Rebecca pioneered teaching MBSR Live Online at the UMass Center for Mindfulness, and recently co-founded East Coast Mindfulness, where she continues to develop programs to teach MBSR and train MBSR teachers in ways that invite students from all over the world to interact fully, in real time, with each other and the teacher in the space of their own home. East Coast Mindfulness now offers the first and only training program resulting in certification in teaching MBSR online: Train to Teach MBSR Live Online.
