mindfulness in the heartland

Welcome

I’m Amy Zoe Schonhoff, a certified mindfulness teacher, experienced speaker, and founder of Mindfulness in the Heartland.

I teach individuals and groups how to cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, compassion, and inner wisdom using the empowering practices and principles of mindfulness.

With more than 30 years of practicing and exploring the contemplative origin of mindfulness, I believe we all have the capacity to heal and reconnect to our inherent sense of goodness, worthiness, purpose and knowing. 

I earned my Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher certification through the world-renowned Mindfulness Center at Brown University, a premier mindfulness training for secular teachers created by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn. I’m also certified in Advanced Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. Learn more here.

What I Do

Through Mindfulness in the Heartland, I provide education and training in mindfulness, meditation, and mindfulness-based programs. I offer instruction, classes, presentations, retreats, and community practice opportunities, in Kansas City and throughout the region.
