Michelle Eckles is a qualified and accredited Mindfulness Meditation teacher and owner of Meditation Sunshine Coast. She has been teaching mindfulness meditation programs and workshops to kids, teens and adults since 2018. She has completed qualifications in Guiding and Teaching Meditation (Australian Centre for Mindfulness and Meditation), Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training (Gawler Foundation) and Mindfulness for Peak Performance (Monash), as well as various courses for working with kids and teens. She is a member of the Australian Meditation Association and Mindful.org.
Like most people Michelle began meditating during a particularly challenging time in her life — completely overwhelmed and about to hit rock bottom. Meditation helped her bounce back to lead a far more peaceful and balanced life, as well as find clarity, focus and direction. As a single parent of two teens, carer to her grandmother, and an events manager pre COVID, she understands high pressure roles, work and family related stress and the impact it can have on our health and relationships.
She is now dedicated to educating others on the benefits of mindfulness and meditation to not only reduce and prevent stress and anxiety, but to also create empathy and compassion, so we can be kinder to ourselves and others. She enjoys bringing the practical applications of mindfulness to the workplace and home, to demonstrate the profound mental, emotional and physical benefits it can have in our day to day life.
