Hello. I’m Nick.
I am a registered mindfulness teacher and speaker.
I’d love to talk to you about the benefits of mindfulness and how it can assist your well being and way of life.
Why Mindfulness Matters. Today

"Make sure you weave your parachute every day, rather than leave it to the time you have to jump out of the plane." Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Difficult things will happen to all of us at some point in our lives. Lots of little things and likely a few big things. The question is not if, but how we must deal with them. Mindfulness is a considerable help in dealing with the challenges we must face - letting us ‘float down’ gently and kindly; and ensuring that we ‘weave our parachute everyday’.
Following a significant bereavement in 2018, I have found meditation practice and mindfulness to be a considerable support. These have provided me with both hope, and the practical skills to discover different way of living, and a new way to live.
My quest is to use mindfulness as a tool to support individuals and businesses in the areas of wellbeing, productivity and an overall improved approach to living. My approach combines a passion for mindfulness, a range of teaching qualifications and understanding of the business world based on 30+ years experience.
