With a previous NHS career I am passionate about the positive life changing benefits of Mindfulness. Helping people develop effective calming, techniques through mindful and somatic practices, create personal embodied presence in day to day life and bring more understanding and compassion to themselves and their lives is a joy and pleasure. A more mindful approach in life improves our physical and mental health, resiliency, joy and personal appreciation and connection with life.

This was last Novembers magical MONTHLY MINDFUL WELLBEING WALK

A wonderful woodland walk with wonderful women. Connecting with nature, with ourselves and with others πŸ’š
A beautiful nourishing 'time out' under trees, in wide open space, by tranquil waters and under a vast clear blue sky.
A truly heart warming time, benefiting from tranquil time in green and blue space.
The soft light and soft curls of mist that cleared around us were breathtaking.......

Not a typical November day πŸ™πŸ’œπŸ’š

Joyful and nourishing.....

Would you like to join us?
Its the Washburn Valley between Skipton and Harrogate. We meet at Swinsty Moor Carpark 10.30

Or would you like me to lead your group on a restorative, nature focused, uplifting mindfully themed reset?

Pop me a message for more information or to connect.

Its wonderful to be back in Skipton with the exceptional Skipton Step into Action. Another community wellbeing project begins. I'm delighted to be bringing easy practical everyday mindfulness techniques (along with some FUN!) to a group of busy parents at GreatWood Community Centre

6 cosy afternoons to support us through the darker weeks of the year.

We'll be enjoying easy creative activities and learning new ways to self soothe and calm our body and mind as Winter and Christmas chaos head our way......

Don't forget to be kind to yourself too πŸ’š Especially today, on World Kindness Day 😍 🌎

​Your own well-being is the foundation from which all other kindness flows.

Here are some suggestions to help you support yourself by incorporating kindness in your day mindfully.

🧑 ​The Gentle Pause: If you feel stressed or overwhelmed, pause for one minute. Close your eyes, breathe steadily and calmly for a few rounds.Place your hand on your heart and say silently to yourself, "May I be kind to myself in this moment."

πŸ’œ ​Release Perfection: Catch that inner critic! When you make a mistake, or notice a critical or mean thought about yourself, practice self-compassion by saying something kind silently. Perhaps, "It's okay. I am learning," instead of "I should have known better."

πŸ’š ​Mindful Movement: Take a short walk and focus entirely on the feeling of your feet on the ground. This is a kind way of honoring your body and connecting with the present moment.

🩡 Choose to take a break and do something you enjoy. Even a short few moments away from chores and responsibilities when you connect with something fun or joyful makes a positive difference to our day, energy or mood.
Maybe listen to a favourite song, have a dance, sit down with a book, go outside in the sunshine and birdsong, do some yoga or exercise or pick up a hobby you've not done for a while - whatever lifts your heart or makes you happy πŸ˜„

​Wishing you a World Kindness Day filled with moments of heartfelt connection, both with the world around you and with yourself.

​How will you choose to be kind to yourself today?

A new collaboration began today. I'm travelling home after joining the new Leeds Peer Support Group with Target Ovarian Cancer.

Life can be really bumpy for many of us at times and having a toolkit of calming, steadying techniques and a self supporting rhythm of self care through self awareness and helpful, evidence based ways to respond kindly, appropriately and mindfully, really do help us navigate the bumps more easily.

We explored how to drop our usually (over) distracted mind into the steadier space of our body, how to easily regulate our breathing and how everyday activities can be opportunities to steady, calm and ground us.

Having some helpful, practical, self compassionate mindfulness practices and techniques that we can access anytime, anywhere without any equipment or special spaces are life changing.

I love sharing this kind of teaching, working with groups and connecting with individuals through practice, teaching, laughter and learning.

Feeling grateful and happy to be making a positive difference 😊
