Learning with
Now Mindfulness
In 2014, having completed a Mindfulness Based Living Course, I began to practice mindfulness regularly and find the skills useful in many aspects of life.
As a qualified nurse, with a degree in Health Studies, a Post Graduate Certificate of Education and much experience teaching health related topics; I was keen to share the skills of mindfulness with others who may benefit. Mindfulness teacher training followed, enabling me to teach you mindfulness skills within the context of broader health and well-being expertise.
In 2024 I joined the BAMBA (British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches) register, entry to this requires rigorous in-depth training and assessment. To remain on the register I adhere to BAMBA Good Practice Guidelines.
Influenced by my health-care and teaching background, this mindfulness teaching is informed by a strong evidence-base. I continue to study and take part in regular supervision to ensure my knowledge is up-to date and the teaching shared is ethical and safe.
There are a range of courses to choose from so that you can choose one relevant to you and your life.
