I’m passionate about wellbeing, mindfulness, breathwork and movement. As a secondary school teacher and senior leader teaching I experienced the transformative impact of Mindfulness in recovering from burnout and stress in 2013, I had been teaching for over 20 years in Glasgow and Cardiff. This inspired me to train as a Mindfulness teacher and share its benefits widely within the school /staff environment.

 

I trained initially with the Mindfulness in Schools Project to teach Mindfulness lessons  in my school. I then went on to gain an MSc in Psychological Research and Practice and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy at the University of Exeter and left teaching in 2015.  Since then I have  delivered hundreds of 8-week Mindfulness courses, workshops, and wellbeing sessions to adults, young people, and staff in schools, workplaces, and local communities. 

 

I moved back to Scotland in 2021 and I now combine my freelance work with a part-time role as a Training Development Lead for a local mental health charity in Glasgow , teaching wellbeing to children and young people in schools, adults in community settings and staff in schools. I recently gained a Level 3 qualification as  Breathwork Coach and a Dance instructor with Joimove Dance, to add to my set of skills.

My interests are wide and varied but I love mindful walking on beaches , especially in West Wales, forest bathing in local woods,  I love Tai chi and attend classes on a regular basis, dancing argentine tango, salsa and modern jive, meditation, yoga, pilates, healthy eating and cooking, spending time with family and cafe culture!
