Dee DiGioia

After working with youth for over 35 years, including special education, Dee DiGioia founded Mindful Kindful YOUniversity (MK YOU) to offer Mindfulness-based Social-Emotional Learning Enrichment Programs intentionally designed to address the challenges youth, and adults, face in school, and in life, which interfere with learning/working, relationships, and mental well-being. MK YOU equips and teaches children, teens, and adults HOW to cultivate the inner resources for coping with these challenges by providing a rich experience through learning and engaging in practices of mindfulness and movement grounded in science and backed by research to support mental and physical health and well-being while developing the essential life skills of emotional intelligence, or “Sm’Heart skills” — for responding more skillfully to life in the 21st Century! Having worked in the public school setting over the years, Dee believes mindfulness-based social emotional programs are the missing piece (and peace) in our schools and in our communities today. MK YOU PROGRAMS/SERVICES: MK YOU programs are offered for youth, teens, and adults throughout SLO County, including and in the Los Osos home office on 4th Street: personal coaching; community programs; school programs; consulting; professional & personal development training/workshops; and mini-retreats. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION: Let’s consider ways to collaborate and work together to bring the vision of mental health and well-being to our Los Osos Baywood Park community. Host, sponsor, suggest, or sponsor any of our programs (above) in your community facility/office, workplace, or organization or mine!
