Living with a chronic health condition can be exhausting and isolating. If finding the motivation to face the daily grind is feeling way more difficult than usual, you might want to explore how mindfulness training can help.

​

Mindfulness offers us a way to take back control of our lives and find a greater sense of peace and wellbeing. Years of research has demonstrated how it can help us to develop the skills to manage stress, alleviate pain, and improve our overall health and happiness.

​

As both a mindfulness teacher and someone who lives with a long-term health condition, I've experienced first-hand and observed in others the transformative effects of this practice. Through mindfulness, you can learn to cultivate greater awareness of how your physical health impacts the mind and leads to emotional distress. Through developing a more compassionate and accepting attitude towards these challenges, we can alleviate a huge amount of unnecessary suffering. This can lead to reduced stress, improved sleep, and give you the motivation needed to engage in self-care habits that support your wellbeing.

​

In this six-week course, we'll explore the science and theory of mindfulness and learn how to establish a daily meditation practice. You'll have the opportunity to practice in a supportive and understanding online environment, and learn how to apply mindfulness techniques to your daily life. Mindfulness recordings specifically tailored to help alleviate chronic health conditions will be provided. 

Join us on this journey towards a more peaceful and happier life.

About the Teacher

Louis is a mindfulness practitioner, meditation teacher, psychology grad and founding Director of The Wellbeing Campus. With over ten years meditation experience and eight years of teaching mindfulness, Louis combines his passion for mental health with his love of mindfulness, positive psychology and neuroscience to help individuals and groups build healthy habits that have lasting changes. 

​

Louis took on the biggest challenge of his life six years ago when he unexpectedly became a full time carer to his two nephews. His training in mindfulness and passion for holistic health is a testament to his ability to ‘hold it together’ while managing the daily challenges of caring for children with trauma-related issues alongside running a business and managing a long-term autoimmune condition. 

 

Louis worked for several years in NHS and community sector mental health services, observing first-hand some of the limitations to an overly medicalised approach to mental health. Having worked alongside many psychologists and other skilled mental health practitioners, Louis considers mindfulness and compassion training to be fundamental in creating lasting changes in ones life.

 

As scientific evidence of the therapeutic benefits of meditation and yoga continues to grow, Louis seeks to further embed these ancient practices into his local community of Wirral and beyond. 

 

His one-to-one work with clients is rooted in person-created, evidence-based practice, the type researchers have found can facilitate structural and functional changes the regions of the brain associated with stress management, emotional intelligence & resilience, compassion, learning & memory, and positive emotion.

 

Louis makes a consistent effort to keep up-to-date with current research and best practice guidelines, holding compassion and professionalism to high esteem. Each year he attends a 10-day silent meditation retreat, comprising over 100-hours of practice, and continues to build on his experiential understanding of mindfulness to help others embed this transformative practice into their daily lives.
