Meditation & everyday practice

Meet Kuma
Hi, I'm Christin.
Nice to meet ya!
I’m a Buddhist Chaplain, Builder, and Biotech marketer. I bring chaplaincy into everyday life through writing, coaching, and creative projects that make room for reflection and practice.
I build things that put these interests into practice: from Kuma, a gentle meditation timer, to Debug Your Meditation, a book about finding more joy in meditation.
My work also reaches into biotech. With a neuroscience PhD and a background in strategy and medical education, I help biotech companies connect with healthcare providers and patients. My research has spanned cancer imaging, multiple sclerosis, and the human genetics of sleep and circadian rhythms.
