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.

“The most dangerous psychological mistake is the projection of the shadow on to others; this is the root of almost all conflicts. Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." ~Carl Jung

Why do habits feel automatic after a while, even when you never meant to build them? Neuroscience explains that repetition physically strengthens neural pathways, making repeated thoughts and behaviors easier and more automatic over time.

This process is called neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming and strengthening synaptic connections. When you repeat an action, thought, or emotional response, specific neural circuits fire together. According to Hebb’s rule, neurons that fire together wire together. The more often a pathway is activated, the more efficient it becomes. The brain does not label patterns as good or bad. It simply prioritizes efficiency. Repeated worry strengthens worry circuits. Repeated gratitude strengthens positive appraisal circuits. Repeated practice of a skill strengthens motor and cognitive networks.

Functional imaging studies show that consistent repetition increases synaptic strength and can even alter gray matter density in certain regions. This is how musicians refine coordination and how chronic stress can reinforce anxiety patterns. The mechanism is neutral, but the outcome depends on what is practiced.

Your brain is always adapting. What you repeat most often gradually becomes your default response. Over time, small repeated behaviors shape identity, reactions, and resilience.

Nothing like the present moment ❤️

At this moment, if you set the alarm to get up at 3:47 this morning, and when the alarm rings and you get up and turn it off and say what time is it? You’d say: NOW, Now where am I? Here! Here!
🌼🌼🌼Then go back to sleep🌼🌼🌼
Get up at 9:00 tomorrow. Where am I?
HERE! What time is is? NOW!
Try 4:32 three weeks from next Thurs.
By God
It is_There’s no getting away from it_that’s the way it is. That’s the eternal present.
You finally figure out that it’s only the clock that’s going around….
It’s doing its thing but you - you were sitting
Here right now
Always

Taking a moment to figure out how you really feel instead of letting old patterns decide for you is one of the most authentic things you can do.

Sitting in meditation teaches the mind to pay attention…it teaches you to notice the subtle shift in bodily sensations, it teaches you to pause before you take action.

It brings you home to yourself 🙏🏻

It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just needs to be intentional.

Just one minute of stillness can shift your energy, calm your heart, and reconnect you to the stillness that lies within.

Meditation can be as short as my 16 Seconds exercise:

1️⃣ Inhale for a count of four
2️⃣ Hold for four
3️⃣ Exhale for four
4️⃣ Hold for four

Pause right here and now, close your eyes and try the 16 Seconds exercise - it creates instant calm! 😌 Do it four times in a row, and that’s one minute of meditation you’ve just accomplished.

How long we meditate for doesn’t matter - what matters is that we do it - tag someone below who you’d like to meditate with!

Our Story

Sprouting Mindfulness has now been in operation since 2017. We have successfully delivered Mindfulness sessions to over a 1000 children in BWD and Lancashire. We are currently prepping for next years school based sessions, which are going to be just beautiful.

Adult sessions have been delivered to school staff, council staff and we have run community based classes.

We have now partnered with Fusion Well-Being Services and Shone Coaching to reach a higher percentage of individuals from the local area.

So why Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is way of living, that when adopted can free your mind form the clutches of habitual responses and reactions in day to day life. Mindfulness is a way of seeing that is done in a way that is awake and alive to this precious moment. We often become lost in our thoughts and judgements which then create feelings of dislike and aversion. Or we can become so lost in wanting things to be a certain way, our striving for certain ideals, makes us sick and stressed from wishing and wanting. But when we take the time to be still, when we are able to observe our thoughts, feelings and emotions as an onlooker, rather than being attached to the moment of experience as it being solid and true. We can set ourselves free.

This freedom is a life long process and this is why Mindfulness is a practice. We take the time daily to sit and be still. To practice again and again coming back to our breath. You wouldn’t leave the house without cleaning your teeth, so why would you not clear your mind?

SLOWING DOWN TO SPEED UP

I have heard may people explain ‘I don’t have time to sit and be still’, but actually in my experience in we slow down we speed up. By clearing the mind we are effective creating space. Space, which provides us with the clarity and vision to make informed and clear decisions. When have lot’s of things swirling round our mind, it becomes too busy and we end up attempting to multi-task. Multi-Tasking, for me usually means I have a deadline, or I am rushing to get things done. This in itself turns into a moment, day or week of stress and rushing.

Mindfulness supports relationships and while it may seem selfish to sit and take care of your self, in actually impacts everyone you come into contact with.

Children I have taught, love learning and being Mindful, adults embrace the courses and I have even changed the minds of many sceptics.

Mindfulness has concepts and theory. but the real learning comes from the experience. The doing of being! After all we are human beings, not human doings! May you be Happy, May you be Well and May you leave with Ease
