Reiki level 2 ✨ About Me

I am a trained and accredited Mindfulness Teacher based in Blackburn, Lancashire, with a professional background in the public sector dating back to 2003. I am also a qualified social worker, bringing a wealth of frontline experience and compassionate understanding to my mindfulness work. Mindfulness Training and Delivery

In 2016, I completed a year-long practitioner training in mindfulness with Youth Mindfulness. This immersive course supported the deepening of my personal practice and encouraged me to explore and transform habitual patterns of thought and behaviour. It also equipped me to deliver mindfulness courses with authenticity, integrity, and compassion. In 2018, I furthered my qualifications by undertaking an externally accredited mindfulness teacher training course with the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). This qualification allowed me to develop and deliver bespoke mindfulness programmes across a range of settings. I have also trained in children’s mindfulness education and, between 2018 and 2020, worked with over 1,500 children and young people across schools. My work extends to corporate and community settings, supporting individuals of all ages in cultivating present-moment awareness and emotional resilience. My Approach to Mindfulness

Mindfulness invites us to slow down, pause, and respond to life with greater clarity, presence, and open-hearted awareness. It is not a quick fix, but a practice—much like physical exercise—that requires consistency and intention. By learning to be with what is, moment by moment, we begin to shift from habitual reactivity to conscious presence. In today’s fast-paced world, we are often lost in doing—distracted, overthinking, and overwhelmed. Mindfulness helps us reconnect with the present moment, allowing us to experience more joy, ease, and self-compassion, even in the midst of challenge. Scientific research has shown that mindfulness strengthens the grey matter in the prefrontal cortex—an area of the brain responsible for emotional regulation, decision-making, and stress response. With regular practice, we create more space between stimulus and response, enabling us to meet life with greater balance and intention. Additional Therapeutic Tools: NLP & IEMT

In addition to my mindfulness training, I am also trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT). These modalities complement mindfulness by offering powerful tools for emotional regulation and change work.
• NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a method of understanding and reprogramming the mental and emotional patterns we develop throughout life. It explores how our thoughts, language, and behaviours interact, enabling individuals to shift limiting beliefs, improve communication, and develop more resourceful states of mind.
• IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) is a rapid-change modality that works directly with the brain’s neurological processing. It is particularly effective in reducing the emotional impact of distressing memories, patterns of negative self-identity, and limiting emotional responses. IEMT uses guided eye movements to support the brain in reprocessing stuck emotional states without the need for detailed verbal disclosure. Together, mindfulness, NLP, and IEMT offer a comprehensive and integrative approach to emotional well-being, helping individuals reconnect with themselves, release old patterns, and live with greater freedom and authenticity.
