Mindfulness is a mental state that focuses on awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s own thoughts and body sensations. Mindfulness has mental, physical, and emotional benefits and studies have shown it helps reduce stressors. Mindfulness improves cognitive functioning, lowers blood pressure, helps digest food, reduces cell damage in the body, decreases symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Hello, I’m Christopher Sanchez Lascurain, MSW, LCSW, a licensed somatic therapist who takes a humanistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach to help individuals learn practical self-regulation techniques for managing stress, anxiety, and burnout. I specialize in mindfulness-based and body-centered interventions—grounding, breathwork, and creative somatic exercises—that empower empathic professionals to reconnect with their bodies, transform unhelpful patterns, and live more balanced, fulfilling lives.
