About Me

Mindfulness changed my life after a period of anxiety, low confidence and burnout. What began as a lifeline became a lifelong practice and the work I now share with others.

After leaving a successful senior career in the environmental sector, and inspired by a deepening interest in Buddhist practice, I trained as a Breathworks and MBSR Mindfulness Teacher and Supervisor.

Since founding Wild Awake Mindfulness in 2018, I have had the privilege of working with over 7,000 individuals, hundreds of communities, and partnered with organisations such as UK Gov Dept, BBC, Siemens, Greater Manchester Mental Health Services, Hexagon Care Services, RHS Bridgewater, Canal & River Trust amongst many others to deliver talks, workshops, training, events and retreats on mindfulness, mental health, stress, resilience, menopause and nature connection.

Until recently I was the Mindfulness Coordinator for the mental health charity Mind in Salford, where I led on the Practitioner Training Programme, a 12 month training pathway, training and supervising over 80 practitioners to become BAMBA accredited mindfulness teachers.

I am an Associate Trainer for Manchester Mind, Mind in Salford, The Whitworth Art Gallery, Hexagon Care Services and Breathworks.

Work with Me

I work in-person and online supporting individuals, organisations, schools and communities to build resilience, improve wellbeing, and develop a healthier and kinder relationship with themselves through mindfulness, self-compassion, nature connection/ forest bathing through a grounded trauma-informed approach.

My work combines evidence-based practice with Buddhist wisdom developed over 20 years, creating grounded, practical experiences resulting in greater clarity, choice, and resilience

Interested in Mindfulness Supervision?

I qualified as a Mindfulness Supervisor in 2020 with Breathworks and then supervision for MBSR. My Supervisor and Mentor is Vidyamala Birch (co-founder of Breathworks), who I meet with on a regular basis.

My interest in nature as a support for practice and teaching mindfulness is something that teachers I supervise find helpful. Please get in touch if this is of interest to you.
