About Me

I met mindfulness through the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR) in 2005, during a difficult period, and it has been a steady support in my life and work ever since. Since 2014, I have brought mindfulness-based approaches into coaching, leadership and resilience programs, and since 2025 I have taught MBSR formally. I hold an MSc in Mindfulness-Based Wellbeing from University College Cork and am an EMCC-accredited executive coach with a background in psychology and organisational development.
I am registered to teach MBSR, Introduction to Mindfulness (3-week or half-day), Mindfulness in the Workplace, Cultivating Resilience and Wellbeing, retreats and bespoke programs. I teach in workplaces, in higher education and with the general public. Sessions are online globally, face-to-face in the UAE and GCC, and hybrid for bespoke work. I work with people from many cultures and backgrounds.
I am interested in how people meet life’s challenges, including the pressures of working life, and have developed MBSR-adapted programs for workplace settings. I am also interested in what helps people flourish, and I draw on nature, art and positive psychology, particularly awe and savouring. I teach from my own practice, inviting people to explore their experience with curiosity and kindness. There is warmth and joy in my programs, and depth too.
