We are wired to move away from the unpleasant and uncomfortable, great for survival purposes but also quite limiting as most of us are fortunate enough to be interested in more than just surviving. Being able to allow and even move towards some discomfort is in important too. Discomfort and unpleasant doesn’t always equate to bad and dangerous.
Can you think of times in your life when the unpleasant and uncomfortable has actually been really important in your growth and development? Important moves or decisions that would never have been made if there hadn’t been the metaphorical torch on your arse?
This exploration is an important component of Mindfulness Based stress reduction MBSR.

I am a Registered Mindfulness Teacher with the MTIANZ and have completed and continue to do ongoing training in teaching mindfulness: including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) https://mindfulnessnorthcanterbury.wordpress.com/mbsr-2/ I am supported to teach by experienced mindfulness teachers from around the world.
I am a Registered mental health nurse who specialises in addictions and holistic approaches (integrating body, mind and spirit for wellbeing using a number of modalities) including training in naturopathy, nutrition and massage.
My passion is in the integration of ancient wisdom with modern day neuroscience. Thus uniting the art and science of supporting people to discover their own source of wisdom, wellbeing and healing; connecting with their own “inner teacher”.
