Mindfulness Teacher Alexandra Rumyantseva Now Part of Sequoia Team

Hello, Sequoia Community!

Today, I am pleased to share some news with you: mindfulness teacher and psychological consultant Alexandra Rumyantseva has joined our team.

Introduction to Alexandra

I met Alexandra last year. I was fortunate enough to attend her 5-hour silent retreat. In our dynamic lives, filled with information, it's not often that we get to be alone with our thoughts. And there, I had to remain silent for 5 hours. It was the first time something like that happened in my life. It seems like that was the first time I truly meditated, heard myself and my body, and learned what mindful thinking is. I still remember how deeply impressed I was after that practice.

Professional Experience of Alexandra

Alexandra has over five years of experience counseling clients and conducting educational seminars, serving as a teacher of mindfulness practices. She actively develops in this field, gaining experience as a psychological consultant and trainer in various educational and practical centers, such as the "Mindup" Mindfulness Practices Center and the CBT and Mindfulness Center.

With a background in psychology, she continues to enhance her knowledge by taking various courses and training in modern techniques and methods of working with clients.

Her academic resume reflects both traditional and innovative educational programs, indicating her commitment to continuous growth in the field of psychological counseling and education.

Looking to the Future

As a team member, Alexandra will be developing the mindfulness direction. Soon, we will add a series of publications to the app, where we will detail this psychological process of paying attention to and managing one's experiences.

And in the future, affirmations for mental state adjustment will be added to the app, recommended to users based on tracker data.

To be honest, Dr. Olga Nevdah and I have long discussed how cool it would be to add such functionality to the app. It's a fairly common practice in the world, but it seems not very developed in our region. So, when Alexandra herself wrote and offered to work on it, our joy knew no bounds.

Alexandra, welcome to the team!
