Maya Nader Email & Phone Number

I am a compassion trainer managing the Life Enrichment department in Senior Living. I am passionate about creating a calendar where learning and connecting take center stage. As a memory fitness lead I have developed programs from virtual trips to artistic exploration to yoga movement and meditation to spark joy and connection in the early stage memory loss population. As a certified Compassion Cultivation Training teacher from Stanford University’s Medical School, I help others to develop inner strength, muster the courage to take compassionate action, and find resilience to prevent empathy fatigue. I have over a 1,000 hours of yoga training, have participated in the training of yoga teachers, and currently in the process of becoming a yoga therapist.A native of Beirut, Lebanon, I earned my B.A. in Political Science from the American University of Beirut and a master’s degree in Communication and Marketing from Boston University. I worked in marketing and advertising in Boston and in Beirut for Leo Burnett Advertising Agency. I speak French, Arabic, and English and am grateful for the cultural richness these languages encompass.For 16 years, I served as the Business Manager for a Seattle medical practice, where I witnessed firsthand the importance of preventing disease by living a healthy life and finding meaning and connection as a way to reduce stress. In 2013, I became certified by Stanford University to teach CCT and thus assist others in broadening compassion, which ultimately creates healthier and happier people and communities. I use everyday language in guiding meditation, often offering scientific findings to demystify the meditation process and communicate the outcomes of this work.I offer trainings in a variety of environments, from corporate settings to mission-driven non-profits, and have facilitated trainings at Brighton Jones, Yoga Behind Bars, University of Washington’s Center for Children and Family Well-Being, Jewish Community Center, and several yoga studios.My commitment to compassion and mindfulness extends to the boards on which I serve, including Space Between and Compassionate Action Network.
