I am thrilled to take on the role of Members Programme Lead, where I work to establish and coordinate a dynamic membership programme at Oxford Mindfulness. I’m enjoying getting to know the community and hope to help build a programme that supports learning, connection, and the ongoing deepening of practice in a way that feels engaging and inclusive.
As an experienced HR and IT professional, I’m very aware of the importance of mindfulness as a means of supporting well-being in all areas of our lives. After almost two decades of practising meditation in a variety of forms and across a range of traditions, in 2024 I took the next step to train with the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation to become a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT-L) teacher.
“I recognise that the power of mindfulness is so needed in the world, and I’m delighted to share it with others.“
