This 8-week course is recognised internationally as a treatment for anxiety, stress and the relief of chronic pain.
The weekly sessions last 2.5 hours, and include meditations, teaching and group work. Movement meditations are included. Loose clothing is recommended. During the course there is an additional silent retreat day. This is an opportunity to practise mindfulness at a deeper level, for a prolonged time.

I have designed this course based on my experiences in my careers as both a dietitian and as a psychotherapist, combining these with my understanding of mindfulness.
This 4 week course is run on-line to allow privacy as some personal ideas and belief systems are explored. The course is contained within the ideas of mindfulness and self awareness, and also encourages self compassion.
Individuals are encouraged to explore the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours they have around food. They will be encouraged to challenge these.
Small break out rooms may be used to allow group participants to reflect on the extent to which they judge and criticise themselves and begin a journey of shifting this to acceptance and self compassion.
