‘‘Since our session I have had two relatively pain-free periods which is an amazing change for me!’’

- Amy, Healthcare Professional.

I understand challenges

After many years of chronic pain, an additional chronic illness meant having to leave life in London, friends, social life and career to move back home with my parents in my 30s, losing the ability to walk, work and in constant agony.  

Not sure it’s ‘for you’ either?

I’ve tried so many treatments, medications and therapies to help the physical problems and their inherent mental challenges.  I’ve been so open to trying anything that could help, but meditation was something I dodged.  As a chronic overthinker with anxiety, it seemed impossible and intolerable to sit still and listen to the merry-go-round of unhelpful, negative thoughts. 

It was only by truly understanding meditation and the habits of the mind via Mind Calm Meditation that meant I haven’t missed a single day’s meditation since I started. The benefits provide all the motivation.  

I’m qualified to help you

I am a fully qualified Mind Calm Meditation Coach and Mind Detox Practitioner, (certified by the Federation of Holistic Therapists), trained over an intensive 18 month period by bestselling author and modern-day monk Sandy C. Newbigging.  After my mind was blown and world enhanced, I felt compelled to dedicate myself to the study, embodying and sharing of these methods.

Special areas of interest

 My special interests are chronic pain, challenging life circumstances, perfectionism and difficult emotions.  

However bad it feels now

Let’s work together for you to have lasting improvements to your health, happiness and confidence. I can’t wait to see you experience more calm and contentment, regardless of how difficult things seem:

‘‘Before mind calm and mind detox I didn't have any idea how to manage the anxieties I had started feeling on a regular basis. Thanks to Antonia I now have something I can refer to and implement when I am finding life overwhelming.  Quite a result…’’

-Katie, York

What I bring to the table

I draw on previous studies and experience of working with a broad spectrum of people tackling their personal challenges including in the criminal justice and mental health systems.  I have worked with a number of charities including Breast Cancer Now, Alzheimer's Society and Headspace, Bolton.  After graduating from The University of Manchester I spent time in South America at Centre for Theatre of the Oppressed with Augusto Boal empowering disadvantaged and marginalised groups via Forum Theatre. 

As a trained actor having worked in comedy, I like to find light moments in my work too. I’m serious about what I do, but it doesn't mean it has to be serious or dry!

‘‘…she also approaches it with humour and lightness, which makes you feel comfortable with her and more relaxed about the process.’’

- Lucy, London.

Meditation meets you exactly where you’re at

From sceptical to sold…peace is possible for anyone, if you are willing to prioritise it.  While what I offer is impactful, transformative and leads to a wonderful sense of ease, you don’t need to have certain beliefs or take yourself too seriously to benefit!  

‘‘Antonia made me feel really comfortable and enthusiastic about something I had previously been cynical about.  I felt she had a really adaptable approach to dealing with my unique issues.’’

- Katie, York

You’ll feel safe and supported

I’ll share relevant personal experiences and create a judgement-free, confidential dialogue to restore you to factory settings: a relaxed, more present you, with fewer problems and greater peace:

‘‘Antonia is a brilliant leader and I felt very well looked after.  I feel less stressed, more focused and more at ease with myself.’’

- Nick, London

A note from me to you

The seemingly impossible is possible and a calmer, fulfilling life with fewer worries is waiting for you.

Compassion & warmth come as standard and you’ll feel comfortable to share as much or as little as you like in letting go of whatever is holding you back:

‘‘Antonia made me feel at ease and passed on this sense of passion and a nurturing, safe space.’’

- Matt, London
