Hi and Welcome
The founder of Grow Kind Mind is Lila Danis. She is a wellness coach and group facilitator who has a M.Sc in Psychology and Honours B.Sc in Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behaviour. She is also a Certified Senior Breath-Body-Mind Teacher and Certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Facilitator. She has additional training in Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, to better support those with trauma histories. Previously, Lila worked with the Canadian Space Agency and international space partners, providing psychological support to Canada's first long-duration crew member aboard the International Space Station.
Currently, Lila designs and facilitates wellness programs for businesses and non-profit organizations in addition to individual coaching.
Lila comes to this work after overcoming many years of significant illness that left her bed-bound. Finding Eastern medicine techniques (such as mindfulness, meditation and Reiki) supported her in regaining her health and quality of life. Lila combines her lived experience with scientifically supported training to teach others tools and skills they can use to help regulate their nervous systems and support their health and wellness.
Lila is studying with The MIND Foundation’s Augmented Psychotherapy Training program to become a Certified Psychedelic Integration Coach and Co-therapist. Lila is pursuing additional training in modalities of wellness that support and facilitate nervous system regulation and the growth of wellness and health belief systems.
