The Curious Mind Behind Mindful with Maddie

If I had to pick a favorite word, it would be "why.- followed by “how” and “what if.”

I've always been curious about....well, everything but in college my curiosity for the world, the universe, and what it really means to be human came into focus; college is also where I where I discovered yoga but we'll get to that later.

​

This curiosity led me to study Environmental Science, Physical Anthropology (the branch of anthropology concerned with the origin, evolution, and diversity of people) and Human Biology.

Basically, I went down the ultimate rabbit hole of how life works—from the tiniest biological processes to the grand interconnectedness of all living things - and how all of that influences how we operate in society.

What I found?

We are not separate from nature; we are a product of it. Understanding this isn't just fascinating—it’s life-changing. I believe that if more people truly grasped where we came from, how we got here, and the deep interwoven threads that connect us to each other and the planet, the world would be a much better place.​​

But my college education is only one part of the story...

My love for movement and self-inquiry led me to become a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, where I learned to weave my scientific understandings into my teachings.

To me, yoga isn’t just about flexibility—it’s about understanding the body as a biological masterpiece, reconnecting with the mind and body as a tool for growth and seeing movement as a way to, not only regulate, but play!

At my core, I believe knowledge is the cure to everything; it's the most powerful tools in the world! The more we understand—ourselves, each other and our planet—the more compassion, connection, and joy we can cultivate.

That’s why I created Mindful with Maddie: a space where curiosity meets clarity, where science and spirituality shake hands and where learning is always an adventure.

So, welcome! I'm excited to explore, grow, and have fun with you <3
