About Me

I became interested in Buddhism around 1996 and began learning meditation, primarily as a way to cope with intense anxiety. I later spent a year in India in 1998, deepening my understanding of Buddhism and undertaking various meditation retreats.
After returning to the UK, I continued to practise within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Encountering mindfulness—first through MBSR, and later through training with the Mindfulness Association—was life-changing for my practice.
This led me to train as a teacher. I qualified in 2016 to teach the MBLC and in 2024 to teach the CBLC. I have taught to volunteers in a London hospice and carers in East London. During and since COVID, I have delivered several online courses to carers through an organisation in West Sussex.
I continue to teach both online and locally in Gwynedd, mid Wales, where I now live. Teaching deepens my mindfulness practice and brings a sense of meaning, as well as healing, to the suffering inherent in life.
