About Me

About Me

I am a mindfulness teacher, coach and facilitator with over 25 years of experience guiding learning in a variety of sectors and cultural environments. My personal journey to mindfulness practice began after a period of intense personal transition in 2013. My own experience of how mindfulness has transformed my relationship with my depression motivated me to train to teach and share mindfulness with others, and I became a BAMBA registered teacher in 2023. Introducing mindful compassion to my practice has been like finding the missing piece of a jigsaw, and this kind and warm approach infuses my teaching style.

A love of nature has been a consistent thread throughout my life and in recent years has come to the fore of my work, as a qualified Equine Facilitated Learning practitioner, nature-assisted coach, local certified community climate coach and IDG advocate in my adopted home country of Luxembourg. The intersection of mindfulness, compassion, nature-connection and sustainability is at the heart of my work.

I hold an MA in Mindfulness-Based Approaches from the world-renowned CMRP at Bangor University, where my research and teaching explored how mindfulness can support individual wellbeing alongside eco-awareness, working towards a bigger-than-self impact. I am also proud to be an MBI:TAC assessed teacher.

As well as teaching group mindfulness courses and supporting organisations with mindful wellbeing and sustainability, I offer a wealth of experience as a qualified coach and, during one to one mindfulness coaching and mentoring, support my clients to explore areas such as:

• Well-being and a mindful approach to life
• Nature-connection and eco-awareness
• Compassionate living, being kind to ourselves and living in flow with our values
• Interpersonal mindfulness
• Navigating transition and finding ease in the midst of change
• Mindful parenting

I am certified to teach Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the Deepening courses Mindfulness Based Compassionate Living (MBCL) and Deeper Mindfulness, as well as Oxford Mindfulness's short course, Introduction to Mindfulness.

I have trained in Mindfulness-Based Supervision (MBS) with the Mindfulness Network, and offer supervision and mentoring for mindfulness teachers, coaches and leaders, with a special focus on those wanting to develop an eco-aware practice in their teaching or coaching.

I am actively involved in the Inner Development Goals, and I believe mindfulness is a key way of being that can support us as we address the crisis of separation, from our own direct experience, from each other, and from the natural world.

I live in Luxembourg and work in person and on Zoom. Alongside teaching regular group courses, I offer mindful well-being coaching, supervision and mentoring for individuals, as well as providing mindfulness teaching in organisations and schools. My Realise Mindfulness podcast (available on my website and most podcast platforms) also offers a taste of foundational mindfulness teachings and practices (season one) and mindful compassion (season two).
