Having struggled from many years with anxiety depression and dis-ease (multiple sclerosis) I often found myself caught in unhelpful thinking cycles that sprung from low self-worth a lack of self-love and a body filled with pain and discomfort. I was far from living a wholesome happy healthy and contented life. From feeling in such a low desperate place I started to explore a more holistic path. Life changed when I found mindfulness (around 20 years ago), I took an 8 week mindfulness course which offered me a new way to experience my mind and body. I continued to practice mindfulness for myself but felt there was something still missing, turns out ther was! Kindness and compassion. Learning about self-kindness and compassion really helped me take my personal mindfulness practice to a much deeper level. I have had the privilege to work with many different teachers over the years experienced many different different teaching and healing styles, I have met my inner demons in underground earth lodges re-parented my inner child, worked with my shadow through lucid dreaming retreats and discovered more about myself from insight training. My journey has taken me out of my comfort zone at times and on others I have had a deep sense of coming home. My journey of learning is never done which excites me rather than frustrating me. I have found much relief and tranquillity in surrendering into the unfolding of life and the connection to the inner power and freedom that I was unaware existed within me. Learning from my own experience of courage, compassion and inner wisdom I am guided to share the tools I have learned along the way so others can experience their own transformational journey of healing through mindfulness, compassion self love and acceptance.
I am a fully qualified mindfulness teacher. I qualified in 2017 having taken the training pathway with the Mindfulness Association to teach the 8 week mindfulness based living course and then the 8 week compassion based living course. I then trained with the British Mindfulness Institute to convert my skills to teach children. I can be found on the BAMBA register for mindfulness teachers. My training continues as each year I attend mindfulness retreats and teachings this helps deepen my understanding and my teaching skills. I am passionate about health and wellbeing and am also qualified in various holistic treatments, energy movement, meridian healing tools and Cacao ceremonies all can have their own place within the healing journey.
I have worked with many people, charities, organisations and schools over the years on either a 1-1 or small group basis delivering mindfulness courses and classes, training days, wellness retreats and offering holistic wellbeing sessions.
