  - [Paula Strong](https://www.tm.org/en-us/teachers/paula-strong): I'm originally from Missoula, MT, and received my BA in Fine Arts/Music from Seattle University in 1975. In 1973 I learned the TM technique. This transformed my fatigued, stressed, just-getting-by state of mind, to one of curiosity and joy in the learning process (and my GPA went up and up!). I became increasingly fascinated with TM, and its many benefits. Upon graduating from Seattle U, I traveled to Europe to become a TM teacher. The training program was a rigorous 6-month, in-residence course, and I’m forever grateful I took that step. To have been able to teach TM to so many people, and see them blossom and grow (sometimes from debilitating psychological or physical stresses), has been satisfying beyond description. Whether someone comes to TM to calm anxiety, sleep better, lower high blood pressure, improve relationships, or something else, the positive growth TM brings about is usually noticed fairly quickly. Extensive, peer-reviewed research shows TM is a powerful stress-buster!

 Since becoming a TM teacher, I’ve taught all over the US: Montana, Iowa (where I worked at Maharishi International University for 20 years), Seattle, Baltimore (2 years), Connecticut, Houston (8 years), and internationally, in the Philippines, and Thailand.
