RestSMART: An Ongoing Mindfulness & Meditation Program Serving Our Community

RestSMART is an ongoing meditation and mindfulness initiative I’m proud to be in partnership with People’s Community Action Corporation.

RestSMART was created to bring mindfulness out of theory and into real life. This program is about offering practical, easy-to-use tools that support people where they are—emotionally, mentally, and physically—especially during challenging or uncertain times.

As part of this partnership, we currently offer a weekly mindfulness session open to the community:

📍 People’s Community Action Corporation

6827 S. Broadway St.

St. Louis, MO 63111

🗓 Every Thursday morning

⏰ 10:00 AM

These sessions have become a consistent space for pause, grounding, and connection—no prior meditation experience required.

What Is RestSMART?

RestSMART is a community-centered mindfulness and meditation program designed to help individuals develop simple, accessible tools for navigating:

🌿 Stress

🌿 Depression

🌿 Anxiety

🌿 Emotional challenges

🌿 Crisis situations

Through guided meditations, mindfulness practices, and restorative techniques, participants learn skills they can return to again and again. The focus isn’t on doing things “perfectly”—it’s on creating moments of calm, clarity, and resilience in everyday life.

Mindfulness That Meets People Where They Are

RestSMART is intentionally designed to be approachable. The practices shared are grounded, realistic, and adaptable—meant to support real people living real lives. Each session offers an opportunity to slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with a sense of inner stability.

This partnership with People’s Community Action Corporation represents a shared commitment to wellness, healing, and resilience for the individuals and families they serve.
