers I work with often appear successful on paper, but inside? They’re holding grief no one sees. They’re leading families, teams, and businesses while carrying invisible emotional loads. I teach them how to lead themselves first. That’s where true power begins. What makes my approach different is that I don’t separate motherhood from leadership. I don’t separate birth stories from business stories. I see them as a sacred thread, and I help women integrate their personal evolution into how they show up in the world. I speak and write on: - Emotional clarity in leadership - The unspoken grief of high-functioning motherhood - Decision-making for women in emotional limbo - Identity evolution after unexpected life events - The future of feminine leadership is rooted in story, not struggle My mission is to normalize emotional permission in motherhood, not as a soft skill, but as a leadership asset. When a mother learns how to lead herself again, she doesn’t just heal, she changes how she leads everything. This is the work I wish I had. Now it’s the work I’m honored to lead.

Since 1995, Gayathri Narayanan, founder of Myndtree.org, has explored how the world’s wisdom traditions can bring balance, compassion, and clarity into modern life. Before founding Myndtree, she built a successful career in healthcare technology, leading teams and initiatives that advanced patient care and organizational well-being. Yet her early exposure to her guru’s teachings planted a seed of deeper inquiry, one that grew stronger over time, calling her toward a life grounded in wisdom teachings and service. Answering that inner call, Gayathri stepped away from her corporate path to devote herself fully to spiritual practice and to guiding others on their own journeys. Her contemplative path is shaped by immersion in the Advaita (non-dualistic) traditions of Hindu philosophy, and in Theravada, Zen, and Dzogchen lineages of Buddhism, where she continues to study the nature of mind, compassion, and liberation across traditions. She has trained as a nonviolent parenting educator through Echo Parenting & Education in Los Angeles and certified as a mindfulness meditation teacher with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. As a mother of two, Gayathri’s lived experience of nurturing awareness and patience within family life deeply informs her work. She integrates these everyday lessons of relationship, impermanence, and love into teachings that honor both the sacred and the ordinary. Gayathri founded Myndtree as a welcoming space where people at any age or stage can explore mindfulness meditation, heart-centered parenting practices, and interspiritual teachings. Today she brings together her analytical insight and contemplative depth to illuminate the meeting point between mindfulness and modern living. Her secular and inclusive style draws from great wisdom texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Ātmopadeśa Śatakam, Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, Lotus Sūtra, and Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, inviting learners of all backgrounds to explore how awareness can transform each moment and awaken our shared humanity.
