About

Picture
​My name is Michael Vastola (PhD, C.L.C., Unified Mindfulness). I live in Terre Haute, Indiana with my wife and daughter. I am a coach, mindfulness enthusiast, and writer of the blog Practices for growth: mindfulness experiments in daily life.

My blog offers regular experiments for finding more skillful ways of living through mindfulness and well-being practices. It also presents an honest view of the baffling decisions and unique habits of a middle-aged man as he tries to learn from his many misadventures.

If you are curious, you can learn (probably too much) more about me in this post about my mindfulness journey and from my other writing. I also offer coaching for emotional wellness and personal growth if you are interested in working with me.
