MINDFULNESS & WELLBEING
Cultivating awareness. Nurturing compassion.
Transforming the way we live, learn and work.
MY JOURNEY
From the classroom to a lifelong practice
It started in a school that valued educators’ wellbeing as much as students’. Mindfulness was introduced as a way of being, not just a classroom tool, and I came to see that teaching mindfulness requires practising it personally.
Integrating mindfulness changed my classroom from chaotic to calmer and more connected. Children gained emotional awareness, learned to pause and self-regulated better, and it changed how I listened, responded and taught.
Specialist mindfulness-in-education training followed in the UK and US. I then qualified as a mindfulness meditation teacher for adults through the MMTCP, run by the Awareness Training Institute with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Today my work spans individuals, groups, workplaces and organisations.
MY APPROACH
Present, compassionate and practical
Mindfulness is not about emptying the mind, removing stress or pursuing constant happiness. It is about being present, noticing habitual patterns, and responding rather than reacting.
Experiential
Sessions are experiential and compassionate, grounded in practice.
At your pace
Non-judgemental, at each participant’s pace, and without outcome pressure.
In context
Wellbeing is shaped by relationships, environments and systems as well as personal choices.
