Courses and sessions
I bring together my authentic warmth, with experience and wide training so that the programmes I offer really do help people cultivate their emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing, leading to greater resilience and growth.
I have trained widely in this area, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), the original and most scientifically-proven mindfulness programme.
Research has shown measurable benefits lasting after good-quality mindfulness training - see information about the evidence-base at the base of the page.

Evidence-Based
Evidence supports the benefit of mindfulness to health and wellbeing, with results showing positive effects on several aspects of whole-person health. This includes the mind, the brain, the body and behaviour, as well as a person’s relationships with others. Mindfulness has also shown to help with a number of conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, addictive behaviours and physical problems, like hypertension, heart disease and chronic pain.

The benefits of mindfulness meditation include increased concentration, productivity, physical and psychological resilience and the ability to respond skilfully to stressful situations. Meditation is also effective in decreasing depression, physical pain, emotional reactivity and the reliance on unhealthy coping behaviors.
