Coaching

Watching so much suffering and the impact that this had felt like such a high price to pay for individuals and corporates both financially and physically. I knew that this system needed to change and felt that integrating mindfulness practices could bring relief to corporates through enhancing resilience, finding mental clarity, calming the body and mind as well as coping with daily stressors in work and home life.

In the last year, I founded the one-on-one Meditate Now program aimed at corporates who are looking to find ways to cope with the stress, pressures and expectations in both their professional and personal life.

My clients are generally go-getters, who always need to be ‘on’ and to keep up with the many demands in their work and personal life. They have high expectations for themselves and are disappointed and frustrated when they don’t meet them. They are smart, driven, and have built a successful career off the back of these attributes. They might also be prone to burn out, and may be feeling the effects of years of stress has had on their mental and physical health.

My clients are great at what they do but have never been taught the fundamentals of mindfulness techniques in a way that makes sense to them. Nor have they been shown how to integrate mindfulness into their everyday life in a way that is accessible and measurable. Other clients may have dabbled in mindfulness in the past, but felt intimidated by its esoteric delivery or have been left frustrated and disillusioned by failed attempts at sustaining a practice.

The beauty in mindfulness and meditation is that this practice cuts through all fields. Furthermore, as I take a personalised approach with all my clients, I am accustomed to adapting my approach and program to suit individual needs.

Other mindfulness coaches might also help coach on other personal or work-related areas of your life. However, I focus on helping you build a strong mindfulness practice first and foremost, which will equip you to tackle other areas more effectively. This might be in the form of meditation techniques during your day at work, during meetings, at home with family or by yourself.

I don’t believe a hard or dictator approach to be effective. Instead, I prefer to take a less serious and more playful approach, focused on motivating and enabling you in an enjoyable way. The goal is to get you to start making these changes long-term from an internal drive, and not from an external source.

After all, mindfulness is about gentleness, compassion, insight, clarity, presence, attention, curiosity, equanimity and so much more so my sessions incorporate all of those qualities.

This being said, I want you to achieve real and tangible outcomes and so do this through a structured program, consistent contact, as well as with measurement tools and feedback throughout.

During our sessions, you will learn the basics of mindfulness meditation and start a routine practice. I will support you in carving out time among other competing priorities so that your practice corresponds with your lifestyle.

I guide you through the techniques and teachings of mindfulness and meditation so that you can have these life-changing practices and tools for the rest of your life

The most common benefits my clients’ experience are an improvement to their performance, focus, better decision-making under stress, feeling more joy and ease in their everyday life, a strengthening of self-awareness and more connection to their body and mind.

Clients may also want to use a Muse headset to measure brain activity throughout the process.

However, the most important measurement in this process will be in your own internal measurement and self-reflection of your inner state. This could be experienced in the way you are feeling within yourself, or how you are responding to your inner thoughts and outer world, and how others are responding to you in return.

Clients have often told me that other people may start to comment that they have noticed a change in them before they have even noticed this in themselves!

However, I find that most people start to feel a change after the completion of phase 1 and then those around them might start to notice and comment on changes in them around the 3rd month.

Stress is one of the biggest contributors to illness, burnout and mental health problems. The more we manage these stressors as a preventative approach the more we can mitigate the need for expensive health treatment or retreat programs or holidays designed for corporates who are burnt-out. Additionally, the flip side is that the more resources we build in ourselves, the more we are able to pursue career, financial and personal goals moving forward.

Regular mindfulness practice creates a strong foundation, propelling you to stay on track in the future. The benefits are cumulative so you will naturally want to keep going. Together we will observe the experiential results from all your efforts so you know your investment in this work is paying off.

This depends on how in-depth you want to go into mindfulness and meditation practices. Programs differ in the number of sessions we have, the resources available, as well as the access to retreat and corporate talks by myself. View program details…

By the end of the program you will not see putting in time for mindfulness as a chore, but rather something you will look forward to and miss when you don’t do it.
