About Sarah McLean

Sarah McLean has been teaching meditation and mind/body health programs since the early 90's. She served as the education director for the Chopra Center for Well Being in San Diego and is now the director of the Sedona Meditation Training Company. Her interest in mind/body health began with her training as a medic and behavioral specialist in the U.S. Army in the 1980s where she learned to treat post traumatic stress disorder within the military. In the late 80's she began her personal daily meditation practice and her work with mind/body health pioneer, Dr. Deepak Chopra. For over eight years, she was employed and personally mentored by him, first as an mind/body educator at the Ayurveda Health Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and later relocated to Southern California to become one of the founding directors of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. Dr. Chopra certified Sarah, one of his first educators, to teach mind/body health programs; among them Perfect Health, the Ayurvedic Lifestyle Course, and Primordial Sound Meditation. As the Education Director at the Chopra Center, she provided educational programs for the the center's guests and hosted presenters on holistic healing modalities from all over the world. While at the Chopra Center, Sarah also has had the good fortune of promoting and studying intensively with best-selling authors Debbie Ford, author of The Secret of the Shadow, and Margot Anand, author of Everyday Ecstasy. Sarah also became immersed in her studies of Ayurveda and furthered her studies with Dr. John Douillard, expert pulse diagnostician, and attended the Ayurvedic College at Mt. Madonna with Dr. Vasant Lad. Ayurveda is an ancient mind/body healing approach which suggests that health and healing begins with awareness, or consciousness, and that meditation is the first step towards creating balance in the mind and body. Ayurveda includes healing modalities that include: daily and seasonal routines, diet, exercise, identifying mind/body types (doshas) and imbalances, purification therapies, sound therapy, aroma therapy, and more. In 1997, after a six month sabbatical in India, Sarah returned to the states and became a resident in a Zen Buddhist monastery for two years, where she spent days at a time in silence and meditation. She then served as the personal assistant to Gary Zukav, author of Seat of the Soul, and in 2000, was hired by Byron Katie, as the Director for her School of the Work. Sarah is a sought after presenter in the personal growth arena and in in corporate environments. Her presentations throughout Arizona and the U.S. include self-awareness training, stress reduction techniques, and mind/body health and lifestyle programs. Sarah lives in Sedona where she speaks and writes about mediattion, she also teaches meditation, and offers consultations in Perfect Health. She is a frequent contributor to health and lifestyle publications on mind/body health and the benefits of meditation. Send an email to Sarah McLean, or call her at (928) 204-0067.
