I am a qualified mindfulness practitioner and teacher having trained with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre and the Mindfulness Association and have completed a 3 year MSc Studies in Mindfulness with the University of Aberdeen.

My aim is to help people develop the skills and techniques needed to live as well-balanced, harmoniously and compassionately as we can.  I am also a qualified teacher and have worked with young people and adults in compulsory and further education for the past 30 years.

As a Teacher Member of the Mindfulness Association I am trained and qualified to teach the following courses:

Mindful Based Living Course (MBLC)
Compassion Based Living Course (CBLC)
Mindful Based Living Course for Young Adults (MBLC-YA)
Finding Peace in a Frantic World

I have also undertaken further professional development in Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness with David Treleaven. 

I abide by the ongoing Good Practice Guidelines laid down by BAMBA (British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches). This requires that I maintain my own regular mindfulness practice, participate in at least one annual mindfulness retreat and commit to ongoing Continued Professional Development through further training.  I hold appropriate insurance to teach mindfulness, have regular supervision and participate in networking and practising with other mindfulness teachers.
