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 Brochure (pdf)
