About Me

My mindfulness journey started long ago when I was in my early twenties. Like many people who have a passion for mindfulness, I found my path through the pain of experiencing tough times. In those days it wasn’t called mindfulness, but the ideology was the same, and it is a practice that I have repeatedly turned to as I’ve navigated my way through the increasing demands of modern life.

In 2021 I participated in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme with Mindfulness UK, and it was this course that helped me integrate regular mindfulness practice into my daily routines, rather than only turning to practice when I was struggling. This is where the real magic happens. Those tough times tend not to come back quite so often, and when they do, they are a little less tough and a lot more manageable.

I have since become so passionate about how beneficial and therapeutic regular mindfulness practice is for our mental health and wellbeing, that I decided to share my passion with others. In 2023 I registered with Mindfulness UK to complete the MBSR teacher training pathway, and in January 2025 I became a certified mindfulness and MBSR teacher.

In January 2024, while completing my teacher training, I developed Be & Breathe, my mindfulness business that offers my services both in person and online. I guide mindful walks in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside and I lead regular meditation sessions and half-day retreats on Zoom and in person. I teach people of all ages, both in groups and one-to-one, depending on the needs of my clients.

I am fully insured with Balens Specialist Insurance Brokers and I am registered with BAMBA and adhere to their good practice guidelines. I am a full community member with Mindfulness UK and regularly attend a wide variety of their CPD retreats, masterclasses and other activities on offer.

I live in Wiltshire with my husband, two children and two Labradors. As well as being a mindfulness practitioner, teacher and facilitator, I work in the live music events industry for our own London-based event crew company, I wild swim all year round, I take long country walks with my dogs, and I love to read.
