Pakvilai Sudhaswin, M.A. has been teaching Stress Management Workshops, “Living in Harmony with Stress” since 1992, combining East/West psychological perspectives of healing and relaxation. She was born in the Buddhist country of Thailand where she began her deep and grounded practice of Samatha/Vipassana meditation at age sixteen. Pak's training in Dzogechen and Tibetan Qi Gong , coupled with her Graduate work in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco, provide her a unique quality of insights. Pak's work is born out of her own struggle with chronic illness and its resulting stress. She believes that in each of us there is an intrinsic peace and tranquility. Because our ordinary minds are so undisciplined, we fail to recognize our inner peace. Her passion is to help people tap into this state of peace and learn to “be” at ease with stress in their daily lives. “I am giving you the tools to gain access to this inner peace”.
