My name is Jimmy Warden, and I'm a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. I earned my certification in March 2025 via the Sounds True Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) created by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
That certification didn't come from having it all figured out. I've sat with depression. I've sat with anxiety that shows up before my mind even catches up to what it's afraid of. What I went looking for wasn't a practice for the good days — it was one that could hold up on the hard ones, the days when the noise in my own head was the loudest thing in the room.
Now, I have a mission to empower 10,000 people to learn this practice by offering low-to-no cost options so they can directly experience the possibility of cultivating peace within, despite the fires of life they may be feeling.
I've worked 1:1 with teachers and entrepreneurs to deliver customized mindfulness coaching through my six-week program, Responding to Anxiety with Wisdom. I've also taught two online cohorts with themes: Mindfulness in the Modern World and Loving-Kindness, co-facilitated a half-day retreat: The Ground Beneath at The Sanctuary in Northfield, Vermont, and delivered workshops to sports teams about how mindfulness is a tool to overcome performance anxiety and access peak performance.
The consensus is that I make mindfulness practical and tangible by tailoring practice to individual needs. It helps students deepen their practice, become self-aware, manage difficult emotions, life events, and work-related stress with a calmness they didn't have before.
My teachings are influenced by Thomas Davis, Devin Berry, Chas Dicapua, Jean Esther, Yong Oh, Shelly Graf, Thich Nhat Hanh, Jack Kornfield, and Tara Brach.
What I Offer

When I first met Jimmy, we were having a casual conversation and getting to know each other. He was offering free mindfulness sessions, so we met for that a few weeks later. After our short practice together, I quickly realized this was something I wanted to invest in. At the time, I was often negative about various aspects of my life, and it was controlling my mood and focus when it came to working on my online business and in day-to-day life. 6 weeks later... I was a whole different person. Between our weekly 1:1s and the guided mindfulness meditations Jimmy put together for me to use throughout the day, everything changed. Positive energy flowed through me every single day when I implemented mindfulness. Each week, we had a new focus and practice, all of which related to my goals and intentions for mindfulness. After our 6 weeks, I've taken what I've learned and use it in every aspect of my life. When I take walks, feel a bit down, or hit a workout, mindfulness is there by my side. I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to have met Jimmy and to have worked with him.

Jimmy is a great guy. He's calm, collected, and caring. Everything he teaches, he clearly applies in his own life. I have never had anyone pay such close attention to my problems and what I have to say. He gave me useful tips to help me in my journey. Most importantly, he gave me hope. I have struggled to deal with outside pressure, and his advice and resources are already helping me after only two days. I can only imagine what this will do in a year. Thanks again, Jimmy. You've helped a lot.

I went to Jimmy as a player on a team he was coaching. I saw that he was offering mindfulness sessions, and after a rough game, I decided to give it a shot. I was feeling emotions of anger, anxiety, and frustration from the game we had a few days prior. Through this session, Jimmy offered a few strategies to help me. The biggest strategy was to recognize the emotion's presence. Instead of focusing on how mad I was, I would take a breath, and realize I was feeling angry. That took me out of that sense of anger, which created a lot more peace. I felt extremely comfortable going to him to talk about what I was thinking, and I was able to implement the strategies that we discussed. Through practice, I saw tons of positive results.

Around the middle of our 23-24 season, I struggled with self-doubt and confidence on the field. I knew Coach Jimmy offered mindfulness sessions, so I reached out. We had a short meeting where he explained the importance of self-talk and how big of an impact negative thoughts can have out on the field. I started to incorporate what he taught me and regained my confidence and swagger with a stick in my hand. Thanks, coach!

Jimmy gifted me the inner balance I didn't know I needed. After the call, I felt calm and warm and felt ready to continue working and achieving my professional and personal goals. At first, we discussed my struggles, and then he proposed a 15-minute meditation that would help me. And it did. He guided me through from recognizing my emotions to accepting and nurturing them. If you don’t feel like yourself recently with all the work piled up, I would definitely recommend you check in with Jimmy. He will find the right method to help you.

Lately, I’ve been caught up in my thinking and reached a state of desperation. Jimmy listened to me rant and then guided me (through meditation) to a place of healing where I could once again breathe. His guidance helped me realize our thoughts are just that…nothing more, nothing less. Jimmy has the tools to help his clients find inner calm and peace, for which I am grateful.

Working with Jim was a great experience! I was able to work at my pace and he gave me great guidance to help me find mindfulness practices and strategies that worked for ME! I now feel myself going through each day with more mental energy and working through stressful situations seamlessly!
I would recommend anyone to work with Jim! His level of compassion, care, and his work ethic make him a great coach and he is a great person above all!
Rachel
Educator
I’ve completed two of Jimmy’s mindfulness courses, and both have been truly insightful, inspiring, and deeply beneficial to my mental health. Jimmy is a knowledgeable and gifted mindfulness guide who not only teaches what mindfulness is, but also what it isn’t. His approach is clear, compassionate, and grounded in real-life application.
Jimmy presents mindfulness practices in a way that feels accessible and welcoming, never pressured. Through his guidance, I’ve learned how to be gentle with myself, observe my thoughts and feelings without judgment, and cultivate a sense of loving kindness—for both myself and others.These courses have made a lasting impact on my daily life. I highly recommend Jimmy’s mindfulness courses to anyone seeking greater clarity, compassion, and emotional well-being.

I would highly recommend these mindfulness teachings to ANYONE. I was able to learn valuable mindfulness techniques to lean on when I may feel overwhelmed by feelings, emotions, or thoughts. Although I may not practice on a daily basis I feel that I have a strong foundation & the tools to carry me forward. For that, I will always be thankful to Jimmy.

I just got off a 1.5-hour call with Jimmy Warden. I feel I learned much more about mindfulness or meditation in that call than I've ever learned in my life. Jimmy guided me to meditate together with him, inhale, and exhale to achieve peak mindfulness. Now, I feel clearer than ever. I'm now well-trained to be mindful during work and tame any distractions that may come my way. I know how to befriend and negate negative thoughts masterfully. This is worth its weight in gold... I owe you, Jimmy

1:1 Mindfulness Coaching
Uncovering Inner Peace
6 weeks of personalized mindfulness coaching to help you cultivate the peaceful mind and heart you deserve.
Many of us have gone about our lives not knowing a deep truth.
We all have peace in our hearts and minds.
Not only do we have peace in our hearts and minds, but a peaceful heart and mind is our true nature. Our true nature is not a heart or mind rooted in fear, anger, anxiety, or depression. But that's what much of our lives have felt like.
Why is that?
Because we were never taught the proper practices to uncover the peace that's within.
And that's what this coaching program is all about.
Helping you develop the necessary skills to cultivate peace on command.
But before we get into the logistics, I'd like to share a bit about why you can feel comfortable with my guidance.
Who am I?
My name is Jimmy Warden, and I'm a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, certified workplace mindfulness facilitator, meditation retreat leader, and a daily practitioner of what I teach my students.
I started meditating in 2018, and since then, I've completed an 8-week mindfulness based stress reduction course, a two-year mindfulness meditation teacher certification program created by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach where I received direct mentorship from a certified Dharma teacher, four-week long silent retreats, and multiple online weekend retreats. I've also been fortunate enough to have coached over a dozen beautiful souls like you in an intimate 1:1 container, just like this program. I've also taught two six-week courses online and a half-day retreat at a local wellness studio where I also teach weekly.
Needless to say, meditation isn't a part of my life. For me, it's a way of life.
I've completely shifted how I perceive the world through my insight meditation practice, and as a result, I've completely shifted my relationship with and how I handle daily stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, disappointment, and depression.
Instead of feeling trapped and powerless because of these difficulties, I now feel capable and confident to navigate them with clarity, patience, and purpose, all because I've practiced the techniques necessary to know that despite any difficulties that arise, beneath the surface of all that, there is a fundamental peacefulness that's always present.
What is this program?
This program is a six-week, one-to-one mindfulness coaching experience with me that helps you learn the tools, practices, and techniques of insight meditation to cultivate a peaceful mind and heart.
It is run by me, a certified mindfulness teacher, who has helped over 20 people do exactly what you're hoping to do: reduce anxiety and stress, transform your relationship to discomfort, and develop the confidence and faith that you can handle and tend to strong emotions.
Who is this program for?
This program is for anyone seeking to uncover the peace they never knew they had.
How does this program work?
This program begins with a discovery call to meet your coach and develop rapport. In that discovery call, it would also be helpful to share any challenges you're going through in life that seem to be blocking your peace, along with what an average day looks like for you. From there, your coach will develop a personalized mindfulness plan for you to follow that meets your specific needs, schedule, and mental health goals.
What You'll Receive
A customized six-week mindfulness plan to fit your daily schedule and practice goals
A 60-minute introductory call to review the plan and discuss the first week's implementation
Six 60-minute follow-up calls each week for Q&A and to discuss how the implementation is going and how it can be altered to address real-time changes and needs
Weekly recorded guided meditations
Weekly one-page documents with practice instructions and daily life integration practices
Daily communication via text message or another third-party app such as Telegram or WhatsApp
What will I get out of this program?
I can't promise what you'll get out of the program. You'll get out what you put in. But I can promise you that if you're willing to open up to feel your direct experience, try new things, and practice a Beginner's Mind, the possibilities of what unfolds in our six weeks together will likely surprise you.

What's the investment of this program?
Right now, the investment of this program is simply your time. In honor of the insight tradition, I offer these teachings freely, and if there's a willingness and wholesome desire to donate after the six weeks is over, you may do so. But many of the teachers I've had who have made the most profound impacts on my life also operate under the guise of generosity, so to honor that tradition, I also offer free teachings, and it is 100% your choice about whether you donate or how much you donate at the end of our six weeks. There is no obligation to make a financial transaction.
Not everyone needs six weeks of one-on-one work. You might just need an afternoon.
I run workshops for schools, athletic teams, and companies who want their people to have real tools for stress and anxiety — not a poster in the break room, not a ten-minute app demo. Actual practices, taught by someone who uses them daily and admits when they don't work perfectly either.
I also teach courses: for teachers who want mindfulness that survives a Tuesday afternoon with 24 kids in the room, for athletes who need something between the ears when it's the fourth quarter, for entrepreneurs whose businesses run through their nervous system whether they've noticed it or not.
Workshop and course pricing depends on group size and length. Reach out and we'll figure out what actually fits.
I would highly recommend these mindfulness teachings to ANYONE. I was able to learn valuable mindfulness techniques to lean on when I may feel overwhelmed by feelings, emotions, or thoughts. Although I may not practice on a daily basis I feel that I have a strong foundation & the tools to carry me forward. For that, I will always be thankful to Jimmy.
