A highly inspiring exchange with author Emily Fletcher on her brilliant book, Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance and how she came to create and launch Ziva, a meditation program that has touched countless lives.

EMILY FLETCHER is regarded as a leading expert in meditation for high performance. She is the creator of the Ziva Technique and the founder of Ziva, where she developed the world meditation training program. Emily was inspired to teach after experiencing the profound physical and mental benefits that meditation provided during her ten-year career on Broadway.

After teaching more than fifteen thousand people and learning about the unique demands of elite performers, Emily realized that meditation alone is not enough, so she developed the Ziva Technique: a powerful trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Manifesting designed to unlock your full potential at work and at home. She has been featured in The New York Times and Vogue as well as on NBC. She teaches in person at her Soho studio in New York City when she isn't playing with her adorable newborn son, Jasper.
