ABOUT PRAGMATIC MINDFULNESS™️

In a world that’s moving faster than our nervous systems can keep up with, it’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in survival mode. I created Pragmatic Mindfulness to meet that exact moment — a space where Eastern wisdom and Western therapeutic tools meet to support real people with real-life challenges. The modalities I draw from include Somatic Experiencing (body-based trauma release), Polyvagal Theory (nervous system regulation), NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model for complex trauma), MBSR and MBCT (evidence-based mindfulness), Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Parts Therapy, and energy-based techniques like Quantum Touch and Reiki. These energetic practices help move what talk therapy can’t always reach — gently shifting blocked or stuck emotional energy so deeper healing can unfold. This multimodal approach was born from my own lived experience - years of trying to show up fully and share my voice and perspective in spaces where that was often seen as inconvenient. In my personal and social circles, I frequently felt unseen or misunderstood, coming up against subtle (and not-so-subtle) forces that expected me to shrink to fit the status quo. And while this was less overt in my corporate life, the same underlying patterns showed up: doing excellent work but being overlooked for promotions, being gaslit about why, or sitting just outside the “inner circle.” It became clear that what I was navigating in my personal life was simply being mirrored in my professional world. I knew I deserved better, that I could be better and it was up to me to figure out how. Through deep personal enquiry, mentorship, professional training, and a whole lot of trial (and painful error), I came to understand that mindset work alone wasn’t going to cut it. Real, lasting change requires healing at the level of the body, the nervous system, and most importantly, the mind and soul, where the unspoken stories we carry silently take root. These stories shape our beliefs, our self-worth, how we show up in the world and what the world reflects back to us. With this understanding, I’ve spent the past decade fine-tuning this approach through real-world application as a trauma-experienced, trauma-informed wellness practitioner, corporate analyst and consultant, mindfulness facilitator, and breath and meditation coach. Now, I devote my energy to helping people heal from the inside out - not just cope, but truly reconnect. If you’re carrying chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, low self-worth, or the emotional weight of narcissistic abuse or codependency, you’re not broken - but something needs to shift. My 8-week programmes and one-off sessions offer a grounded, compassionate space to untangle what’s weighing you down, release what no longer serves you, and remember the version of yourself you may have forgotten - the one that’s always been there. Pragmatic Mindfulness stands out for its simplicity, integrity, and for finding the power in embracing our imperfections. This isn’t about chasing perfection or avoiding discomfort - it’s about learning to meet yourself honestly, with curiosity and compassion. You’ll leave with practical, embodied tools to help you navigate life with more awareness, resilience, intuition, and a deeper connection to your purpose. I bring a warm, intuitive, and grounded presence to every session. My style is collaborative, conversational, and gently challenging - offering just the right mix of safety and stretch. Above all, I hold space for self-trust, transformation, and the kind of growth that feels like coming home to yourself.
