My Story 

​

 I graduated in Biology at Durham University and I entered the workplace at the Science Museum in London. Science and particularly the Medical Sciences were my first loves, however a taste of the stress and pressure of city life, led me to take off on a travelling adventure and find out what it was I really wished for out of life.

 

Whilst living and working in South East Asia I gravitated towards Buddhism and the Ayurvedic approach to wellness and health. I took a  course in 'Chakra Consciousness' in India where I qualified as a teacher. These events changed my whole outlook and meditation/natural healing became a informed part of my life. 

 

 On returning to the UK, two children later, and having decided to completely switch career, I worked in a Natural Health business whilst further training in Stress Therapy, Holistic Therapies, Aromatherapy, Acupressure and Reiki Healing  

 

​

In 2017 I qualified as a Mindfulness Association teacher and UK registered with the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches following the UK good practice guidelines. In 2019 I qualified as a Compassion Based Living Teacher with the Mindfulness Association.

​

In recent years I have delivered Mindfulness based interventions to recovering addicts (5-Ways Academy), leaders working with vulnerable adults (HHP), city workers  (NHS Digital) (HMRC) , Sixth form pupils and with the UK Medical Research Council into approaches to mental health in adolescents. I recorded a professionally produced audio version of the MBLC course for the Mindfulness Association UK. I  have created  Meditation videos on social media sites.

 

Throughout the global pandemic I hosted a range of freely accessible 'mindfulness for comfort' classes online 

 

I am part of the Kagyu Sangha of Tibetan Buddhism and practice at Samye Dzong, Samye Ling and with Mindsprings.  I regularly attend immersive training retreats both in the UK and in South East Asia. This intense training informs my work on every level.    

       

I combine my multi-disciplinary skills, my extensive client-based experience and my deep belief in the power of our mind-states to create a unique, secular and considered approach to personal wellness and natural health.

  

Communicating through social media, magazine articles and blogs keeps me abreast of new developments and research into my diverse areas of interest. 

 

Other than that, I am committed to be happy and compassionate in my work, with my family, with the people I meet and the world around me. I am very grateful to my many guides and influences. 

 

 Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
