Mindfulness: The practice of Embodied Awareness
Mindfulness is mental training, a practice that individuals and groups can do on a day-to-day basis. It can enable people to change the way they think and feel about their experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, easy or difficult, and especially those stressful experiences.
Mindfulness is also described as awareness and can be used as a tool to manage your wellbeing and mental health.
Research has shown positive effects on the mind, brain, body and behaviour, as well as relationships with others and found that when people intentionally practice being mindful they feel less stressed, anxious and depressed.
Mindfulness can help reduce stress, anxiety and conflict, and increase resilience and emotional intelligence, while improving communication in the workplace. Discover how this meditation and mindfulness program can boost your productivity!
Mindfulness is simply being aware of the present moment
including out thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations
without judging them or pushing them away.
Mindfulness can significantly change the way we relate to stress and difficulty, and enhance our capacity to cope on a daily basis. By developing more awareness, you can learn to deal with difficulties more effectively and find appreciation in what we already have.
It involves acceptance without believing, for example, there is a right or wrong to think and feel at any given moment.
We all have times when we experience stress, along with difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods. Mindfulness can help us learn new ways of handling stress and all that comes with it.

Reviews from clients
“Starting the mindfulness course and I honestly did not know what to expect, doing something so intimate via zoom. I received a very warm welcome from you and was put at ease straight away.
I loved the way you showed us different technics with the emphasis you put on some will work better for you than others. I found the mind-full movements and the mediation in ‘being kind to yourself’ very powerful.
I enjoyed the way we would all share our experiences as a group and found it very affirming that other people felt and thought the same way.
I would go as far as saying my thought and attitude has changed when dealing with other people and in return my life has changed for the better.
Thank you so much and hugs to you!” Lisa Wright
“Ali is a wonderful teacher and clearly loves this course. She is deeply intuitive and explains everything with great care and wisdom. She creates a safe, relaxed space in which to share experiences with the rest of the group and she makes sure that each person has time to say what they want” Susie Scott
“I would thoroughly recommend the 8 week Mindfulness Course I recently completed with Ali. The content was not only relative, but interesting, informative and practical.
Ali has a nurturing and sympathetic approach to teaching, she is extremely engaging, providing an inclusive environment and thoughtful content which I find easy to interpret and use day to day.
I am confident I now have the tools to continue my journey of self care, thank you Ali, it is very much appreciated" Barbara Roberts
