Why Mindfulness?

There has never been a better time to introduce mindfulness to people of all ages. The pandemic has exacerbated the stresses and demands of an already pressurised world. And mindfulness is a valuable tool that can help us to navigate the challenges of modern life; among other qualities, it can increase emotional intelligence, self-awareness and resilience. Through focusing on the present moment without judgement, mindfulness can create a sense of calm and provide the space necessary to consciously choose how to respond to thoughts and emotions.

Why Mindful Meerkat?

Jo uses mindfulness to build confidence, resilience and self-esteem; an approach she offers to adults and children, having completed training to teach mindfulness to adults in 2018. Mindful Meerkat draws on Jo's extensive experience and knowledge as well as her drive to help people navigate a constantly changing and pressurised world.

Jo was a teacher for over ten years and a Deputy Head for five. In 2013, she was introduced to mindfulness and instantly saw the remarkable difference it can make to anyone's life, introducing elements of it into the classroom. Jo subsequently took the logical leap, and became a full-time practitioner and teacher of mindfulness to children, then training in three programs: Relax Kids, Paws b and .b. All three teach children mindfulness with a real sense of fun whilst preserving the integrity of the practice.

Having personally attended the taster session I cannot recommend Mindful Meerkat enough. A session with Jo is revolutionary for personal growth and professional development. Jo herself is extremely personable and professional whilst clearly being an expert in her field. The world of mindfulness and how it can work for everyone in different ways is opened up through Jo and her insights. Her passion exudes in her sessions. There is something for every one.

Participant on Mindfulness Taster Session

I would highly recommend the Mindfulness Taster to everyone. Jo's passion for mindfulness is clear, as is her expertise, she made the whole session hugely engaging and informative. The guided mindfulness practices we did illustrated just how quickly the benefits could be felt and the takeaway tips on how to weave mindfulness into our daily lives felt very achievable. This is a great introduction to Mindfulness, which has opened my eyes to how powerfully supportive it can be for our busy minds and daily stresses.

Participant on Mindfulness Taster Session

Jo's Mindfulness course was just what I needed in order to bring more balance into my life. I was experiencing lots of negative voices coupled with a change of direction in my life and the methods that she taught have helped enormously. By putting things in perspective and giving us simple, practical tools with which to tackle our thoughts and emotions is something everyone can learn and benefit from. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by attending her course.

Participant on Adult Mindfulness Community Course

Jo came in to deliver her Paws b sessions to our Year 6 children as part of their Mindfulness module and she was a huge hit. The sessions are fun and informative and the children always leave with strategies and ideas that they can use themselves at home. I think these sessions are of huge benefit to both children and adults and cannot recommend them highly enough. Jo has a lovely manner with the children and we look forward to having her back in next year.
