Mindfulness has shaped my life in profound ways. I began practising around seven years ago and, over time, it has become a steady and supportive presence in how I live, work, and relate to others.
My practice has taught me to meet experience as it is — noticing thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations with greater awareness and kindness. Rather than being driven by habit or reactivity, mindfulness has helped me create space, slow down, and respond more skilfully to life’s challenges.
Like many people, I once lived at a fast pace, often caught in thought, self-judgement and striving. Through mindfulness, I began to recognise how easily we can be pulled away from the present moment — and how much becomes available when we learn to pause and pay attention.
Over time, this practice has supported greater calm, resilience and self-compassion, not by removing difficulty, but by changing how I relate to it. I have come to understand the mind and body as one interconnected system, and to see thoughts as passing events rather than fixed truths.
Mindfulness continues to teach me — daily — how to live with greater presence and balance, not only for my own wellbeing, but in how I show up for others.
This lived experience, alongside my formal training and teaching, is what I bring into the mindfulness spaces I hold. I am deeply committed to offering this work in a way that is safe, grounded and inclusive, supporting people to find their own capacity for awareness, resilience and choice.
