The mindfulness course can help with stress, anxiety, depression, ruminating, insomnia, restlessness and also anyone who just wants to develop a practice of becoming more aware and more present.
About the 8 week course
So much of the time we can find ourselves being caught up in ruminations, self blame, filled with anxiety or fear about the future as well as the past. Life just seems to be passing us by.
Cultivating mindfulness means learning to become more present to ourselves, others, and life with greater acceptance and kindness. So the course does not remove the difficulties we face in life but it enables us to relate to them in a radically different and transformative way.

As a central part of the course is the home practice we also look at how that might work for you. If you decide to go ahead a non refundable deposit secures your place.
I was introduced to silence and sitting with the breath as a teenager and have been meditating for over 40 years.
My background is in NHS work with parents and infants in the community and I am also trained as a yoga teacher and have an MSc in complementary therapies
My journey has taken me from an emphasis on living/ working/ caring through ‘doing’ and ‘fixing’ to an increased orientation towards being and allowing and the developing of the practice of awareness, presence and compassion.
I have drawn inspiration from all the great Wisdom traditions, but especially Buddhism and the inner esoteric Christian tradition as well as yoga teachings. The real teacher is always present internally and the body an ever present source of wisdom.
Over the years I came to realise that I wanted to share the insights of the mindfulness journey with others and so undertook the Bangor University mindfulness teacher training course and have been teaching mindfulness since 2013.
