Abigail Bruley
Abigail Bruley, founder of My Mind Salon, is a mindfulness teacher, trauma peer mentor, and accessibility consultant working at the intersection of brain health, creativity, and inclusion.
​
She trained at the Myrna Brind Center for Mindfulness at Jefferson University, the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Medicine Center for Mindfulness, and Brown University School of Public Health, where she received her qualification to teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

After acquiring a traumatic brain injury, Abigail’s recovery fostered a deep understanding of neuroplasticity and the ways attention, environment, and care shape the mind. She brings this insight into her mindfulness teaching, guiding others through practices that support resilience, healing, and meaningful change.
Alongside this work, Abigail has served as a Production Accessibility Coordinator on Emmy-winning television and feature film sets, advocating for disabled and neurodivergent creatives through thoughtful access design and inclusive practice.

An artist and filmmaker, she creates bold, authentic, and surreal work that explores cognition, identity, and inner experience—an imaginative lens that continues to inform her approach to mind work.
