About Jane Lodato
Jane Lodato currently serves as the Wellness Chief systemwide for Mount Sinai Surgery in New York City, a consultant to the UCLA Hospital system and has a private practice teaching and consulting clients throughout the United States.
Having practiced and studied mindfulness meditation for 25 years, Jane is a graduate of the rigorous Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program sponsored by University of California Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. Jane is also certified as a Mindfulness Mentor who specializes on dealing with anxiety, fear, anger, burnout, and the neuroscience of rewiring the brain.
Jane’s prior experience as an executive in global public corporations gave her firsthand experience and insight into the resilience required in fast-paced, high-stress environments. Having earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Oregon, Jane began a marketing career at Nike, went on to work at Apple, led ABC Television’s prime time advertising effort, led marketing for Universal Studios Television, founded the Emmy Award-winning Sierra Club Productions, and led the marketing effort for Silicon Valley Financial Group.
As a result of her background working with CEOs, Venture Capitalists, and Boards, coupled with her experience in leadership and coaching individuals, Jane developed a proprietary form of secular Mindfulness training designed to provide tools to combat burnout and stress. The Mount Sinai Department of Surgery created the Chief of Wellness position to bring Jane on board, where she is affectionately referred to as “The Surgeon Whisperer”!
Jane incorporates holistic methodologies to include alternative practices that focus on the unique needs of each person, group, and organization.
