"The knowledge was invaluable, all info supplied was very clear. Sessions always started and ended on time, always open to everyones experiences and listened attentively to all. Jo has helped make mindfulness a part of my life - Laura ”
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, is a gentle and powerful way to learn how to meet life with greater ease.
Blending meditation, body awareness, and mindful movement, it offers a practical, experiential approach to understanding how stress shows up in your body — and how you can begin to respond to it with more care and skill.
Through regular practice, many people find they are able to:
- Feel more steady in the face of stress, pain, or anxiety
- Navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and clarity
- Reconnect with a sense of presence, aliveness, and ease
Research continues to show that mindfulness can have a meaningful impact on both mental and physical wellbeing — supporting those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, high blood pressure, and more.
But beyond the research, what people often notice most is something simpler and more personal, a feeling of coming back to themselves and a deeper sense of connection with others and the world around them.
Groups of 6-8 people maximum.

By committing to four sessions, you will be accountable for the practice you do and be able to reflect on what is working for you

"Jo’s passion for mindfulness is compelling. Jo teaches her subject with passion and enthusiasm. Throughout the course she instructs us how to live more mindfully and in the present but also prompts us to come to your own conclusions about areas of our lives that we live on auto pilot and that we are not even aware that we do it. This course has fundamentally changed the way I view various aspects of my life!"
~ Lynne
"I really enjoyed the session and felt like I came away feeling relaxed and yet energised!"
~ Carla
"Just to let you know, you were amazing! I didn't know what to expect. I love the fact that you are so genuine and real, not pretending to be perfect after using the mindfulness sessions, your voice is calming and you are very nice and likable."
