People come to Mindfulness for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it’s curiosity. Sometimes it’s the peace and quiet you felt in Savasana or Meditation during a yoga class, and you wanted to spend more time to connect to that feeling again.
Sometimes it’s wanting to understand the mind better, how to settle it, or how to gain clarity over a specific issue. A simple knowing that spending time training in Mindfulness will help you in what ever you do. Some may have a yearning to want to understand why people do what they do, or why they respond or react in certain ways.
The simplicity of doing what helps you feel better and learn these skills to help others feel better is enough !
I built this training from what I have seen in clinical rooms, in yoga studios, and in the quiet conversations after class or during trainings over many years – when people have shared why they come and how Mindfulness has helped with particular challenges.
Six modules. 110 accredited hours. Grounded in neuroscience and 30 years of clinical experience.
Whether you are here to teach others or to find your own footing — this program meets you where you are.
Whether you are here for yourself, for the people you care for, or for the students you will one day teach – the practices you experience in this training become inner resources (Mindful Tools) to help you in life.
People often attend this training from many directions – nearly all of them busy or time poor. Some in challenging life situations, needing tools to handle things better – personally or professionally. Some have been through their own healing with mindfulness or yoga and want to learn how to pass it on or be of service to help others. Some looking for supportive practices to handle certain diagnosis with better care. Diagnosis such as PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety or simply the challenges of dealing with excessive thoughts.
What ever your reasons – we meet you where you are at.

SIX MODULES DESIGNED TO HELP REAL LIFE CHALLENGES
* Presence Connection & Cultivating Contentment
Mindfulness is not just about ‘being present’. Understanding & building steady foundations based on clear intentions, nervous system regulation, safety and building ‘inner resources’. Customised and personalised practices that become doorways into reliable steadiness, ease and confidence to navigate life – including its challenges.
* Taming The Inner Critic & Automatic Judgements
Learning how to work with perfectionism, judgements or the inner critic so they don’t work against you. Automatic judgement from ourselves or others can be a source of stress and suffering. Learn practices and the neuroscience behind power of the pause and giving yourself a rest from your own opinions. Discover the bliss and the wisdom that can be found from simple practices you can incorporate in daily life.
* Anxiety, The Racing Mind & Sleep
This module looks at how to break the cycle of anxiety, rumination and various fragmented mind states and restore the nervous system – so things like sleep, activity/energy levels and contentment can begin to improve. Practices to help you ‘doubt your doubts’ and overcome the obstacles of the mind can become a path toward a more fulfilling life.
* Burnout & Overwhelm - Bringing Back The Joy
Building sustainable capacity without creating dis-ease. Balancing boundaries and prioritising the things that are the most meaningful. This part of the training explores the very real struggle with the juggle that we all have. Practices to cultivate joy & compassion while you have competing obligations can be one of the hardest parts yet offer the greatest benefits from practicing Mindfulness Based CBT & taking that a little deeper into positive neuroplasticity practices and yogic practices to help you bring back the joy. Looking at ways to respect window of tolerance in ourselves and others is key in terms of mental health and wellness.
* Mindfulness Based Conflict Resolution - Putting the Two Wings of Mindfulness into Practice
Adapting to challenging life changes. Practices to cultivate discernment, patience, acceptance and letting go. Developing an understanding of the neuroscience of various emotions, reactions and associated causes. This is one of the most powerful parts of the trainings – developing ways we can put the ‘Two Wings of Mindfulness’ – Compassion & Discernment into practice. This is where having a facilitator with an extensive background in Trauma Informed Care is so valuable. Not everyone responds the same way to different meditation practices – not everyone can access self compassion easily or in a brief introductory to Mindfulness. This is why it is important to give yourself time to understand why.
* Bouncing Back - Resilience - Turning Life Experience into Purpose
Becoming Trauma Informed & An Advocate for Trauma Aware Care.
Turning our Triggers into our best Teachers. Mindfulness Based Emotional Intelligence, responding with more skill. Developing self trust, inner confidence and self worth. Understanding that we all are part of a very important ripple effect in terms of Mental Health and taking good care of the ‘Mind’ and each other. There is always something we can do!

What People Notice
Sleep improves and the practices given can help them restore their Nervous System.
Connection Contentment & Safety!
Anxiety loosens its grip and understanding as to why it comes up and what it’s needing starts to arise.
Being able to prioritise their time in ways that bring them out of the ongoing fight flight freeze or trying to please everyone / or make it ok types of responses – and into more steadiness and ease (more of the time)
A quiet inner confidence develops based on trust – not necessarily needing to trust others – more trusting your own personal process and capacity.
More compassion for others and, although harder, noticing compassion for themselves starting to grow and improve.
Old habits such as overdoing it, people pleasing, saying yes when they mean no, start to soften and change for the better. Boundaries begin to feel like you are just being your authentic self, honouring what you really need in life.
Being able to have more authentic conversations. People find themselves moving toward what they actually want, rather than what has always been expected.
Grief finds a way to be okay and a way to transform into what’s needed for this part of life.
None of this is promised. All of this has been what many so far have experienced and witnessed.
