Meet Curtis Smith,
Founder of Moment of Mindfulness
Detroit raised. Brooklyn built. Dallas-based.
After a career in tech sales that left me unfulfilled, I found my calling in education. When my mother passed away mid-career, mindfulness became my lifeline — and when I introduced it to my students, everything changed.
That moment of healing became Moment of Mindfulness LLC (MOM) — a methodology and company committed to empowering communities and organizations through mindfulness training, education, and keynote speaking. Rooted in nearly a decade of research across neuroscience, mindfulness, and performance optimization, MOM creates a paradigm shift in how people show up for themselves and others.
The Work
In 2013, I co-founded one of Brooklyn's top-rated public middle schools and built a school-wide mindfulness program from the ground up. Since then, I've transformed thousands of lives across 33+ NYC public schools using music, movement, art, and writing to activate the science-backed benefits of mindfulness.
I've partnered with the NYC Department of Education, Barack Obama's My Brother's Keeper Alliance, and school districts in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Minnesota — leading workshops for students, educators, and leadership teams alike.
On the corporate side, I've delivered programming for Lululemon, SoFi, UC Davis, St. John's University, and many more.
I also serve as Mindfulness Content Lead at Alkeme Health, Founding Educator at Roundglass, Mindfulness Teacher at Electives, and Mindfulness Coach at Wellness Coach.
I wake up every day doing work I love. Feeling aligned? Let's talk.
