Serena Jain is a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Teacher through the University of California, San Diego’s Center for Mindfulness, a Board Certified Integrative Health & Wellness Coach through Duke Integrative Health and the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching, and she holds a BA in Communications from North Carolina State University. Additionally, she has completed Trauma-Sensitive training in mindfulness and meditation at the Oxford Centre for Mindfulness.
Serena began yoga and meditation as a young child. Her family is from India, and she was raised with a strong affinity for these modalities. She sat her first silent 10-day meditation retreat in her early 20s in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. It was a transformational experience that ultimately led her to shift careers from non-profit management and delve deeper into mindfulness, health, wellbeing, and nature therapy.
Serena finds deep purpose in the path to health, well-being, and stress reduction. She has witnessed the first-hand positive effects it has had on herself and her community. She believes that individuals hold the ultimate power in creating the lives they wish to live, and by cultivating a compassionate and mindful awareness, they can utilize the best means they have to do so, themselves.
In 2020, Serena embarked on a new journey functioning as the Owner, Mindfulness Educator, Facilitator, and Integrative Health and Well-Being Coach at www.serenajain.com. Here she teaches Mindfulness both virtually and in person on various platforms. Her offerings include the renowned 8-week (MBSR) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.

Serena also delivers keynote talks on mindfulness and integrative health, facilitates workplace well-being & resilience programs, and designs customized mindfulness-based training programs for organizations. Additionally, she implements mindfulness in education for K-12 students by teaching in local schools.
