About us

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.

I started meditating over 30 years ago and have found it fundamental for personal growth and wellbeing, it continues to help live life fully and face difficulties with increased open heartedness, and compassion.

I also work as a psychotherapist in private practice. I am a BACP accredited therapist and have completed a five-year training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a mindful based body orientated psychotherapy.

A wish to integrate my therapeutic work with my meditation practice drew me to Mindfulness and Buddhist psychology The secular approach to mindfulness attracted me because it combines so well the ancient eastern wisdom with modern western science.

I have completed Mindfulness Teacher Training at Bangor University and been teaching Eight Week Mindfulness courses since 2005.
