About Me

I started teaching in 2020 and am registered to teach the MBLC course. Most of my teaching has been within my work as a Wellbeing Practitioner at Thistle Foundation. I teach people living with long-term health conditions, who experience anxiety and depression and difficult life circumstances who are referred to the Midlothian Wellbeing Service by GPs, mental health nurses, physios and other health practitioners. I also taught my first Everyone Project MBLC course last year, in partnership with the Community Link Worker Team at a GP surgery, who referred people to the course. My other passion is in teaching mindfulness outside and for the last few years I have been delivering a 5 week Mindfulness in Nature Course which I created. I mostly teach face to face and have also done some online teaching. I am a trained social worker and have also used mindfulness based approaches in staff development sessions.
