After more than three decades as a journalist and journalism educator, I decided it was time for a change…
I love spending time in nature really appreciating what’s around me – mindfully noticing what I can see, hear and feel – and so teaching and guiding meditation and mindfulness seemed to be a natural progression.
Meditation has been developing as an integral part of my life over many years. It really deepened after a retreat where, for the first time, I heard someone say ‘you don’t have to clear your mind’ – that was a welcome revelation to me!
A one-day, intensive course led me to use a number of meditation apps to develop a more regular practice… until finally, I undertook my Advanced Certificate in Guiding and Teaching Meditation and Mindfulness.
Now using my broadcast and communication skills from my previous life, I can lead, guide and teach something I am very passionate about.
