My journey with mindfulness started in 2012 in a very ordinary way. One night I couldn’t sleep, so I searched for something relaxing on YouTube. I found a short meditation video and decided to give it a try. It helped me in a way I didn’t expect, and soon it became part of my daily routine.

Over the years, my curiosity grew. I wanted to understand these practices more deeply, so I travelled to India, Japan, Thailand and other countries to learn directly from traditions and teachings there. Each place taught me something new about the mind, the body, and how we connect with ourselves.

When I returned to London in 2018, I started sharing mindfulness with others in one to one sessions and groups. Working with NHS staff, community groups, and workplaces, I quickly noticed that one to one sessions often had the biggest impact. People felt truly seen and supported in those spaces.

Alongside my mindfulness work, I have spent several years working in mental health employment services with the NHS. This gave me another perspective on how stress, pressure, and uncertainty affect people every day. It also taught me how important it is to create safe, supportive environments where people can slow down and reset.
