Would you like to experience life with less stress?

​There is a tendency in modern life for us to live in our heads, analysing the past, planning and worrying about the future, storing stress and emotion in our bodies and living on ‘autopilot’ with habitual patterns and behaviours.​

 

Mindfulness is a way of living life with more open awareness, and of living in each ‘present moment’ as it exists. It is a way of becoming aware of our state of being and starting to choose where to focus our attention in an accepting, non-judgemental and non-striving way. ​It can help us to regulate our emotions, reduce rumination and self-critical thinking and to develop a kindness towards ourselves and others.  

 

When used regularly in daily life, mindfulness can reduce stress and anxiety, deepen relationships at work and at home and lead to a greater sense of physical and mental wellbeing.​​​

Why Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a life skill, that can be used to:

​

  • Reduce our experience of stress, overwhelm and burnout
     

  • Enable us to better live through our difficulties, such as chronic illness
     

  • Enhance our experience of the good things in our lives
     

  • Help with focus
     

  • Enhance our wellbeing​

"Mindfulness is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively"

Sharon Salzburg, Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation

What does it involve?

The ‘practice’ of Mindfulness includes:

​

  • Awareness of thought patterns and emotions
     

  • Meditation techniques to cultivate focus
     

  • Gentle mindful movement to reconnect mind and body
     

  • Grounding practices to manage stress/anxiety
     

  • Bringing mindful awareness into our everyday lives, in everything we do and in how we respond to situations and events

 

Practising mindfulness lets you step back from your thoughts, rumination and emotions so you can see them more clearly. This can help in coping with whatever life brings by responding rather than reacting.

"I truly believe that bringing Mindfulness into our everyday lives can make the storms easier to navigate and help us to appreciate every pocket of joy along the way."

Who is Mindfulness for?

This course is for anyone looking to improve their overall wellbeing. It can be especially useful for those experiencing stress, burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, mild to moderate depression, looping negative thought patterns, chronic fatigue, lack of focus, but equally for those who are simply intrigued.

 

Mindfulness is considered very safe and beneficial for most people, however, it may not be suitable for individuals experiencing severe trauma, PTSD, active psychosis, or acute emotional distress. It would also be important that I know about any conditions such as epilepsy and asthma. Sessions are not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. Whilst mindfulness is a useful and beneficial  tool, I do not claim to cure anything. If you are unsure, please contact me via the contact form.

 

This 8-week course is aimed at adults, but a new online 6-week course will be starting in 2026 for young people aged 14-17 together with a parent/guardian.

​

This course can be a useful tool for those with chronic illness and fatigue, such as ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Long Covid. If you are interested in doing the course, but the long sessions are too much for you, then I can tailor a course to your energy capacity. Through personal experience, I understand. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss options.
