Cultivating awareness. Nurturing compassion. Transforming the way we live, learn and work.

My Journey with Mindfulness

My journey with mindfulness began in a school culture that recognised the importance of nurturing educators’ wellbeing alongside that of their students. It was here that I discovered a powerful truth: to teach mindfulness, we must first learn to embody it ourselves.

As I integrated mindfulness into my own life and classroom practice, I witnessed a remarkable transformation. What had once felt chaotic gradually became a calmer, more connected learning environment, where children developed greater emotional awareness and self-regulation. Mindfulness transformed not only my teaching, but the way I listened, responded and related to others.

Inspired by this experience, I pursued specialist training in mindfulness education in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and later qualified as a mindfulness meditation teacher for adults through the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Programme (MMTCP), offered by the Awareness Training Institute in collaboration with the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.

My Approach

I believe mindfulness is not about emptying the mind, eliminating stress or striving to feel happy all the time.
