In today’s episode of the podcast, we are joined by Jamie Smith, a contemplative science educator and trauma-informed embodied awareness guide. In our chat, she shares her journey of becoming passionate about caring for those who care for others and how she teaches them that self-care is truly essential to prevent burnout in their professions.

Jamie was introduced to yoga and meditation 22 years ago at her secondary school in Sewanee, Tennessee, and completed her first yoga teacher training in 2010 before receiving her B.A. in Psychology. She has experience teaching survivors of domestic violence, people recovering from addiction, veterans, those with chronic and/or terminal illness, caregivers, children, healthcare providers, end-of-life caregivers and family, and first responders.

Jamie is passionate about sharing mind-body coping skills with frontliners. Recently, she launched an online course called Deep Relaxation for Frontliners, which can be found on her website.
