Speaking

Mindfulness in the Heartland’s founder, Amy Zoe Schonhoff, is available to speak on a range of topics pertaining to mindfulness—the following are a few examples.

If you would like to learn more about our public speaking services or discuss content development for a specific audience, please use our contact page.

Mindfulness in the Workplace

Having spent several years working as a human resources professional, Amy has seen firsthand the need for, and benefits of, incorporating mindfulness practices in the workplace. For many, the workplace is not only the place where they earn a living, but is also where they evolve their professional practice, form relationships, and serve the world with their skills, knowledge, and abilities. Research continues to document the positive impact mindfulness practices can have not only on health and well-being, but also its ability to increase performance and cooperation.

Mindfulness in Schools

Stress is something we all have to learn to deal with in life—and in fact, some stress can be healthy. In many schools, however, administrators, educators and children are trying to manage chronic stress with few resources at their disposal. Over forty years of empirical evidence suggests that mindfulness-based interventions can help both adults and children not only manage stress but also improve attention, emotional regulation, immune system functioning, adaptability, compassion and resilience. Introducing mindfulness practices to the classroom, can support teachers in their professional work while also providing children the life skills they need to navigate the world with greater confidence. 

Mindful Parenting

In the American Psychological Association’s most recent Stress in America survey, parents reported a more challenging relationship with stress than the average American. In addition to the stress-reducing benefits that mindfulness has been empirically shown to provide, recent research also suggests that families with a parent practicing mindfulness have children who experience less stress. Cultivating moment-to-moment nonjudgmental awareness through mindfulness practices can foster greater parental self-regulation, develop the capacity to recognize and respond to a child’s needs based on their unique temperament while promoting compassion for both parent and child. 

What people have to say….

Amy Schonhoff with Mindfulness in the Heartland is an amazing presenter! CommunityAmerica scheduled her to present as a part of our Virtual Lunch & Learn Series. The event was a huge success and everyone LOVED IT! Amy did an incredible job presenting and keeping the group engaged. She provided great tips and ideas to apply mindfulness into our lives along with an informative and engaging presentation. We truly appreciate the time, care, and passion Amy poured into creating this event. We also appreciated greatly the “5 Strategies for Managing Stress”  that she created and shared with us as a follow up to all participants. We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to have Amy present to our people and help them learn to apply mindfulness strategies in their own lives. I would highly recommend Amy Schonhoff with Mindfulness in the Heartland and we look forward to partnering with her again in the future.

As the Health & Wellness Coach of TVH Americas, my goal is to empower and enlighten others on how to live healthier lifestyles. Recently, Amy Zoe Schonhoff presented on Mindful Eating. Amy’s calm voice and presentation provided participants with thought provoking insight and solutions for real life situations. She made a strong case for being mindful and intentional with foods you put in your body and addressed several factors that contribute to mindless eating. I look forward to having her present more classes on Mindfulness and recommend Mindfulness in the Heartland to others. In our incredibly fast paced world, people need to learn how being mindful can be the answer to many physical and emotional health issues. Two Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
