About Kusum

I am Kusum Mongia.

I am a mindfulness teacher/facilitator.  I have been a mindfulness practitioner since 2014 and my personal experience with mindfulness encourages me to share what I have learnt about this practice.  I share mindfulness tools with the primary purpose of increasing wellbeing in the communities we engage in.

I have an MSc (with Distinction) in Mindfulness Based Approaches from Bangor University in Wales, UK.  I have a Certificate for Readiness to Teach ‘Mindfulness at Workplace’ from Oxford Mindfulness Centre at the University of Oxford in England, UK.  I am also certified to teach .b mindfulness course (offered by MiSP, Mindfulness in Schools Project) to 11-18 year olds in a school environment.

I follow the Good Practice Guidelines set for mindfulness teachers in UK.

I currently reside in Surrey, UK.  In my prior life, I have lived, studied and worked in India and in the USA.  I have an undergraduate degree in Electronics Engineering from University of Delhi, India and an MBA from University of Chicago, IL, USA.  Professionally, I have also worked as a software engineer (Unisys Corp.) and a corporate strategist (McKinsey & Co., Motorola Inc.) on multiple continents before arriving at my current home in mindfulness.

I invite you to explore and experiment with the secular practice of mindfulness and see how it unfolds in your life!
