Kelly Barron has been practicing mindfulness for more than 20 years. As a former staff writer for Forbes magazine, Kelly came to understand the value of mindfulness as a deadline-driven reporter.

She's now passionate about sharing what she's learned with others.

Kelly has a B.A. in philosophy and a M.A. in Journalism. She's certified to facilitate mindfulness through the UCLA's Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Behavior and is an instructor for UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center.
