About Me

I am a mindfulness and compassion teacher and supervisor. My teaching is grounded in my own mindfulness and compassion practices. I found mindfulness at a difficult time in my life, when I was anxious and sad. Attending an 8-week mindfulness course was very beneficial. The mindfulness meditation practices and the approaches I learned helped me to feel calmer, to be less overwhelmed by difficulties and to notice and appreciate the little things in life that bring joy. The course also taught kindness and compassion mediations, it took me a while to engage with these but now I benefit from being less harsh with myself and from being kinder and more compassionate towards others. I teach mindfulness and compassion courses to the general public and in organisations. I work online, and in person in the West Midlands and London. As well as teaching the general public, I have taught mindfulness and compassion to people in the work place, to therapists working in charites, and to teachers and pupils working in schools and universities. I first trained to teach mindfulness with Breathworks-mindfulness (www.breathworks.mindfulness.org.uk) and began teaching in 2012. I wanted to learn more about mindfulness and compassion so, in 2013, I enrolled on an MSc in Studies in Mindfulness and Associated Concepts which was delivered by the University of Aberdeen and the Mindfulness Association https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net). I completed this in 2017. I am qualified to teach Breathworks Mindfulness for Stress courses and the Mindfulness Association’s Mindfulness Based Living Course and Compassion Based Living Course. I have trained to deliver courses for teachers and pupils with the Mindfulness in Schools Project and to deliver the Frantic World course for businesses with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. I can also create bespoke courses and workshops. I love supporting the learning of others and seeing them benefit from cultivating greater mindfulness, kindness and compassion.
