Hello, I’m Amy, founder of Mindful-Being

I started my business mindful-being in order that I could support individuals and groups to explore the practices of mindfulness, compassion, reiki and coaching. Or if we want to think of it in terms of impact - to feel better, resolve a challenge, feel happier, more relaxed or gain greater clarity and alignment.

I have myself engaged with these practices for the very same reasons above at different ages and stages of my life. During transitions in my life, between jobs, moving countries and navigating the complexity of relationships I have drawn on the skill and compassion of others working in these roles to support my journey. As no doubt life will continue to many more twists and turns I will continue to lean into these offerings.

Having space held by another whether that is in a group workshop a 1:1 coaching space or a relaxing reiki session if facilitated well can support us through the most challenging times in life when we may need a little help to build our own resources or a bit of a sign post to help us connect with our own inner knowing.

I offer mindfulness and compassion training to support individuals and group to develop their own dedicated practice. I provide coaching with a focus on workplace wellbeing and transitions to deepen self awareness and self trust. I also offer reiki a powerful but gentle practice which subtly helps us work with physical pain, supports deep relaxation and shift stuck thought patterns in times of difficulty or indecision.

I trained as a mindfulness and compassion teacher with the Mindfulness Association and I am a registered teacher with BAMBA (British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches) and a trained coach. I offer training and coaching programs on line and in person, to organisations, individuals and groups. I have been teaching mindfulness for over 10 years both in the UK and Internationally.

My early career began in Community Development, where I worked alongside young people, adults and groups to strengthen wellbeing, build capacity and support people to have greater influence over their own lives and circumstances. I went on to work leading teams, facilitating groups and coaching, in public, private and NGO sectors. I am deeply motivated by supporting people to recognise their strengths, navigate challenges and move towards meaningful change.

I developed my coaching skills through mindfulness-based coaching training with International organisation Teamup and later developed my coaching skills with Taylor Clark leadership and development agency. My coaching approach is informed by over 2 decades of working in leadership and management roles in the private and 3rd sector, meaning I have a realistic understanding of the challenges faced by those working in middle and senior management spaces. In addition my coaching approach is heavily influenced by my training in mindfulness and compassion, helping me create a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients can develop greater awareness, kindness and understanding towards themselves, leading towards meaningful change.

I feel privileged to walk alongside people as they discover their own wisdom, build confidence and create lives and ways of working that feel more aligned and sustainable.
