Find the calm amid the chaos

Corporate & Community Wellness Workshops | International Bestselling Book | Kids Meditations & Podcast Host | Mental Health Advocate

 
 

👋🏽 Hi, I’m Nina!

I am the founder of Pure Minds, a social enterprise focused on wellness. I’ve got an international bestseller, called Let That Sh*t Go and am a kids podcast host & meditation mentor. I spent the majority of my career in sales & marketing. A decade ago I hit a peak point of stress sparked by the corporate grind, so I did something drastic - moved to Northern California for a year to unplug and live in an ashram. I wanted to see if there was a way to take ancient wisdom and apply it to modern day stressors - turns out, there is! It’s my greatest passion to help people find hope and peace through adversity.

International Bestselling Book

The book 📖

Let That Sh*t Go is filled with over 100 tips on how to find more peace and happiness in your everyday. It’s covers topics like the racing mind, self-smack talk, accepting what we can’t control, shifting our perspective, being true to you, forgiveness and finding your tech zen. It also touches on the power of practising mindfulness and meditation to find your calm.

Excerpts from client testimonials

"The session was so applicable to our people - they had a way of explaining the importance and benefits of mindfulness to your overall wellbeing. They spent so much time upfront to better understand their audience, and the business, which is telling of how impactful the session was. We had so many requests for another workshop!"

- Arti Kashyap, Wellbeing Lead, Deloitte Consulting, UK

"The workshop was at a time of significant corporate change, where ambiguity and anxiety where at peak levels. With the content, we developed our capabilities of self-awareness and the skills required to become more mindful. This has given us a common language to share with each other how we’re navigating the multiple priorities.”

— Martin Spencer, Vice President, Sales, Mars Wrigley Confectionary

“Concrete tips and tools were shared that we can put in to practice as we navigate the uncertainty of what lies ahead. I appreciated the vulnerability and candour. Ultimately, the time “together” provided a shared language that we will take with us as a Marketing organization and continue to come back to in our everyday lives.”

— Lesya Lysyj, Chief Marketing Officer, The Boston Beer Company

About Me

Why I do what I do 🌿

At 16 I faced an unexpected tragedy. I struggled with PTSD & survivors guilt. I saw a number of child psychologists and psychiatrists, but what kept me grounded - and still does ‘til this day - is my study of ancient wisdom and practice of mindfulness and meditation. I don’t know who or where I would be without it. And this is why I’m so passionate about sharing it with the world. We don’t have to be defined by our adversity. There is a way to attain true mental freedom.
