This course is for people who want to learn the tools, techniques and practices to live a more peaceful life. It might be that you are finding your emotions challenging, struggling with otherthinking or facing burnout. It might be that you are seeking an effective way to manage stress, anxiety or pain. It might be that you are seeking a way to be more present, patient, less judgemental and to be kinder to yourself. Or perhaps you have been recommended by a doctor or other healthcare professional to practice mindfulness.

If in reading through this page you are noticing a calling, a glimmer of hope, a curiosity or excitement...then I would suggest you take the next step on your journey with me - you won't be disappointed. The only thing I ask is that you are inspired to change and ready to put the work in for these 8 weeks. Mindfulness is like going to the mind-gym and I am your personal trainer - you can rewire your brain and retune your nervous system in these 8 weeks. Participants often notice changes in the way they think and feel in just a few weeks when they put in the work...it's incredible. It's not a quick-fix (spoiler: there are no quick fixes) but as long as you are ready to learn and practice...you really can change your life. There is plenty to keep you motivated. Not only will you attend weekly group sessions, you will also be sent weekly extensive interactive .pdf worksheets with all of the theory, many exercises, diagrams, links to videos, quotes, all of the latest research referenced, mini quizzes etc. In addition you will have a new set of audio practices each week. If you have specific health challenges or a history of trauma, please get in touch so we can arrange a call together (free of charge) to make sure the group program is the right choice for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do get in touch (contact details on the contact page of the main menu).

This course includes the curriculum of a British Psychological Society approved mindfulness programme which combines Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction & Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. We cover this whole programme as well as material from other body-centred modalities such as yoga therapy, breathwork and somatics. This isn't a teaching certification (i.e. you will not be certified to teach this course on completion as this requires further training, to which I can sign post you onwards after completion) You will receive a certificate on completion of the course.

If you are working with the effects of trauma, or have a diagnoses of PTSD or C-PTSD, I recommend we book a discovery call to discuss before deciding the best way to work together. I'm a trauma informed practitioner so am sensitive to the effects of trauma on the mind and the body, however, a group setting will not necessarily be the right setting for you. It might be that working 1-2-1 will be more appropriate to ensure I can give you my whole attention and co-create a bespoke programme that will ensure you feel safe throughout. You can find out more about 1-2-1 coaching and book a free 30 minute discovery call here.

Yes – you will get a certificate of attendance after completing the 8 week course (attendance at the live sessions or catching up on the video recordings is required). Please note this is an informational and educational course, not a certification programme.

Yes. I take on a small number of clients for 1-2-1 work either over Zoom or in-person in Salisbury. This is particularly useful if you are working with specific challenges or if you have a history of trauma, as I can adapt the programme to you and your needs. You can find out more about working together 1-2-1 please book a free 20 minute consultation call here.

I am a licensed practitioner of the British Psychological Society approved Mindfulness Now programme. I am also a certified yoga teacher, have done additional training in meditation, yoga therapy, integrative somatic trauma therapy, counselling and trauma-informed practice. To see my full list of qualifications and experience please see the 'about me' page.

The investment for the course is: £200 (before 31st July 2024) £220 (after 31st July 2024) To secure your space, please follow the booking links on this page. You will be prompted to fill out your booking form and health questionnaire and then to make payment of either a £50 deposit or your full fees.

Usually there are a few people who have to miss some sessions, it is better to be at all of them, but you can still do the course with some gaps. I record all of the practices and also send comprehensive notes after each session, and anyone who misses a session I will be happy to have a catch up on zoom to make sure you are up to speed with anything missed.

Absolutely, if you want to repeat the course as a catch up or to reinvigorate your practice, you are very welcome to. If you have done a mindfulness course with another teacher before, some of the content may be similar but I put myself into this course too so it is unique. If you have done 1-2-1 mindfulness sessions with me, it is likely we have covered most of the material together but you are welcome to join if you would like the group experience and practcie accountability.

The research tells us that 20 mins of mindfulness a day, for 8 weeks rewires our brain for greater wellbeing. Research also tells us that just 5 minutes of somatic breathing exercises a day can also enhance your wellbeing. So aim to do at least a few minutes of practice each day, or most days, and some longer practices as and when you are able to.
