About

I teach Mindfulness for Health and Wellbeing, along with Art and Mindfulness courses and a variety of workshops at East Sussex College as part of their community programme.

Online classes are also available via Zoom, offering a supportive and accessible space to practise together.

I run retreats and workshops at a variety of venues including Berwick Church. We practice outside in nature and inside the church where the murals provide a unique focus for mindful looking.

I’m an accredited Breathworks mindfulness teacher and a registered member of BAMBA (the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches).

Breathworks programmes are based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and adapted to support those living with chronic pain, illness, or stress.

My teaching is grounded in care, integrity, and a commitment to the BAMBA Good Practice Guidelines.

My Background

My own mindfulness practice has helped me to manage and live more freely with chronic pain and anxiety. Some years ago, I benefitted greatly from an 8-week mindfulness course at Maggies Cancer centre.

Inspired by my teacher there who imbued warmth, acceptance and kindness in her teaching and relationships, I trained to teach with Breathworks.

How I teach is informed by my own mindfulness and Buddhist practice, and by my ongoing development as a teacher and practitioner. 

Mindfulness & More

Connecting to Nature – I love to teach mindfulness outside in nature when possible. Being in nature in a contemplative way can really support our mindfulness practice, enlivening a sense of wonder and awe and bringing us to our senses.

Mindful movement – This is a form of moving meditation with the breath as our guide. The Breathworks Mindful Movements have been specifically designed to accommodate and gently work with the limitations and experience of chronic pain. However, most people who do not have restricted movement also find the movements in the programme very beneficial.

It has become an important part of my own practice, a way of becoming more aware of and receptive to the needs of my body.

"She is imaginative and empathetic in her teaching of both art and Mindfulness. We know that our members have greatly benefited from Stephanie’s Mindfulness & Relaxation sessions – all the more needed in the time of the pandemic which has had such a profound effect on older populations. I would highly recommend Stephanie.”
Vivienne MitchellSenior Coordinator, Open Age
"She is calm, kind, she is good at welcoming and involving everyone she also has a very soothing voice. All perfect."
"Stephanie is an excellent teacher. Very calm and soothing, she led the mindfulness exercises so well that I felt totally relaxed walking home. It felt like therapy to me, a break from the stress and anxiety I suffer. I also loved experimenting with various mediums to produce interesting artworks, again expertly tutored by Stephanie. Overall the combination of mindfulness, art, poetry and nature made Friday afternoons something to look forward to each week. I'm actually a bit sad that its not going to continue."
"I think Stephanie is a great tutor. She has a good voice for mindfulness. She also does include explanations and poems which add to the fullness of the session."
"I have really enjoyed the short-course, wish it had been for longer. For the first time I have had the confidence and enthusiasm to do a piece of artwork at home and I'm looking forward to doing some more and combining the two practices of art and mindfulness together really helpful."
"The course was brilliant, I understand the benefits of mindfulness but have never used it to open my imagination."
"Stephanie is an excellent teacher. The sessions were well structured and I learnt a lot about mindfulness which has led me to enrol in further courses"

"Gentle and thoughtful teacher easy to listen to"
Thank you for providing the wonderful mindfulness course, it has really helped me over the 5 weeks, more than i realised it could at the beginning. Thank you for creating a calm, open space for us to share a couple of hours a week together as a group and learn helpful practical mindfulness techniques to manage everyday life with a little more ease and compassion. Thanks for passing on your wisdom, knowledge, and peace.
