One-to-one Mindfulness Support
Sometimes you need someone (not a group or an app) to help you make sense of your stuff. No judgment, just support
How did your last Sunday evening go?
I’m asking because if you’re anything like me, you’ve had Sundays when you decided This Week Will Be Different™ - Sundays when you find that meditation app you downloaded six months ago (and update it because… yeah), you enable notifications, and set your alarm 15 minutes early. Monday morning, there you are, really trying while the guide’s soothing voice gently whispers in your ear ‘just observe your thoughts’. But yours are like ‘parkour!’ - am I sitting right, did I answer that email, what am I gonna make for dinner, how can I avoid the never-ending team meeting, am I just wasting my time with this, I’m pretty sure I’m doing it wrong. Which naturally makes you feel anxious, which makes you think am I too anxious to be good at mindfulness and why can’t I ever get anything right.
It reminds you of the meditation classes you’ve been to, where everyone else seemed to be floating on a cloud of enlightenment, while you were just sitting there wondering where the F your breath is and concluding that maybe mindfulness is just for people who have their life together.
If you're silently nodding (and maybe feeling a bit called out), but also thinking okay, but how do I know this won't be another thing I try and give up on?, one-to-one mindfulness support might be exactly what you need.
Because maybe what you need isn’t moew willpower, another app, or a class where you can hide at the back and plan your shopping list. Maybe it's just having someone who can translate all this mindfulness stuff into something that actually makes sense for your real, messy, overthinking life, and who won’t let you weasel out of it (in the nicest way possible).
Because googling 'how to stop worrying' at 3am isn't working anymore
From:
Feeling like you're the only one who "can't get" mindfulness
Getting stuck in the same patterns despite knowing better
Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by generic meditation advice
Not sure if you're "doing it right"
Needing support but dreading group settings
Wondering if your mind is "too busy" for this
Secretly thinking maybe mindfulness just isn't for you
To:
Knowing how to go about the tools you learn about so they actually fit your life
Understanding your patterns and knowing how to work with them
Practising mindfulness in your own authentic way that doesn't feel forced
Realising that the only way to do it ‘wrong’ is to not do it at all
Having someone in your corner who gets it
Understanding your unique mind (and working with it, not against it)
Finding your own authentic way to be mindful
Your options:
Six-session pack — £350
To teach you a whole lot of mindfulness principles and practices, in a structured way: If you don’t know what you don’t know, and just want someone (me!) to take your hand and walk you through the main things you need to know about mindfulness. Or bring a sense of structure to all the things you already know. This is like taking part in a groups course (indeed, we’ll follow course curricula), but individually - so, while losing the group and community element, you gain flexibility and an approach tailored to you only.
One-off session(s) — £65
To set you up: If you’re completely new to mindfulness and meditation and are feeling a little lost as to how this all works, and where and how to start - from how to sit, to how to build up from 5 minutes to an hour when you can’t seem to sit still.
To answer any questions or get you unstuck: If you’re finding a particular type of practice tricky, or a particular posture, or time of day; if something happened and you’re not sure how to make sense of it; or any other questions you need answered to continue with your practice.
To take you further with your practice: If you’ve tried the basic practices and postures and it’s all going ok, but something isn’t quite clicking into place.
