About

Hi everyone. My name is Cindy Gittleman and I am a Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher. I was trained at the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at UMass in Shrewsbury. I established Sunrise Mindfulness as a means of assisting people in living more fully, both personally and professionally, through the use of mindfulness practices. I have taught the MBSR program over 50 times (including a brief period at the Center for Mindfulness), and it is always a new and rewarding experience. Mindfulness has had a major impact on my life and I am delighted to help others access their inner resources.

My professional life began as a classical musician. After freelancing in the metropolitan New York area for about 10 years, I gravitated toward the field of psychology. I love to learn and earned two Masters degrees and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies. I worked in the field of psychology for 16 years, first as a therapist with underserved patient populations, and later in the areas of psychological, psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessment.

In addition to teaching at Sunrise Mindfulness, I am a Senior Wellness Instructor at eMindful. I am also a certified hatha yoga teacher and yin yoga teacher, and offer workshops in mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindful yoga, and mindfulness meditation in the Greater Boston area. I look forward to working with you!
