About Patricia Kathryn Galaczy

I care deeply about what it means to have a healthy human mind in stressful times.

For over twenty years I’ve been working at the intersection of leadership development and mindfulness training (so way before mindfulness was cool).

What that means is that I help leaders—at all levels—lead by developing healthy mind states.
