Anne Sussman

Anne Sussman is a certified Mindfulness and Meditation Instructor. She helps her students create a fluency in mindfulness, empowers individuals to be compassionate listeners, and shares techniques for living in high vitality.

Anne has been practicing meditation since 2009 and has seen first-hand the transformative qualities of mindfulness. She is the founder of the Mindfulness Meeting Place, a virtual studio that meets students wherever they are, helping them develop a calm mind, focused attention and greater well-being.

A 2015 graduate of the McLean Meditation Institute, and a certified trainer of the MMI-Mindful program, Anne offers instruction to individuals, small groups, and organizations. Her mindfulness education courses are designed to increase productivity and focus, while decreasing stress and anxiety.

Anne also serves as a “Spiritual Midwife,” helping individuals explore what is in their hearts and minds through the lens of Spirit. In individual one-on-one sessions, she examines daily practices, like meditation, inspirational readings, prayer, to uncover a sense of connection to the deepest part of who you are.

Anne is the author of The Bliss Buddy Project—How Sharing Gratitude Increases Joy, in which she explains how and why gratitude practice can be life-changing, then offers a simple way to practice. Since 2013, she has paired strangers and encouraged them to share daily ‘bliss moments’, which is a powerful way to magnify happiness.

She is also passionate about alleviating food insecurity: 10% of all profits are donated to Anne’s local food pantry, The Interfaith Food Pantry of the Oranges. She is also a sustaining donor to the non-profit Buy from a Black Woman, supporting Black women entrepreneurs, and ConBody, a foundation that helps those formerly incarcerated by training them and finding viable work/housing options.
