Welcome to the FISH Lab!

What is Flourishing?

To flourish is to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way. It’s not so much a state that one achieves, but rather an active and dynamic quality of being that can manifest in the moments of our lives.




You Might be Flourishing if...

  • You are being curious and open to your experiences and how you might learn and grow from them; 
  • You intentionally show up to your life and relationships with authenticity, presence, and compassion; 
  • You engage in personally meaningful and purpose-driven pursuits;
  • You are mindfully awake, aware, and connected to yourself, to others, and to the world in which you live. ​​​​​

The FISH Research Lab

Our research seeks to create and discover inclusive and accessible ways to promote health, wellbeing, and flourishing in people, population, and planet through mindfulness-based emotion regulation, deep social connection, and positive health behavior engagement. Much of this work focuses on supporting people affected by chronic medical conditions such as cancer and discovering ways to bring flourishing skills, behaviors, and opportunities to their lives in easy, accessible, and equitable ways.  ​
