ABOUT US
Char Wilkins, MSW, LCSW is a mindfulness-based
psychotherapist who specializes in working with
stress-related physical and emotional issues, women who
have experience childhood abuse and trauma, and those
who suffer with disordered eating. Her focus is the
dynamic connection of mind, body and spirit, and in
assisting people to mindfully create emotional,
physical, and spiritual health in their lives. She is
trained to teach MBSR, MBCT, MB-EAT and Eating Awareness
programs for those who struggle with food, eating issues
and weight and want to bring their relationship with food
into a place of balance in their life. Since 2001 she has
offered these research-support programs that are based
in mindfulness practice.
Char also trains professionals in the application of
mindfulness in psychotherapy, advanced MBCT skills,
MB-EAT training, and integrative mindfulness weekend
programs. She has taught at Omega Institute, Joshua Tree
Retreat Center, Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, NASW
conferences and local hospitals. She provides
consultation in the use of mindfulness in professional
settings. Char is co-founder of the Hartford area
mindfulness-based teachers collective and she currently
serves as President of
The Center for
Mindful Eating.
Char works with people who simply feel their lives are
out of balance - too busy, unable to make decisions, all
work and no play, or disconnected from loved ones and their
passion, to people who suffer from anxiety, panic and
depression, addictions, binge eating and bulimia,
migraines, cancer, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, IBS, heart
disease and high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep
disturbances and much more.
A Mindful Path, LLC was created to provide programs that allow
people the opportunity to explore ways to live mindfully.
Mindfulness is learning to pay attention in a
non-judgmental way, in the present moment to our thoughts,
emotions and physical sensations, which in turn, allows us the possibility of
choosing how to respond rather than react to people and
events in our lives. Being mindful is a way to connect your
mind and body so that you can fully engage in life, enjoy
each day, and take care of yourself. Many of the programs that are offered are designed for the
general public and others address specific needs such as
disordered eating, anxiety and depression. At the heart of
all of these programs are researched-based mindfulness
meditations and exercises that you can use the rest of your
life. Mindful Path
