I came to practise meditation in 2005 at a challenging point in my life where I was unable to relax and lead a balanced life. I was running a business with my partner while working with NHS Lothian and nurturing 2 teenage girls, so work and home pressures built up to an uncomfortable level. Through Heartfulness meditation I became more aware of my Self and through close observation; I was able to identify with my feelings and respond to them in a more insightful and informed way.

Having practised Heartfulness meditation for 14 years, I completed an intensive course over 1 year in the UK and India, becoming a trainer in December 2018. I offer both group and individual meditation sessions, collaborate with other community groups and organisations to enable anyone over the age of 18 years to experience meditation and relaxation, offered free of charge.

My background:
I have extensive knowledge of working both professionally and volunteering overseas in Africa, St Helena Island and New Zealand as a health care practitioner (qualified to Master’s degree level) within a range of clinical, primary and community care disciplines across all age groups including adult learning disability, malnutrition, over nutrition, paediatric neuro disability and other clinical specialities. I owned a natural products and delicatessen store for 8 years in East Lothian.
