We are seeking a warm, highly reliable, trauma-informed Mindfulness & Wellness Skills Coach with strong training in pranayama/breathwork, yoga-informed mindfulness, and health coaching. The ideal candidate combines excellent communication skills, cultural humility, professional boundaries, and the ability to connect authentically with U.S.-based adult patients.
