Ingrid has been facilitating MBSR through OpenGround since 2018. She has taught mindfulness and yoga in diverse settings, including schools, hospitals, youth refuges, workplaces, and the broader community. She has also offered MBSR through the University of Melbourne as a teacher in residence. Ingrid is particularly passionate about supporting people emotionally in response to climate change. Through her work with Psychology for a Safe Climate, she has co-facilitated workshops, courses, and Climate Cafés.
Her work focuses on helping people meet emotional difficulty with greater awareness and compassion, supporting individuals and groups to build inner resources to navigate stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and the emotional realities of living in a changing world. Her approach is informed by both her personal journey and professional experience as an MBSR teacher, psychotherapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and ACT, social worker, and yoga therapist/teacher. Known for her genuine, down-to-earth style, Ingrid makes mindfulness practical and relatable, offering an embodied, compassionate presence that supports people to integrate practice into their lives in meaningful and sustainable ways.
