About Us
Mindfulness Programs Australasia creates events and teaches courses where participants discover their ability to live more mindfully and with greater wellbeing, by using mindfulness practices in their daily lives. We support people to live more skillfully when challenges come their way, so they can stay grounded in their own values and experience less stress.
MPA aims to provide the gold standard in the delivery of mindfulness based programs and educational, clinical and therapeutic services for the wellbeing of our community.
MPA is a business of HomeCountry Pty Ltd. It was founded by Miranda Stephens of Psychology Matters and Christine Hiltner of Zen Wellbeing Services, and they brought their experience providing therapeutic, educational and clinical services in the areas of mental health and wellbeing into its ethos. Through MPA, Mindfulness Based programs have been delivered in local, rural and remote communities where access to empowering, person centered group programs may not be otherwise widely available.
Tracy Spencer of HomeCountry continues this tradition, bringing a heart for rural and remote Tasmania and Australia, expertise in trauma-informed therapy, and her 8 years of experience as a Mindfulness teacher for Mindfulness Programs Australasia. Our team of teachers across Tasmania, and our admin crew, will continue to deliver Mindfulness programs wherever adult Tasmanians are looking for ways to reduce stress, increase wellbeing, and live more mindfully with ourselves, eachother and the planet.
