A commitment to learning, practice and teaching
My teaching is grounded in established mindfulness approaches, supported by ongoing learning and a commitment to continuing my own practice.
Mindfulness is not simply something I teach. It is a practice I continue to develop through training, personal practice, retreats and ongoing study.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to sit cross legged to do mindfulness practice!

Personal Practice
Personal practice is an essential part of my development as a mindfulness teacher. As part of my training, I completed a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat at Dhamma Dīpa in Herefordshire in August 2024.
I returned to Dhamma Dīpa for a second 10-day silent retreat in September 2026, to continue to deepen my own practice.
