About Inti Mindfulness
I’m Angie Olortegui, a trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) and a mindfulness educator, based in Stouffville, Ontario, and recognized by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.
Before dedicating my work to mindfulness, I built a professional career in business as an economist and market researcher. My path eventually shifted through lived experiences navigating anxiety, caregiving responsibilities, and big life transitions—experiences that deepened my understanding of the challenges many people face in everyday life. In searching for ways to restore balance and resilience, I explored a range of approaches including yoga, Buddhist teachings, psychotherapy, and nutritional support. Through this journey, I discovered that Mindful Self-Compassion offered the essential element that helped me cultivate greater stability, emotional resilience, and a kinder relationship with myself.
After years of personal practice and training, I became increasingly aware of the misinformation and stigma surrounding mindfulness, meditation and self-compassion practices, which prevent people from accessing tools that could meaningfully support their well-being. This realization inspired me to create Inti Mindfulness, a space dedicated to sharing practical, evidence-based mindfulness and self-compassion practices in an accessible and supportive way. Inti, meaning “sun” in the Inca language, represents warmth, presence, and connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world—values that are at the heart of mindfulness and contemplative practice.
Originally from Peru and living in Canada for over twenty years, I bring a bilingual and bicultural perspective to my work. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, culturally sensitive, and deeply human learning environment, offering self-compassion courses and workshops in both English and Spanish to individuals and communities.
