Today I'm chatting with Dr. Rabia Subhani. She is a psychologist practicing in Georgia and also a parent to an autistic child. Across her professional and personal journey she has developed a mindfulness practice to help her child manage anxiety and behavior flare ups.
Dr. Rabia is a licensed psychologist and certified mindfulness teacher. She began her career as a Neuropsychologist and then had a spiritual epiphany in 2013 which led to a complete change in her personal and professional life. Rabia became immersed in mindfulness and found such a deep sense of peace and inner joy that she wanted to share it with others. So she re-trained in multiple evidence-based mindfulness programs to teach mindfulness to other families with neurodiverse children. She couldn’t find any one program which met her needs as a professional and parent of an autistic child, so she created her own. This program called Mindful Village® combines mindfulness, self-compassion, positive psychology, and neuroscience. Learn more about Dr. Rabia at www.drrabia.com.
