Why mindfulness? Why now?
We live at a pace most of us didn’t choose and rarely question. No matter how capable you are under pressure, the mind and body still pay a cost for constant urgency. I spent years leading in high-stress work environments, where my own mindfulness practice was a great support. I decided to train as a mindfulness teacher not to step away from pressure, but to help myself and others find a better way through it.

Testimonials
A gift I gave myself during a difficult time
Shelley
What John gave me was something I didn’t realise I was missing: the ability to find stillness, even when life around me isn’t still… Looking back, I realise the MBSR course was a gift I gave myself during a very difficult time… I am incredibly grateful to John for his calm, thoughtful and compassionate guidance. What started as a course I knew very little about has become part of how I choose to live my life.
Genuinely insightful
Sarah
Learning to practise self-compassion — something I’d always struggled with — was genuinely insightful… John was a compassionate, gentle, knowledgeable and encouraging leader, never forcing anyone to share, and taking the time to make the whole group feel valued and heard.
Engaging and kind
Anonymous
John is a brilliant trainer and facilitator… very engaging and kind, recognising individuals’ needs, listening and asking questions. The workshop was great in terms of learning strategies and tools which were easy to put into practice.
