About Me

I became interested in Buddhism, and started meditating, in my late teens. Many years later, I started attending courses with Rob Nairn, who went on to found the Mindfulness Association (MA). After giving up my career as a marine biologist, I completed the MSc in Mindfulness at Aberdeen University, and in 2012 I started teaching on MA courses.

I teach a wide range of mindfulness courses and retreats to the general public, both in person and online, as well teaching on the MA teacher-training pathway. I also teach on the “Insight” module of the Aberdeen University MSc programme.

In addition to teaching Mindfulness, Compassion and Insight, I also work for a homeless charity in Glasgow.
