I feel most privileged to call myself a Mindfulness teacher and Supervisor. My early interest in mindfulness stemmed from my practice of Yoga, and for several years as a Yoga teacher, I incorporated meditation into my yoga classes. I trained as a Mindfulness teacher at Exeter University in 2017, and then studied for an MSc in Mindfulness-Based Approaches at Bangor University, which I completed in 2020. My research focused on how mindfulness can help people live with chronic pain. I have worked in the NHS since 2012 and regularly offer MBCT to clients and occasionally offer a Mindfulness-Based course to NHS staff. I facilitate weekly 30-minute drop-in mindfulness sessions for NHS staff. I have also trained with Frits Koster to deliver MBCL courses. I am keen to share my knowledge and support others in their practice of mindfulness in a compassionate and joyful way.
In 2025, I became a co-director of Mindfulness Cornwall, offering MBCT-L courses, monthly online drop-in mindfulness sessions, and day retreats.
