MindShift began with a mission to help people feel a little bit better at work. Before jumping into the tech startup world, Brooke Parham earned a Masters of Education in Counseling and Clinical Psychology from Columbia University with a focus on mindfulness-based therapies (MBSR + MBCT). With 9 years of working in fast-paced startups, Customer Success and people management, she continually saw work overload, stress and burnout regardless of department or job title. After seeing similar trends at three consecutive companies, she couldn’t help but think, We can do this better.

Certified in Organizational Mindfulness (OMI-100), she leads mindfulness programs for organizations of all sizes. Her mission is to bridge the gap between wellness services being offered and actually applying them for a better working life. Living in the present moment is a choice, which most people don’t realize they have. She hopes to contribute to more conscious working communities and ultimately, happier employees.
