You Can Heal.

There is a better way. Our proven approach will help you connect with yourself, others and the world around you with greater compassion, wisdom, and understanding.

Make It

We live in a challenging world to find peace, balance, and vibrancy.

And we believe we can find them when we activate the healing capacity of our body/mind, our community, and the natural world. Through disconnection and dysregulation of our nervous system, we get stuck in

depression, loneliness
unfulfilling relationships
addiction or compulsive behavior
anxiety, panic, worry, overwhelm
chronic pain

The Memphis Center for Mindful Living provides resources to help people move beyond feeling stuck in negative cycles and reclaim their life. We’re committed to providing you with practical tools, so you can have a life free from the things that are holding you back.

What Others are Saying About The Memphis Center for Mindful Living

I've participated in one day in person and online mindfulness retreats with Dr. Balentine, as well as a weekend retreat and many meditation sessions. She uses mindful attention to breath, food, nature, sound and movement as tools to manage and reduce stress and anxiety. Her friendly and accepting personality creates a warm, welcoming environment.

Dr. Balentine’s mindfulness class helped me reduce anxiety and better manage day-to-day stress. An added benefit has been learning to be more present in the moment and in relationships. I’d highly recommend the Memphis Center for Mindful Living!

I am remarkably pleased with the success of the Mindfulness program for our students at Maxine Smith STEAM Academy. Through grade-level assemblies, small group sessions, and weekly Mindful Moments videos, Dr. Balentine's investment in the social-emotional well-being of our students, throughout virtual learning and presently, has been invaluable for their optimism, self-esteem, and interpersonal development.
