For 26 years, I worked in the NHS, in non-clinical roles, focusing on workforce development and online learning. Over that time, I witnessed how staff commit long hours to work, wrestle with numerous conflicting priorities, and are often overwhelmed, constantly in ‘doing’ mode. For this reason, I began to lead short mindfulness sessions with my colleagues. These highlighted to me how much mindfulness could offer.
High levels of stress and anxiety are not just reserved for people working in the health sector; the pace and volume of modern-day work has effects on people working across all sectors. This is what motivated me to train to become a mindfulness teacher. I offer a variety of mindfulness courses, from one-off sessions to longer 8-week programmes, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I’m also specially trained to deliver mindfulness in arts, and integrate creative practices into my teaching, offering a unique and engaging experience.
