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.


Qualifications

I hold a first class (hons) degree in Social Science, majoring in Psychology.

I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in psychology and special educational needs and have 25 years teaching experience.

I have gained a distinction in a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring.

I am a certified teacher with Youth Mindfulness.

Professional Bodies and Training

I am a member of The British Psychological Society.

I am a graduate of the Youth Mindfulness Kids, Teens (SOMA) and Adult programmes.

I commit to continuing professional development courses each year to stay up to date in teaching and learning, coaching and mindfulness meditation.

Other interests

I am passionate about how people learn, and especially enjoy helping others to enhance their own well-being, through meditation and life long learning.

I love singing and amateur dramatics.

I enjoy time with my family and adventures with our rescue dog who is cross eyed and very needy!
