As a Certified Mindfulness and Compassion Facilitator from UCLA and the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, Chris’s  life’s work is helping people cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and emotional intelligence.
He believes that when we’re bogged down with self-doubt, stress, anxiety, and more responsibilities than we have time to fulfill, we lose the ability to live our full potential (both personally and professionally).

And nothing feels worse than knowing that you have more to offer, but not having the capacity to do so.  

Chris teaches mindfulness and compassion to deliver high-quality mindful awareness, compassion, and emotional intelligence training to both individuals and organizations. With an authentic, passionate, and gentle teaching style, he will help you recognize your own unconscious thought patterns and wake up to your life with self-awareness.

I am the owner and founder of Holistic Mental Health Wellness Inc., which originated long before it was founded in 2015. I started in the field of psychiatry in 2005, as a floor nurse at an urban hospital in Chicago. There, I saw how the deprivation of social, physical, mental, spiritual nurturing, and love from others and towards ourselves can impact one's psyche. In addition, having grown up in a 3rd world country,  where poverty, neglect, and abuse were not uncommon, and facing  many challenges of all flavors, as all humans do, I began to see how nothing is an accident but that all of our experiences  can help propel us to become our greatest selves, if we choose.  My education and more so my own experiences,  have more than  prepared me to do my current work, which I am passionate about. As I went through my own healing journey, I awakened to this inner knowing that challenges were indeed opportunities which ultimately lead us to align with our higher power; in this way discovering our true essence. As I started practicing as an APN, after graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I soon found that though there is a place for medication in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses, in particular; one cannot ignore that there are holistic options that don't only treat the symptoms but can heal at the core of the problem. My journey has led me to my relentless love for all, and the burning desire to help others find their way to their own healing journey. This has become my mission, helping everyone not just those diagnosed with mental illness, reach their highest potential!   224-366-7537  tmosco1@comcast.net
