Brenda Lindsay

Mind Transformations LLC, The Center for Mindfulness, Resilience, and Well-Being is committed to helping leaders, teams,  and individuals unlock potential and thrive in an age of disruption.  

Brenda Lindsay, the Founder of Mind Transformation LLC, is a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher which is the gold standard of mindfulness training, a Certified Meditation Instructor with the American Institute of Health Care Professionals (AIHCP), a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-200), a certified Personal Resilience Practitioner (PRP), a Certified Neuroscience Coach, and a Certified Professional Coach (CPC). Brenda received an Integrative Holistic Health and Wellness graduate certificate from Western Michigan University. 

In addition to facilitating mindfulness and resilience sessions, Brenda volunteers as a Board Member for the Ann Arbor Center for Mindfulness, leads drop-in meditation sessions and retreats, including meditation sessions for cancer patients, survivors, and loved ones, and speaks at events.  Brenda has been practicing mindfulness for over 12 years.

Earlier in her career, Brenda was paralyzed when public speaking, she struggled with conflict and was overly reactive at times.  When practicing mindfulness daily, Brenda noticed a shift.   Gradually, life started to flow easier, she was more comfortable speaking publicly and was able to maintain composure during high-pressure situations.


As a result of her own personal transformation, Brenda landed several executive roles at the Michigan Department of Treasury.  With an extensive accounting and security background and 20 years of leadership experience, Brenda and her team helped transform the Michigan Department of Treasury's security culture through education and the engagement of over 1,500 employees and contractors while protecting millions of taxpayers' data. 

Helping others shift is Brenda's passion.  With vast executive experience, her own personal transformation, and substantial mindfulness, resilience, and well-being credentials, Brenda is highly effective in both corporate and group sessions.
