One Action Starts the Change

Everyone associated with Mindfulness Tools Inc. has the goal of making positive changes in our world...one intentional action at a time.  For every action we take has a ripple effect, spreading well beyond the moment.

Our Story

The depth of the need for more mindfulness programs in our community is the key factor as to why Mindfulness Tools Inc. ("MTI") was created.  The numerous individuals voicing their desire to support such programs (i.e. experienced instructors, business owners, nonprofit organizations, and the general public) ushered the idea into reality.

 

The central point to this group is Janet Viscome, a self-proclaimed, perpetual student who has worn many hats in different industries throughout her career.  Ms. Viscome worked nearly 17 years in the entertainment industry, culminating in the position of VP of Studio Services (Operations) for the largest independent TV and film studio in Hollywood. Ms. Viscome spent the next 15 years as a project manager and consultant, providing services for several Fortune 1000 clients.

 

As a way of healing a degenerative back issue and counterbalancing demanding work, Ms. Viscome has practiced yoga and mindfulness for nearly 30 years and was certified in 2012, she has been continuously learning and teaching yoga to individuals ranging in age from 4-92. 

 

Since 1998, Ms. Viscome's side activities included a number of nonprofit associations with positions in such roles as Secretary, Treasurer, and President of the Southern California Audi Club; Board Member for the Audi Club of North America; Volunteer, Instructor, Board Member, and Officer with Enhancing Forward Action Inc.; "Lupie Yoga" Instructor for the We Win (Lupus) Foundation; and Volunteer, Coach, and Operations Director for First Tee – Inland Empire.

​

Through MTI, Ms. Viscome has assembled a diverse, intelligent, and warm-hearted team to assist her in developing not only a thoughtful but also holistic approach to providing our community with opportunities to nurture balance, peace, and well-being in their daily lives.
