Ann Stillwater
Bio: Ann Stillwater (they/she) M. Ed., BSN, BA, RN, is a neuro-diverse, non-binary high school nurse & certified yoga instructor. Anchored in personal experience, Ann’s research on “second victims” (published in 2018) introduced school nurses to the idea that those in helping professions may suffer emotional trauma when things do not go as expected. Ann completed Plum Village’s Mindfulness for Educators training in 2020 & continues to learn a gentler, kinder way of relating to others in this traumatized world. They are the “go to” person for guided meditations in their church & spend hundreds of hours yearly leading or participating in guided meditations. One of their favorite pastimes is grounding chakras outside, looking up at the ever-changing sky (join me Friday 7:30 AM @ Yoga Tent). As a healer, spouse, parent of amazing grown children, & active citizen, Ann learns and teaches that healing traumas and “mistakes” leads to a deeper, richer, experience of this adventure of life.
