Why me?
Having worked in a variety of corporate environments over the years doing project and stakeholder management, I can fully appreciate the challenges of working life. I believe that mindfulness training can provide a healthy way to balance the many demands which can sometimes make life feel overwhelming and lacking in perspective.
In the busy, fast paced and highly charged lives many of us lead there has never been a more pressing need to find ways to de-stress. Research shows that practicing meditation and mindfulness can be a successful route to this. I understand the challenges that individuals face when first learning about mindfulness. This is true in any setting, private or public sector.

“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!”
