About Me

Hello, I am Julie. I have been practicing Mindfulness meditation for over fourteen years now. I have found it very beneficial in my own life, especially when going through challenging times.

Some years ago, I attended the 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course which inspired me and from there began to share my practice with others.

I am a certified Youth Mindfulness teacher - trained to deliver the Adult, Teen (SOMA)  and Kids programmes, and as a coach and qualified teacher I love helping people to transform their lives.
