Amara Williams

Amara Williams, CMT-P, writes about everyday mindfulness and the relationship skills that make life feel lighter. After a BA in Communication from Howard University, she worked in high-pressure brand roles until burnout sent her searching for sustainable tools; she retrained through UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center short courses and earned the IMTA-accredited Certified Mindfulness Teacher–Professional credential, with additional study in Motivational Interviewing and Nonviolent Communication. Amara spans Mindfulness (Affirmations, Breathwork, Gratitude, Journaling, Meditation, Visualization) and Relationships (Active Listening, Communication, Empathy, Healthy Boundaries, Quality Time, Support Systems), plus Self-Care’s Digital Detox and Setting Boundaries. She’s led donation-based community classes, coached teams through mindful meeting practices, and built micro-practice libraries that people actually use between calls—her credibility shows in retention and reported stress-reduction, not just in certificates. Her voice is kind, practical, and a little playful; expect scripts you can say in the moment, five-line journal prompts, and visualization for nerves—tools that work in noisy, busy days. Amara believes mindfulness is less about incense and more about attention, compassion, and choices we can repeat without eye-rolling.
