Liza Kindred has studied meditation and Buddhism with some of the best teachers in the world for over a decade...but she still swears a lot. (After all, the path to enlightenment runs right through the messy realities of everyday life.)

Liza is the creator of EFF THIS! Meditation, where she offers mindfulness practices to cynics, skeptics, and busy people. She is also the founder of Mindful Technology(TM) where she teaches companies how to build tech that values humans more than machines. Liza is a licensed minister, a level two reiki practitioner, and a terrible but passionate surfer.

As a meditation teacher and sought-after global keynote speaker, Liza has taught and spoken on five continents, from huge events like SxSW and Web Summit to intimate gatherings on living room floors. Her clients include companies like Vogue magazine, Microsoft, Hearst, and FedEx. She has appeared in The New York Times, Wired magazine, Well+Good, The Telegraph, and Entrepreneur magazine.

If there is one thing that Liza wants you to know, it's that there is nothing wrong with you. While the wellness industrial complex might use self care as a way to keep us striving for constant improvement, she believes that unconditional self love in the here and now is the only way to ever be truly happy. You are complete, just not finished.
