Our work
Im2 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We build and deliver mindfulness-based stress reduction for people the standard format excludes.
Why Im2 exists
In 2012 our founder sat in a cardiologist’s office with a heart arrhythmia hovering between forty and fifty percent. He was handed a mindfulness workbook instead of another prescription, and he was skeptical.
By week four the arrhythmia had dropped below ten percent.
That result is the reason Im2 exists. Something worked, and it almost stayed out of reach anyway, priced and paced for people with eight weeks, five hundred dollars, and a quiet corner of their life to spare. Most people do not have that.
How we work
We do not dilute the method
Our content is developed by senior certified MBSR instructors. The five week format cuts in-class time, not substance, by moving conceptual material into self-paced video so live sessions can be spent on practice and people.
We are education, not treatment
Im2 programs are educational and wellness programs. They are not therapy and not a treatment. Our instructors hold that boundary and refer people to professional care when it is warranted.
We run on contributed time
Instructors, clinicians, designers and engineers contribute their work. That is what lets us hold the price where we hold it.
