About Me

I first encountered Mindfulness in 2012 on a Mindfulness Based Stressed Reduction Course. The very first session become a pivotal point in my life. Soon after, I trained and delivered “.b” and “paws b” curricula with Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP), which is part of both formal and extra-curricular national programmes. I have successfully taught young people and children in a number of schools in London.

​

As my confidence and knowledge around the subject grew, I started feeling the need to work with adults. With encouragement and support from my colleagues and friends, I trained as a Mindfulness teacher at Bangor University.

​

The first course that I led for adults, even though challenging and scary at the time, made me realise that I wanted to commit to the work of sharing my experience and knowledge by working with adults. I continue learning and expanding my knowledge in this field as well as making contributions to projects such as Mindfulness Curriculum for students aged 11-16 in Poland, of which I am the co-author.

​

Mindfulness has become a resource that I draw onto in times of difficulty and also a magnifying glass for the joys that I encounter on the way. I believe that the openness and self-discovery through non-judgemental awareness can lead to a healthier, calmer and more satisfying life.

 

My journey of mindfulness is one that I would like to share with others as it is the practice that has given me the opportunity to discover my potential.

​

I continue learning and expanding my knowledge about how we learn and fulfil our potential and in May 2021 I became a certified Mental Health Trainer. 

​

I am a certified and listed teacher at BAMBA, the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (formerly the UK Network for Mindfulness Based Teacher Training Organisations). I abide by their Good Practice Guidelines that include receiving regular supervision, holding professional indemnity insurance, engaging in continuing professional development and maintaining my own daily meditation practice.

​

At the beginning of 2022 I became retreat coordinator at the Sharpham Coach House Retreat Centre where I coordinate mindfulness and nature connection retreats for 14 months. I now lead retreats at the Sharpham House Retreat Centre.

​

This role has allowed me to align with what I value most and commit more deeply to my practice.
