Mindfulness & Meditation
Mindfulness & Meditation

Mindfulness meditation has played a vital role on my own journey to wellness and supported me through some of the biggest challenges of my life. I also find it tremendously helpful in being able to better relate to my patients and better understand their strives, as it gives me an increased ability to attune to the feelings of others.

Mindfulness meditation has played a vital role on my own journey to wellness and supported me through some of the biggest challenges of my life. I also find it tremendously helpful in being able to better relate to my patients and better understand their strives, as it gives me an increased ability to attune to the feelings of others.
I love sharing this ancient technique, backed up by ever increasing body of high-quality evidence, with those who are interested. You can learn to meditate with me in individual sessions, or as part of a small group.
I have been running a MORNING MEDITATION group via ZOOM.
In early 2022, I will be running mindfulness and meditation workshops and explore how they can help us get well and stay well, as well as how to incorporate them into our busy lives.
