UYM Charities has welcomed Gi Indoccio, LCMHC, as its first Aging Well practitioner, launching a new initiative to bring mindfulness-based wellness services directly to older adults in community settings across New Hampshire.
Indoccio, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in counseling and holistic health, will offer integrative sessions combining mindfulness practices, Reiki energy healing, and guided imagery. Her approach aligns with UYM’s mission to provide accessible, whole-person care that promotes dignity and connection in later life.
“Finding peace is simpler than you think,” said Indoccio, who holds a Master’s in Counseling and Applied Psychology from Antioch University. “When someone listens with true presence, the world just seems to slow down. For many participants, these sessions are the first time in ages they’ve felt truly heard and at peace.”
The Aging Well program addresses a critical need identified by the National Academies, which found that social isolation and loneliness in older adults raise risks for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and earlier death. UYM’s community-based approach expands access to evidence-based practices like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and complementary therapies at no cost to participants.
“We believe that aging is not just about adding years to life, but about adding life to your years,” said Rev. Dr. Robert Levey, UYM’s Executive Director. “Gi’s integrative methods help older adults develop resilience, find meaning, and reconnect with what matters most to them.”
UYM is currently seeking partnerships with community centers, libraries, senior centers, and other venues where older adults naturally gather to host Aging Well popup wellness sessions. UYM plans to focus on mindfulness programming with Indoccio through the remainder of 2025, with sessions designed to be accessible and welcoming to all backgrounds and belief systems.
Aging Well reflects UYM’s broader commitment to address interconnected challenges facing communities, recognizing that individual well-being and community resilience are deeply connected.
