ABOUT
I am a certified Mindfulness Teacher and Circle Facilitator, trained in the Way of Council, based in South-West London.
I founded BridgeMaker Mindfulness in 2019 to help children, teenagers and adults cultivate greater presence, resilience and emotional wellbeing through mindfulness.
Today, BridgeMaker Mindfulness is evolving towards applied mindfulness: integrating mindfulness into learning, communication and everyday life so that people can thrive both personally and professionally.
Drawing on over 15 years of meditation, yoga and personal development, I offer structured mindfulness courses for individuals and groups, facilitate Circles, and develop mindfulness-informed educational programmes that combine academic learning with practical tools for focus, emotional regulation and self-awareness.
My work is shaped by both professional expertise and lived experience. Following burnout eight years ago, mindfulness transformed the way I understood wellbeing, self-care and resilience. It became not only a personal practice but the foundation of my professional work.
As a mother of two adult daughters, a former professional translator, and a university lecturer for 16 years, I understand the demands of balancing learning, work, family life and wellbeing. I also bring both lived and professional experience of neurodiversity and specialist training in neurodiversity-informed mindfulness.
I create supportive, flexible and inclusive environments where neurodivergent and neurotypical children, teenagers and adults can all flourish.
Whether I'm teaching mindfulness, facilitating Circles or supporting learning through mindfulness-informed education, my aim is always the same: to create spaces where people feel safe to learn, grow, connect and discover their own strengths.
