My Story

 

I have encountered several life challenges myself such as post- natal depression, divorce, death of a close friend, burn out, anxiety, panic, fatigue and depression.

I have built resilience over the years through using mindfulness, meditation, self-development, energy medicine training, learning from ancient wisdom and self-mastery.

I own The Mindfulspace Wellbeing Company (Wellness Centre and Accredited Training College) based in Ripon in North Yorkshire and through my work over the years I have helped and supported many clients on a one to one basis along with clients wanting a career change into the well-being industry.

“The Gateway” is an introduction and modified version of my work with a choice for anyone to continue their journey in the form of workshops, study programs, accredited qualifications and retreats.

 

My Values & Beliefs

Integrity

by delivering a high standard of professional inclusive mentoring, training and teaching

Community

by creating a like-minded community to improve a sense of belonging

Purpose

to support people to identify their purpose

Empowerment

to teach people the skills to empower their lives

Permission

to allow people to grant themselves permission to understand that happiness is not a permanent state

Knowledge

to allow people to realise that anxiety, panic and depression are not something to be scared of, to understand how their body works and to avoid feeling like a failure

Awareness

to teach people to be aware of the content of their mind but to not identify with it

My Approach

My approach has been to empower people through self-development, wisdom and self-honouring using many Eastern philosophies and ancient time honoured techniques. I have personally dealt with anxiety, panic and depression so the resources are from two perspectives, one as a survivor and two as a trained practitioner.

We have ancient minds living in a super modern, fast and ever changing society. Reading the book, attending a workshop, study course or a Retreat will shed some light on why anxiety is the illness of our time – each resource builds on the last. I talk about energy balance, your personal power, my own healing journey, mindfulness, understanding the body and brain, meditation, Qi Gong, Reiki, the chakras, the auric Field, improving sleep, energy, yoga, ayuverda, self-honouring, ego, anxiety, hormones, technology, gratitude and happiness.
