I am a mindfulness practitioner and an Oxford Mindfulness certified trained teacher whose mindfulness journey started in 2007 when I didn’t even know the word “mindfulness.” When I read about MBCT, I understood how my mindfulness practices had helped me and transformed my life. It gave me scientific reasons for the changes I experienced.
As I teach mindfulness courses, I see the changes in participants at the end of the course. I have become more and more confident in the courses I teach. I know from my experience how things we learn throughout the course can be useful and helpful for us to navigate the inevitable challenges of life. It also helps us to become aware that the life we have is much richer than we think and full of things worth appreciating.
My ambitious mission is to help people maintain and improve their wellbeing and mental health through evidence-based mindfulness programmes, and to promote the concept of mental self-care on a societal level. My ultimate goal is to contribute to building a world that is less reactive and achieves sustainable peace by supporting individuals in learning to respond skilfully to distress, be less reactive and make skilful choices through mindfulness programs. I believe the stress levels and reactivity in society will follow those of individuals.
