OUR
PHILOSOPHY

Stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, overwhelmed, people-pleasing, dysfunctional relationship patterns, self-sabotage, low self-esteem, chronic pain... These are all manifestations deeply rooted in the subconscious mind, manifesting as contracted stress within our bodies and disrupting our nervous system, leading to daily suffering. While talk therapy may address wounds from past adverse experiences through the conscious mind, and indeed this can be useful, it often overlooks limiting beliefs in the subconscious and stored stress in our bodies, much like discussing a broken leg without addressing its healing.

Pragmatic Mindfulness transcends the limitations of traditional therapies. It's a transformational journey crafted from the perspective of your unique lived experience. Understanding that we are multifaceted beings shaped by our environment, it acknowledges the increasing challenges we face in our daily lives. Therefore, when a one-size-fits-all therapy approach falls short in addressing our deeply rooted issues expressed through thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and actions, it leads to anxiety, procrastination, unhealthy relationships, substance dependencies, performance issues, depression, and psychosomatic illnesses, leaving us feeling powerless and unfulfilled. This is where Pragmatic Mindfulness is so uniquely powerful and impactful. By blending leading mental health practices with cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience-based mindfulness techniques, we've crafted a therapeutic approach that not only caters to your individual needs but also effectively releases deeply embedded root causes of trauma from both the body and subconscious mind. This release leads to the collapse and resolution of longstanding issues, as the underlying causes are significantly diminished. It creates space for new cognitive insights and awareness, which our approach harnesses to provide practical tools for immediate application and tangible results. We always realign to the Zinn Kabat 9 mindfulness attitude principles of non-judging, patience, beginner's mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance, letting go generosity and gratitude in this work. The embodiment of these principles through our practise leads to profound self-realization, healing, meaningful connections, and personal growth. Thereby facilitating profound inner transformation; empowering individuals to thrive in every aspect of their lives. Those who have experienced the Pragmatic Mindfulness journey have reported a release of “heaviness” and a deep connection with their inner selves, empowering them to make once-unthinkable lifestyle changes. They've embraced gratitude, joy, and compassion, becoming resilient in the face of life's challenges. They no longer crumble at obstacles but embrace them character sculpting opportunities for growth, infusing resilience in their spiritual beings. As a result, the energy vibration of their realities begin to expand, elevate and align with their heightened inner state.
