Hi there and welcome to Mamaguru!
My name is Rebecca Cofiño and I created Mamaguru to help people live happier lives by living deliberately. It’s so easy to get caught in the hustle and bustle of busyness, and to feel like we never get the chance to live the life we really want. As a working mother of two, I understand that feeling all too well. I learned how to use mindfulness to carve out breathing room in my life, and it made me so much happier. Now I want to share what I learned with you!
Sound good? This is the right place for you if you want…
- vibrant health
- to give your children a childhood full of wonder and discovery
- the energy to nurture relationships with your beloveds
- time to work on projects, pursue your passions and follow your dreams
- to know how to cook and eat really good food (whole and unprocessed)
- to make beautiful memories through celebrations
- to live your life in line with your values of kindness, compassion and stewardship of our planet
- to nourish yourself daily, rather than as an annual afterthought
- above all else always live your life connected to the Divine
Mamaguru is all about giving you the inspiration, insights and practical tips to help you create a beautiful life. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about meaningful happiness. It’s about living the life your heart longs for.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I’m a mom to two boys, Max and Jack, and we live in Miami with my husband, Andres. Motherhood changed my life in the best way! At one point I had two little ones under two years old. Our home was crazy, but I loved it. Motherhood has opened up my heart in the most beautiful ways and has become an enormous part of my spirituality. It’s all about love.
Before I was a mom I traveled extensively in the world at large and in the world of books.
- I studied writing with an emphasis in poetry in college.
- While teaching English in Japan, I began to study Zen.
- I moved to India to study yoga and become a certified instructor. I used to own my own Yoga studio.
- I teach meditation and mindfulness classes.
- I’m a life coach who specializes in happiness, goal setting and living a meaningful life.
- I’m an avid home cook, occasional caterer and a cooking instructor. I used to sell baked goods at the Farmer’s Market, but my specialty is making homemade versions of processed foods. You can find a lot of these recipes in the Making Groceries section.
These days I’m enjoying writing books, growing my business and loving my family. The best part of my day is always meditation, morning hugs and good-night kisses. I live as much of my life outside as I can and always feel deeply connected to God whenever I am in nature. My happiest days are the days I go swimming. I fall asleep with a book in my hand every night.
A Gift For You
Part of my spirituality involves giving back and spreading the peace of mindfulness, so I have a free gift for you: Everyday Mindfulness. This is a 4 week course designed to teach you how to incorporate mindfulness into your daily life. Normally it would cost $100, but it’s absolutely free. Every day you will learn a simple mindfulness exercise to help you cultivate a bit of inner peace and happiness. Please sign up, so you can take part.
You can also join my Facebook Group, The Mindfulness Movement. It’s a really positive community where we support each other in living mindful and happy lives.
