We believe that the greatest success in life is to be happy. When one is happy they thrive in whatever they do. To achieve this goal, requires the balance of four states of being:
-The Mental
-The Physical
-The Spiritual
-The Emotional
We understand that bringing balance to these areas of life require support, love and understanding. It is our mission to create that awareness in ourselves and others so we all might thrive in the balance of life.

Burkley is a Midway, Utah native, deeply connected to his community as a fourth generation member of early settlers who established roots in Midway in the 1860s... After graduating from Wasatch High School in 1998, Burkley chose to serve a two-year LDS mission in Cape Town, South Africa, which enriched his perspective and deepened his commitment to service.
Upon returning in 2001, Burkley attended Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, where he began working as a real estate property manager. Inspired by this experience, he obtained his real estate license and spent several years in the industry. However, the 2008 recession prompted him to pivot and embark on a new venture. Together with his father, Karl T. Probst, a seasoned food product development consultant, Burkley co-founded KTP Tec, a business dedicated to helping private companies develop and establish successful food brands.
Burkley and his father later fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening a family restaurant in their beloved hometown. In the fall of 2018, they launched The Corner Restaurant in Midway, Utah, where they joyfully served their community until 2021, when they decided to sell the restaurant to pursue other business goals. This is when the early seeds of Meta-Mindful Connection were sown.
Meta-Mindful Connection is a culmination of Burkley’s personal journey and professional experiences. Having personally benefited from mindfulness techniques in his own life, Burkley is passionate about bringing these practices to our youth, particularly in education and everyday life. He recognizes the challenges faced by students, parents, and teachers in today's learning environment and is committed to fostering a mindset for success through mindfulness.
As an advocate for mindfulness, Burkley’s vision for Meta-Mindful Connection is to inspire confidence, happiness, and productivity in students. He aims to empower students to actively participate in their lives, guiding them to prioritize tasks, set meaningful goals, and cultivate positive habits. Burkley believes that through journaling, planning, meditation, and visualization, students can develop the skills needed to enhance focus, balance, and overall well-being.
Burkley also desires to instill essential life skills in students, helping them navigate their educational journeys with clarity and purpose. He is committed to providing the guidance and support necessary to help young people build a strong foundation for their future, making mindfulness an integral part of their lives.
