Workshop
Description
I bring thousands of hours of meditation experience (Vipassana and Zazen) — including service as a student manager on silent retreats — together with over a decade of work as a teacher and professional development coach. My sessions offer accessible yet powerful mindfulness practices, grounded in modern neuroscience and supported by clinical research. Participants are guided through short meditation exercises, with opportunities for questions and clarifications between and after sessions, ensuring they not only experience the practice directly but also gain the tools to refine and integrate it into daily life.

About the Host
Therapist, workshop facilitator and organisational consultant, I support individuals to rediscover personal harmony and organisations to develop collective excellence. My career has spanned a range of disciplines focused on supporting others to achieve their full potential. I've been a tutor, a teacher, a coach and a guide; a leader of teams and a manager of professional development and human resources. I've freelanced, run businesses, and worked across contexts—from small organisations to global firms; in offices, in the field, and remotely. These roles have ingrained in me a deep-seated optimism in people's capacity to change, and a drive to help build systems and structures that support such change.
