I am a British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (BAMBA) registered mindfulness teacher whose work brings together secular mindfulness, contemplative wisdom, philosophy, and education to explore what it means to live with awareness, depth, and compassion.
Through teaching, writing, podcasting, and collaboration, my work supports individuals, professionals, and organisations to cultivate resilience, nurture wellbeing, and discover how mindfulness can transform the way we live, learn, work, and educate.
I offer retreats, regular sessions, one-to-one Mindfulness-Based Life Alignment Sessions (MBLA), as well as the 8-week Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the 4-week Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) programmes. I also offer mindfulness teacher training and one-to-one sessions to groups and individuals.
