Like most of the people I work with, I found my way to mindfulness at a time of high stress when my children were young and I was juggling the demands of running my own business while trying to be a 'good' mum, daughter, partner and friend all at the same time.

In a state of desperation I wanted to see for myself whether mindfulness  could help me to stop shouting quite so much and maybe ease the continuous low level hum of panic I had about whether I could cope each day.

So I signed myself up to an introductory 8 week mindfulness course and invested in the book 'Finding peace in a frantic world' (detailed in the resources page) and by the time I had finished both I was hooked.

Bit by bit I began to notice how the practice helped me calm my anxieties, slow down my racing mind and make space for the things that mattered in my world.

Over the years I have quite literally transformed the way I live and who I am in such a powerful way that I knew I wanted to share the potential of mindfulness with others who may also be struggling.

Although I went on to formally train as a Mindfulness Teacher I believe the best lessons I've learnt about how to apply mindfulness in real life have been learnt through the ups and downs of life experience. It's with this in mind that I endeavour to teach in a way that is down to earth, practical and most of all lighthearted.
