Mindfulness for Health
Mindfulness Session and Mindful Meditation Class
Health issues cause terrible stress. And stress causes terrible health issues. If you could learn and practice a daily routine to greatly reduce the anxiety and stress in your body, wouldn't that be something?
I am a counsellor. I also trained to teach mindfulness. The focus of my teaching is on mental and physical health needs, promoting well-being and helping you to get some control over your stress level.
Mindfulness is not counselling. But it is highly therapeutic. For many, world wide, this ancient practice is transforming their lives. This is not an overstatement.
The great thing about mindfulness, meditation and breathing practices is that people feel the changes happens quickly. Symptoms are relieved which helps them to deal with challenges and daily life in a calmer, more effective way.
In my private 1:1 sessions and my mindful meditation class I help young pre/post natal women, to peri/postmenopausal mid-life women, to older women, some with health issues - to reduce stress immediately and to understand how they may be unknowingly causing themselves unhealthy distress.
In my work-place sessions I help people to recognise their stressful reactions and to use the practice to lower their stress levels, now. This supports not only their physical and mental health, but also their efficiency at work and in their daily lives.
You can access this specialised help in 2 ways:
1. Private 1:1 Mindfulness Session and Mindful Meditation Class (1 hour)
2. Mindfulness at Work Session (1 hour)
My Mindful Meditation Class is starting this Autumn. It is likely to be in a Monday morning in Kirby Muxloe. The focus is women's emotional, physical and mental health.
Too many of us are struggling with and worried about our blood pressure, cholestrol, inflammation levels and more. If we can learn a practice that can helps our numbers come down then why aren't we?
The class will be very relaxed and comfortable. We sit on chairs. No special clothing or bells and whistles required. All very normal. And enjoyable.
Its ALL about lowering the cortisol, internal chaos and tension. We will learn how we unknowingly contribute to our distress. And how to change this.
There are worldwide studies galore that you can access to learn more about the significant health benefits of daily mindfulness meditation practice. Be encouraged. You too can enjoy these health benefits.
I can't wait to get you started.
Ethical Practice
I can’t help everyone. I do not knowingly work outside or beyond my limits of competence.
If I feel that my competence, my skills and my mindfulness experience are likely to be insufficient / unsuitable / unhelpfuI I will say so. There may be other mindfulness practitioners who are better qualified to help.
Even though mindfulness is not counselling, I feel this applies to all my work. It is extremely ethically important and something that professional bodies, The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society are very clear about.
So should this be the case, I will do my best to suggest more appropriate professionals/organisations for you to consider.
Well wishes, Marina
P.S. Please note, I cannot partake in a dual relationship with you. The relationship we have is either mindfulness client and teacher, or counselling client and counsellor. They are different.
