What if mindfulness is the key to you thriving and experiencing a greater sense of joy and contentment?
Do you find often find yourself feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted with the busyness of everyday life?

Or perhaps frequently find yourself caught up in regret and ruminating about the past?
If you’d like to feel calmer and more resilient in the face of life’s inevitable challenges, then this is might well be the course for you.
Over the past 30 years Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme has become the most widely recognised and well established mindfulness course. It’s benefits have been well-documented by research and it has been scientifically proven to help people better cope with stress, depression and anxiety.
The seeds of self-compassion already lie within you
and you CAN learn to uncover this powerful source to create lasting transformation in your life.
I’m Claire, your guide on the pathway to living your one, wild and precious life with joy and wisdom. I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of this work – not only at the individual level, but also because it can foster real transformation in the world.
I love the fact that even with all the inner and outer imperfections we can learn to embrace ourselves and our lives, and grow a deep inner confidence that will support us to thrive, not merely survive.
I bring with me nearly two decades of experience teaching mindfulness-based approaches. And I would love to be your guide to living and loving your one, wild and precious life.
