To Be Mindful In Your Everyday & How To Meditate When Trying Makes You Anxious

Live mindfully, we’re told. Meditation helps stress, they tell us.

We know they’re right, but knowing where to start, and how to develop our skills, can feel overwhelming. Where do we start, what do I actually Do!?
And the overwhelm can lead us to give up because knowing where to start is just too stressful when you’re already living with anxiety and depression.

This is exactly where I was a few short years ago. Too angry to be mindful, too anxious to meditate - in fact the more I concentrated on relaxing, the faster my heart would pound! Just awful.

And then I had an epiphany about how I was seeing my world. I saw things in a whole different way. And I suddenly saw appear in front of my eyes the steps that took me from a second of awareness at a time all the way to where I am now - able to sit with a quiet mind for 20 minutes - and if your still reading this you’ll understand that this feels like an amazing miracle.

Now I’m going to share my path - I’ve worked out the steps to make it easy for you to start, wherever you are now. I will introduce these methods in a way, and with explanations, that make complete sense. You can learn how simple changes of perspective can create big shifts in your world.

Three sessions are included:

One: How everyday mundane and frustrating events can be turned into to moments of peace and presence. With practices.

Two: How mindfulness and awareness of our emotional reactions can be changed to self-awareness, conscious communication and an improvement in our relationships, leading to a greater peace with our circumstances and choices.

Three: How the word meditation can be de-mystified and create space for us to see things clearly. We will practice at least 3 ways, and you will gain an understanding of just how many ways you can meditate – and why - even for a minute at a time, in a noisy crowd!


No whistles or bells, just practical advice to help you live your days more peacefully.


You’ll be held in a strong and boundaried way by me, Yolanda, a trained Somatic Attachment Therapist, Positive Intelligence & Conscious Life Coach and Circle Facilitator, with specialism in Conscious Communication & Relationships, and who creates safe spaces for self-inquiry and expression.


This 3-hr session includes a wellness bag full of information and goodies, and a gift that will anchor you in this practice long after the day.

The price for the workshop is £70

The price for both this and Wild Words (held in the morning, tickets here in options or see separate listing) is £120.

Bravery & Courage to look deeper within

I realised they are really distinct from each other. I may feel courageous at times, but the physical forward motion I’m expecting just doesn’t follow.

Love for your self is sometimes a real challenge. But I’ve come to realise it’s the daily promise we keep to ourselves to care for your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It requires courage to become open with even the darkest parts of ourselves. The parts that are difficult to face.

Women’s Circles are a space in which we come together to hold space for each other. Our are pure share; simply a way to share our human stories and become comfort sharing the peaceful silences between.

Wild Words is an opportunity to self-coach; we feel beyond the conscious and the critical, revealing deeper-held truths of who we are and what we truly want for ourselves. You do not need to be a ‘writer’, just someone who knows there’s more to uncover. Like therapy, without the therapist.

Real Mindfulness & Meditation is a learning container - ways to be mindful in your everyday, without needing to find more time, and How to meditate, when trying makes you anxious

Courage is ‘I feel’

Bravery is ‘I do’

So here I am, being brave.

Come with me. We’ll be brave together.
