Welcome to Your Compassionate Self

The journey home is rarely a smooth one. Coming home to one’s true self can be a bumpy ride, frought with twists and turns, calm passages or turbulent waters. However, the route to finding “Your Compassionate Self” can be smoother and easier with the right guide.

Robin Beardsley MD is that guide.

She brings her wealth of knowledge, training and experience to you so that you may find ease on your journey. Robin walks the walk of self-compassion, and is a beacon of love and light teaching others to shine the light that is already theirs.

In Robin’s courses, workshops and retreats you will have opportunities to learn to be present for yourself, to turn toward your inner world with curiosity rather than criticism. You will be given tools that encourage the practice of Mindful Self Compassion. Tools that can be used in your everyday life.

Whether you are a caregiver or need to care for yourself in a more loving and compassionate way you can learn from Robin. Let Robin be your guide as you navigate your journey home.

May you find what you are looking for.
May you find your compassionate self.
May you come home to who you really are.
May you feel safe.
May you have ease.
~ Robin
