Cheryl Petersen, MA

Certified Meditation Instructor

Cheryl is a retired school counselor (24 years at Mammoth High School). She has been involved in personal and professional development in the counseling field for over 30 years. Cheryl has been dedicated to the practice of meditation & mindfulness since 2012 and is a certified Ananda Meditation instructor. What started out as a way to reduce stress evolved into a new way of life. This has meant learning what it truly means to live in the moment (vs. past or future, or the relentless busy mind), and finding peace and joy at home, in nature, and in the work place; leading to a gradual increase in health and well-being. Cheryl is committed to teaching meditation & mindfulness in the Mammoth Lakes community and being a resource for support for those who wish to begin and maintain a meditation practice. Cheryl may be contacted by email at ROLmeditation@gmail.com.
