Testimonials

‘As a counsellor, I signed up for this ‘Mindfulness for Stress’ course in order to enhance my personal practice and to aid my introducing the benefits of Mindfulness to my clients. I had already completed two-8 week courses though mindfulness books, but it meant so much more hearing Martin’s approach, and being in a group. Martin is very inspiring and extremely helpful, the meditations on the course days were very relaxing indeed. His course guide walked us step by step through the 8 weeks home practice with clear explanations of what we had covered in class also. I would highly recommend this course to anyone for their wellbeing!’

I have just finished attending a Mindfulness course that was run by Martin. Martin is an excellent instructor who is passionate and knowledgeable about mindfulness. He led the course in a relaxed and friendly manner, taking time and care to get across the key points. The course, over a number of weeks, teaches you some simple but very effective practices that I have now built into my daily routine. This course shows you how to better appreciate the good things in life and how to cope better with the ups and downs that we all face. I feel it has added genuine value to the quality of my life and that it teaches you essential life skills. I would highly recommend this course to anyone

The Mindfulness for Health course which Martin helped lead was a huge turning point for me in my ‘battle’ against ill health. I learnt to stop fighting, and to start accepting. Not giving up, but learning to live with what I could not change, and change what I could (my thoughts). I’m so grateful for the skills Martin helped teach me

Martin is a caring, soft spoken and well knowledgeable practitioner of mindfulness and the benefits this has for people. Due to his nature, it is apparent that it is natural to him to make people feel at ease and to truly enjoy the benefits of mindfulness and the need to relax and forget your thoughts and calm your busy mind. Working in the job I do, I find relaxing and thinking of just me is so hard to do. Compact that with me being a wife & a mum to teens, it literally feels impossible but Martin made me feel it was doable. I'd definitely use his services again.'

Martin was a practitioner on my summer retreat at Chetham farm in August 2022. He is very knowledgeable and shared the power of the breath in an easy and relaxed way to our retreat participants. He made them feel at ease and able to ask questions during is session. He guided them on a breathing meditation and shared some daily practices to take away to build breath-work into daily life. I look forward to working with Martin again in the near future.
