Paths to Stillness A service to cultivate mindfulness: bringing peace, calm, choice and awareness into your life through 1-1 sessions (women) and also beginner workshops (open).

I have been meditating for 17 years and have regularly completed courses in mindfulness training, including the MBSR (Mindfulness based stress reduction) course started by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I have recently taken a certified mindfulness facilitation training course with Mindfulness in NZ. I have been on monastic retreats and enjoy contemplation. I have a Bachelor Applied Social Sciences (Major in Social Work) and studied for two years towards a Bachelor of Arts (Major in Psychology and Feminist Studies). I have worked in the disability and service sector in various paid and voluntary ways. I am also an experienced childcare caregiver and community support worker for high and complex behaviors and needs.

When we get quiet and listen from the heart, we recognize that all phenomenon in our lives arises and falls, coming and going like passing clouds in the sky or waves in the ocean. In meditation, we come to the realization that we are not these passing clouds, but the boundless sky which holds it all. 🌤️🧘‍♀️☁️

This is such an amazing tool.. it’s scientifically proven to be very effective!

Some of the hardest moments are made even heavier by the thought: “This shouldn’t be happening.”

But sometimes it is happening. The argument. The loss. The diagnosis. The disappointment. The change we didn’t choose.

Radical acceptance is not saying it’s fair. It’s not approving of what happened, giving up, or pretending you’re okay.

It’s gently saying: “This is real right now. I don’t have to keep fighting the fact that it happened.”

That small shift can make room to breathe. To calm the body. To stop spending every ounce of energy arguing with reality and ask, “What do I need next?”

For a teenager in tears after friendship drama, a parent carrying bad news, or anyone overwhelmed by a situation they cannot fix today, the next step can be very small: a drink of water, a pause, a kind text, a shower, a boundary, or simply getting through the next ten minutes.

Accept reality. Reduce the extra suffering. Choose your next step.
