Taking care of mental health is an ongoing journey, just like taking care of physical health.

OMBI's unique approach focuses on prevention using research-based skills that boost resilience of the mind and the body.

We believe knowing how to take care of mental health, and having the time to practice self-care, should be available to everyone.

Taking care of your mental health is an ongoing journey, just like taking care of your physical health.

OMBI’s approach is unique, teaching research-based, core preventive mental health skills and concepts that combine cognitive and body-based practices.

OMBI's mission is to bring more consciousness, compassion, and connection into everyday life to positively impact overall health and wellbeing.

Our work is based on the belief that the opportunity to learn and the time to practice preventive mental health skills should be available to everyone.

Our Thanks to These Generous Supporters of Our Work

Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation

I have adopted Lori Allen's framing that this work is fundamentally empowering, preventative mental health work and have taken many of the concepts and practices into my work with schools. In every case, teachers and students and caregivers remark that concepts like the Window of Tolerance and Wheel of Awareness provide a language of understanding, possibility, and (most importantly) agency. This is no small thing in a world that oft feels like it is spinning far beyond our control.

— Daniel Gallo, Social Emotional Learning Specialist, Lane ESD

“I've been teaching mindfulness for a couple of years and practicing for longer, but this course has helped me identify ways in which I can improve and give even more space to the students and staff that I support. I enjoyed hearing different perspectives and gaining a new understanding through shared experience and insight.”

— Lane County Organizational Employee, Training of the Trainers

“The presenters were personable and passionate about mindfulness in a way that normalized it and made us feel empowered to employ it! I loved how this training crystalized for me the now-obvious message that this is for us, the adults at work, and that it was not a training for how we can teach it to students but rather to colleagues!”
