Gianna Vallefuoco

Gianna is an artist, entrepreneur, and an overthinking human. She holds 25 years working in the construction industry, and is also an MMTCP certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Speaker, and Founder of Disability Inclusion Guild. She's known to her students as "the fidgety meditator", as she relates to the innate ruminating that can occur in the human mind. Her tiny contribution to our planet is to make it a happier place by sharing mental fitness practices around it. She uses principles from her training in mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindful Self Compassion, psychology, and fine art to help fellow humans ease the suffering in our heads. She speaks regularly to leadership teams, the police force, first responders, private companies, and in crisis intervention programs. She believes mindfulness and self compassion practices can benefit all people and industries, enhancing human connection, resilience, community-building, and even company loyalty. Gianna has spent the last ten years teaching mindfulness to unsuspecting humans across the globe. She practices living with intention, especially in her most imperfect moments, of which there are many. She believes intention steers us from the heart and saves us from the ego.
