Richard Goerling

Richard guides people who intentionally step into intensity, challenge, and adversity—including public safety professionals, military veterans, trauma responders, healthcare providers, athletes, educators, and others whose lives and work demand awareness, steadiness, and humanity. Drawing on his military and law enforcement experience, Richard brings a practical, grounded approach to mindfulness. He trained through UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center and earned certification in Evidence-Based Coaching through Fielding Graduate University. As a researcher, educator, and trainer, Richard explores the intersection of mindfulness, resilience, and human performance, particularly in high-stress, high-reliability environments. His teachings integrate scientific understanding with lived experience, offering accessible practices that cultivate self-awareness, emotion regulation, compassion, and an adaptive mindset. Richard approaches mindfulness not as an escape from difficulty, but as a way to meet life more fully—with clarity, flexibility, and intention. His practices invite listeners to strengthen attention, develop a grounded sense of self, and build the capacity to navigate life's challenges with compassion, resilience, and skillful action.
