Mindfulness & Self-Compassion
Mindfulness is a skill and a practice that is essential for our wellbeing and long-term wellness. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is therefore a modern essential, in sustaining your wellbeing and mental health (which is a form of happiness in itself). Thus, mindfulness is an opportunity to create more of a stress-free life, cultivating playfulness, human warmth, healing and flourishment within yourself and those around you, leading to a high-quality way of life. Self-Compassion is another essential skill and practice when you are struggling with life and therefore through mindfulness, learning how to be compassionate with yourself, as you find your way back into life, will become priceless, a strong aspect of your wellness journey.

A Modern Essential to Living A High-Quality Way of Life, Being and of Meaning
More ​than just a form of meditation or practice, mindfulness is essential to a modern form, high-quality way of life (of which financial security cannot always guarantee nowadays) for health of mind is that of economic wealth, sustained long-term. Furthermore, mindfulness is that great opportunity to learn about life in that ‘anything and everything can become our teacher of the moment.’

Wellbeing of Your Inner Child Through Self-Compassion
​
Health of you, is the health of your inner child. In modern life, the needs of our inner child can often become neglected. On your wellness journey compassion will therefore be a fundamental aspect of how we nurture a new quality of life. For example, if you had a difficult childhood, self-compassion will become an integral part of the healing process. However, if you had a good childhood, working on yourself in adulthood and nurturing your inner child is still a lifetime responsibility. Together, we can reconnect with your inner child and create inner peace.
​
Compassion therefore throughout your life will be an important part of how you approach life events and equally translate the complexities of the human condition. This is an aspect of your wellness journey (and plan) we can include as part of your coaching experience.
