About

Dr. Barbara Mariposa trained as a medical doctor at the Royal Free Hospital in London and has a background in psychiatry and public health. While at medical school, she obtained a BSc in psychology and, later, when living in Sweden, a degree in musicology.

As a medical doctor with a background in psychiatry and public health, Dr. Barbara, whose books include The Mindfulness Playbook, The Kindness Habit, and Leading with Presence, works internationally to follow a life-long inquiry into the interdependence of body, emotion, mind, and environment.

Dr. Barbara works to dismantle all forms of discrimination and inequity while learning and spreading the tools of personal growth and wellbeing to create environments and systems that do justice to our shared humanity.

Recently, Dr. Barbara has been working in the corporate sector to eradicate the stigma around mental illness, bringing the 'how to do it' of mental and emotional wellbeing into the workplace, uniting multiple understandings of what it is to be human, and underpinning all of this in science.
